A letter to my daughters

and to you...

“Be your own best friend.

Look in the mirror at yourself each day. Closely.

Recognize your magnificence and beauty - your radiance.

Be inspired to seek inspiration.

Love all of yourself, even the not so pretty parts. And live learning. 

Make decisions guided by what feels right for you - as a body - right now.

Be honest about how a relationship adds to or detracts from you loving yourself.

Change negative thoughts to positive ones.

Believe in the possibility of new possibilities.

Never apologize for who you are.

Have confidence that you are just right, just the way you are.

When obstacles come, Problem-solve.

Make trust and respect a requirement for all relationships.

Do not invest deeply in people who cannot love you as you are today.

Serve, and Protect.

Put on your own oxygen mask first. 

Don’t let “love” weigh you down.

Pause, ask yourself, “does this bring me joy?”

Whether in health, relationships or career, having what you truly desire REQUIRES YOUR ON-GOING COMMITMENT TO YOURSELF.

You have the Power to create a joyful life.”

Daily affirmation:

I am a beautiful miracle of creation, connected to all living things. May my work contribute to health and harmony within me and all I come in contact with. Today.
