GIVE.

I discovered something unexpected in my years of helping others. Something you might not like to hear. I must say it took me a while to see this. Primarily because it is hard to believe. So here it goes. The people who I could never help, the people who stayed in grief, sorrow and loss were the people who did not know how to give.…

Second Firsts Love

You are not a character in a movie.

Tell me who you are outside of everyone else’s expectations, outside of your fears. Outside of the part of you that is so afraid to be real. Who is that? Who is the person that’s holding you back? Oh my dear friend, there is a big, big life waiting for you outside that door. Go on. Walk over there. And open it. Come on do…
