Sometimes the scariest part of going away on vacation is going back because it is in that new place you realize what's going wrong in your real life. Before beating yourself up, love yourself for what is missing ( it's not your fault!) and then tell yourself you will gradually recreate your life. And remember you have always just done what you could with the tools you had at that time. Love to you.....

You don't have to be finished, amazing, well paid, acknowledged in order to be beautiful. The truth is, the things we are taught we have to be in order to love ourselves are just that --lessons, and not good ones. The you that shows up in the world in whatever state you are in is intrinsically lovely.

If recent events have filled you with fear, know you aren't alone and hold your heart and mind as you would a small child; with care, gentleness and compassion.

If you look at the picture of someone's life and you can barely see yourself there, take a deep breath, hold on to your heart and go searching for a new canvas.

Remember, you belong in the picture wherever you are.

If you are having to make yourself very very small to fit in someone's life, it's time to go.
You may lose him or her but in doing so you have a chance to get you back.

As Holly Hunter said in the film, Living Out Loud, "What was I so afraid of, that you were the better choice?"

Choose you

Don't waste time hating yourself for what you didn't do in the past, embrace that no matter what you aren't right now: whether it's aren't in the job you want, aren't in the body you wished for, aren't in a relationship, what you are deep down is a star that just might not have found your place to come out and share your light. Challenge yourself to dust yourself off gently, say goodbye to the aren'ts and pick one small thing today to say here's me to the world. I'm always able to change. I am working on it. I'm safe and loved by people I may just not know yet.

Believe in your voice first, your power, your vision, embrace the you that stands alone still fighting, pushing, knock down the doors that stand between you and your needs. Rip out the old model and reach inside and say damn it, I'm going to rebuild myself starting now.

I have a wonderful group I created called the Hug Therapy Meetup Group Cambridge/ Boston. The goal is to give and receive joy and caring in a non sexual way. We all need human touch and for one reason or another may not be getting it in our personal lives. Let's come together and get back to who we were meant to be as humans; connected, supported, heart focused. Check my page out and join us lovely people 🤗

Sometimes the point of desparation can lead you to the most beautiful place where you finally, for lack of alternatives, reach out to create what you have been missing. And suddenly a barren field you inhabited can become a blanket of gold.

For so many, myself included we create boxes of what we can't do, where we can't go. And these boxes start to make such a very high tower we can't see past it. Sometimes the most beautiful thing can happen when we step through Scarychallengeville, we land in Ineverdreamticouldbethisgreattown. After a beautiful weekend of doing just that, I want to send you some loving energy to step through the thing that's tough for you. You will arrive somewhere very beautiful inside, a place you said no to will suddenly be a yes in your heart

We have to try to put those bricks from the past down so we stand a chance of building a new better home within

Walk down the path you think you don't belong on. It doesn't matter if you have to tiptoe, take breaks, sit down, but walk it just the same. On the other side of where you've told yourself you can't be, you actually might find you.

Sending hugs and love to all the gentle souls I know...

Sometimes in your life it isn't about what you create 'working'. It's about you daring to create. That's success, just daring to try.

04/30/2016

Sometimes the trauma we carry from the past, past hurts, rejections, memories that haunt us are secretly running the show in our minds. Try today, if you can to gently notice how you may be carrying the past in the present. And then give yourself a big hug for your bravery

Wherever you are in the world, inside, hold on to the belief that no matter how you feel when you look at the mirror, you have something very beautiful and precious about you. You are here for a reason. 💝

An excellent article discussing how important it is that we find support systems:

Wishing you love, support and hope today

The wisdom of the ages, anecdotal reports, numerous clinical studies, a wealth of epidemiologic data on death rates in married, single and divorced individuals

We all deserve love and kindness, if the people in your life are making you feel small or less than, it's ok to walk away. And if you can't walk then at least look in the mirror and say to yourself a mantra, I am loveable, I've got something beautiful to offer every moment
