Life is busy these days... back to work with mom duties too. Glad to be at it, but still finding a balance. I know this will take time, but it's well worth the time invested. Loving the joy my girls provide me daily, but never forgetting everything that brought me to where I am.

I recently read Brene Brown's The Gifts of Imperfection. It's simple message resonates with me so deeply as I have been lately dealing with deep feelings and questions. Here are some quotes from the book that struck me. Enjoy and may you choose to be as authentic and true to yourself as possible each and every day. Namaste.

"Certainly, the people we love inspire us to heights of love and compassion that we might have never achieved otherwise, but to really scale those heights, we often have to go to the depths of who we are, light/shadow, good/evil, loving/destructive, and figure out our own stuff in order to love them better. So I'm not sure it's an either/or but a both/and. We love others fiercely, maybe more than we think we love ourselves, but that fierce love should drive us to the depth of our selves so that we can learn to be compassionate with ourselves." -Renee Cobb

"We don't change, we don't grow, and we don't move forward without the work. If we really want to live a joyful, connected, and meaningful life, we must talk about things that get in the way."

"Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It's about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let our true selves be seen."
