Note to Self #3

Pay attention to what life is teaching you and where it’s taking you. If you were to tell me that I would survive some of the toughest emotional trials over the last 10 years – I’d tell you – nah, I’m not. I’m not that strong. Not someone breaking my heart. Not feeling like you might lose a parent.  Not defeat. Without a doubt I would tell my younger self, “Girllllll, if you don’t get yourself up off of that floor and assume total control of  your life – which absolutely includes your  happiness.” No one can take that away from you – and you should never put anything worth losing in the hands of someone else – particularly not your worth, happiness, finances and growth.

Girl, get your life. So now I am proactively welcoming and maintaining my states of peace and understanding that calmness is the constant I need, chaos is not.  Self-sabotage (as defined below). It’s bad for you. Don’t …
