Forgiveness
Go ahead
Let them see your brokenness; let them see the cracks in your armor – for that’s how the light gets out. Will you let us see your brokenness?
on Need
Consider this the next time someone you know (child, in-law, spouse, etc.) acts out, acts up, pouts, snorts, stomps or whines: Love me when I least deserve it because that is when I most need it. –Swedish Proverb
The living answer
“Religion is about having the right answers, and some of their answers are right… but I am about the process that takes you to the living answer… it will change you from the inside. There are a lot of smart people who are able to say a lot of right things from their brain because [...]
Price-point
If you really put a small value upon yourself, rest assured that the world will not raise your price. ~Author Unknown Lately, I’ve evaluated how I “spend” my time vs. how I want to. Isn’t it odd that we measure time in units of value? How did you spend your day off? Oh man, I [...]

“When someone comes to me with a problem, I don’t care what it is: poor health, lack of money, unfulfilling relationships, or self esteem issues… there is only one thing that I ever work on, and that is LOVING THE SELF.
