Invitations

An invitation to share a meal does not have to mean that you will be that meal. Be very aware of your surroundings - including the people, places, and the energy that may affect you. Everyone else's idea of an invitation may not be what you have in mind when you extend an invitation to someone.

Be aware and mindful of what you're being invited to - you may not want to attend.

It's beautiful to be you...simply beautiful.

Done From the Beginning

When all you can think about is what happened before, who was there before, how you felt before or how you were treated before...honey, you were done from the beginning.

In order to grasp your present and give it the chance and the power to create your future, you have to let go of your past. That in no way means that you should forget the lessons you've learned from your past. But you can't cling to your past and expect to move forward into your future. You have to make a choice. You have to decide what exactly you will hold onto.

You have to decide if you will be held hostage by past pain, past failures, past disappointments, past embarrassments or even loss. While some things are easier to let go of than others, letting go always begins with the choice and decision to do so. If you can't let go to go forward...you're already done from the beginning. Think about it.

It's beautiful to be you...simply beautiful.

It's okay to love. To love all the good and the bad, the ups and the downs - it's okay. It's okay to love all the perfect imperfections about a person...including yourself. No one is perfect. The sooner you realize that, the sooner you will be able to love yourself wholeheartedly. The sooner you love yourself wholeheartedly, the sooner someone else will be able to love you too.

It's beautiful to be you...simply beautiful.
