In my journey of personal transformation, I've learned the things we desire most, like wealth, love, and happiness, don't happen by accident, but by consistently practicing thoughts and habits that align with those states of being. Many of us are waiting for circumstances to change on their own so that we can feel better; as a… Continue reading Choose Love. Choose Joy.
What is Love? Love: a loaded word with extremely subjective meaning. Some of us see the word and feel inspired, while others of us are triggered by memories of disappointment, abandonment, or an extreme sense of longing. Love, despite its subjectivity, is a universal concept. People all over the world are reaching for alignment with it… Continue reading 3 Signs You Aren’t Loving Yourself
