“It is time to center yourself. Pull your focus inward. To what you know you want and deserve. To respect, and reciprocity, and giving only to those who commit to the asking. Be discerning with your time, and your energy, and your tender heart. Be infinitely brave in owning your voice and speaking your needs and your truth. This work is hard, and it is holy, and it is so, so good. Because when you reside in your center, all there is left to do is expand. You have done this so many times before. You know what comes next. There's some serious power brewing here. You could say 'watch out world'. But it doesn't really matter if they do or if they don't. What comes next is just for you.”

“Loving yourself is scary. That's why people don't do it. To love yourself is to make eye contact with yourself and to stare a measureless distance into your soul, love what you see and embrace the journey to and through the pillars of emotion, then rest on the cushion of the heart. Imagine that. Then, make it a reality.”
