Self help, because you are your greatest asset.
Self Worth
I used to think that I needed to jump on every opportunity, that every chance missed was a door shut and a step backwards. I thought what the universe presented to me was what I needed at the time, until I found myself living in a reality that wasn’t aligned with my true authenticity; in simplistic terms, it didn’t feel good. Your current reality is a reflection of your self worth. Not your actual worth, but the worth you believe yourself to have, because those are two very different things. You may believe you can’t get better than that unfulfilling job with the shitty boss. I bet you justify it every day in your head or to others, or better yet, you blame. What you really deserve is purpose, fulfillment, something that lights your soul on fire. But you don’t believe that, do you? I bet you’re even thinking, well not me, or I’ll never find that, or someday but not today. But here’s the truth: the universe only wants us to grow into our full authentic versions of self, and we are conditioned and taught off that path. We have learned to SURVIVE instead of THRIVE. The people, the places, the things, in your life are all manifestations of what you have attracted, accepted, and most of the time settled for.

The Importance of Signs
Too often we overlook the importance of signs. Which signs, you ask? The ones that present themselves to us from a higher source. Bear with me—this doesn't have to be a religious or spiritual post. I know that can be a touchy subject and not everyone necessarily "believes." If I were to really dive deep into the topic of "believing" in something, anything, I'd say the most important thing to believe in (besides God) is YOURSELF! Your higher source could be different than mine and I'm not here to negotiate that. There are so many things we can do to make life so complex. Things won't always make sense or line up in our favor. Most of the time we will feel like we're going against the current. That's because we find ourselves resisting things that have presented themselves for our highest good.

Are You Addressing it?
This year will be a year of growth. It will be a year of opportunity. It will be a year of constant Self-Care! I pray that you overcome whatever you are going through right now. I pray that you find the time to address your health and care for yourself this year. I pray you learn not to let others get to you. I also pray you learn to get enough rest and eat well. I pray that you do these things because self-care is important and it is how you will get through this year and through LIFE!

Self-Love
This is by far one of my favourite subjects and yet I am still learning about it everyday. Despite being of an utter importance – it is a subject that is often overlooked and even more often misunderstood in our society. Self-love. I was familiar with the concept for years, yet it remained just that – a mental concept in my head with no idea on how to apply it in real life. And for some reason finding it out was not high on my priority list. Most likely because nobody told me just how important it is. It was a somehow mysterious thing, one that sounded vain and liberating at the same time and one that some people seemed to just magically have. It was almost like you had to be born with it in order to grasp it. Little did I know at the time – we were all born with it, it is our very essence and birthright. The problem is what happens after we are born – namely being shown and told we are not good enough. By our parents, by our teachers, by other kids and eventually by ourselves as we start to believe it. It has to be said that more often than not the message is not delivered on purpose and most of the time not in a direct manner either. It is more the case of us arriving to that conclusion just by living and observing the world around us. Every time we are told that we need to have good grades in school in order to be rewarded, every time we are compared to other children, every time we are punished for misbehaving – we learn that love comes with some conditions attached. And every time we fail to meet those conditions, we end up feeling not worthy of that love. The examples mentioned above are quite common and hence are something the majority of people can relate to. Then, there are those of us whose stories were far more traumatic and abusive and the consequences more pronounced, but the bottom line is that almost no one reaches adulthood without having had at least one experience that made them feel not good enough.

Lost
Since the year 2001, I have always been able to maintain a job. The first job I landed was for a market research company. I am grateful for this opportunity because it helped build confidence and interpersonal skills over the phone. In December of 2002, I went to work for a theater company doing sales and marketing. For the first few years, I thoroughly enjoyed working with other staff members and collaborating on new marketing ideas for growth in sales. I also had the privilege of seeing productions for free on opening and closing nights.

One Way, and Only Way
You ever had any great things you wanted to do? You start by planning everything in your head and think how great they will be for you. Sometimes you may even write them down, but when it comes to doing them, suddenly your mind tells you they're not important anymore, so you never do them.

To Love Yourself
I know there are some people out there in this world that go through a point in their lives when they lose themselves, which has more than likely made them second guess who they are, and their purpose as a measly little human being on this planet. I, for one, have gone through this, and as a matter of fact I’ve dealt with this my entire life. Since my childhood I’ve struggled with self-acceptance and always wanting to be liked by others, and because of this it caused me to desperately need approval from other people. This craving just grew every single day like a fast growing vine, and until I knew it my entire life was engulfed with this need for others to like me.

Ask, Believe, Receive
Is there something you really want in life? Is it a new job, house, husband or wife? Or do you want to make more money, or debt-free is the plan for this New Year? Well, what if I told you that you can have what you ask for just by using three simple words? Ask, Believe, and Receive. These three words have power. Some people do well with using these three words and are able to receive what they ask for or better. However, there are some people who have a hard time applying this to their life. I am going to show you exactly what to do to apply it to your life and receive what you ask for, but always remember TIMING plays a huge factor in receive what you ask for.

Keeping Sane In a World That Is Insane
How do you even begin? It seems as if everything you have is falling apart, or just not fitting into your lifestyle. Society loves to play its daily role in our lives: "Dress like this, and the guys will adore you!" "With opinions like that, you will never have friends." "I need to gain weight because the world loves thick girls now." How can you even be yourself if you don't have a support system?

Love Yourself
I have a question. You might be inclined to deny, for the sake of not seeming self-conscious or insecure. But have you ever thought you were ugly, unattractive, or unappealing in any way? Maybe you think your eyelashes are too short? Maybe you think your hair is too straight or unruly and curly? Maybe you think you're not skinny or curvy enough? Maybe you have a flat tush or a big booty? Maybe you don't like those hairs all over your body? Maybe stretch marks? Your skin color? Eye color? Hair color? Maybe you think your lips are too small or too big?
