Save the day. Set the mood.

live in your passion

You cannot move forward in your life if you do not allow yourself to move.

- Steven Cuoco

Change is definitely not easy and it can come at the most unexpected time. If you were always given an early notice of what is about to happen in your life. Would you kick and scream about it, or would you embrace the opportunity that stands before you?

Would you answer the door or run and hide? Or, maybe, just leave out the back door and never return. Some people will do that when they are scared enough or pushed to a point when deciding a situation is just not going to happen for them.

Nevertheless you are capable, you are strong, and I guarantee you that you will be OK no matter what. Why? Because what is meant for

you is also not meant to hurt you. If it helps, pray about it. Light incense and put on some good sounding music to help you go to that safe place within yourself and find your peace.

Everything that is happening in the world around you, and outside of you, cannot control you unless you allow it.

Stand up for yourself and let the people in your life know what you will tolerate and when to say NO to someone who may be abusing you.

Set boundaries with yourself and give yourself permission to say NO even when it's uncomfortable.

Your mental and emotional health depends on it.
