I Choose Peace
We are mistaken when we think our happiness and our peace will come from an external source. Your happiness and peace come from your soul. Yes external things can distract you from your peace.

You are allowed to take up space.
You and the things that make you happy are allowed to take up space. It is your responsibility to manage that space so that it does not impede on the space of your fellow humans, especially the humans you love. The mental, emotional, and physical space you need to survive are all on you and…

Sunshine Makes Things Better

You’re Not Everything
You can’t be everything to everyone in your life. No matter how hard you try you can’t please everyone. It’s not possible. You can say yes. You can do and do and still…it will not please everyone. Stop trying. It is okay to say No. You are not everything, stop trying to be. Those special…

Maybe you shouldn’t
Just because you can do a thing, doesn’t mean you should do it. Think things through. Deliberately pause and ask yourself if you should do it before you do the thing you so desire. Save yourself some grief later.
