I leave you...

I leave you hope to leave our community and word with the understanding and acceptance that each day is wrought with challenges, blunders, struggles, and hardships. But with wisdom and reflection, these hard times can be seeds that allow us to blossom and thrive. Each morning should be cherished as another opportunity to grow and strive for success no matter what it looks like. Let the yesterdays and negativity go, do not be cumbered with old nonsense, but rise like the sun in splendor and light each day to make yourself and those around you become IMMEASURABLY MORE.

I leave you...

the hope that each person realizes their value and sees the light in one another. My hope is that you live a life of unconditional love. My hope is that you recognize the gift that life is and that the world is simply a mirror in which you control the reflection. Know that each person is doing the best that they can and we all deserve a little compassion. Lastly, I want you to know that self-care is not selfish. You do not need permission to put yourself first.
