1/23/19: Emotional Courage

My goal in the #denofpositivity has never been to *stay* positive, or to *not* have uncomfortable feelings; I learn again & again that light & sight are on the other side of the feels. The real goal here is to *remember* positivity; to remind myself that positivity is a powerful reward of mindfulness & self-exploration. The more I do that deep, hard work in the mirror, the more positivity I feel.

1/1/19: Only You

“No one is going to love you 
exactly like you imagine.
No one is ever going to read 
your mind and take every star 
from the sky at the perfect 
time and hand it to you.
No one is going to show up 
at your door on a horse, 
with a shoe you lost.
Do you understand?
That's why you have to love
yourself enough, so that 
any other love just adds 
more candles to the cake 
you've already iced.”
