You Deserve a Smile

How much approval do you believe you deserve?

We only feel the level of approval we believe we deserve — For much of our life, many of our choices have been unknowingly motivated by a desire for validation from outside of ourselves.

We arrive with every step.” — Thich Nhat Hanh There is a very excitable dog that I have been walking for a while. At first, the dog was…

Walking with nowhere to go — We spend so much of our life running away or towards something. Yet life is only available right now. Happiness is only available right now. Peace is only available right now. Our mind doesn’t believe this and so, we keep looking into the future for something “better” completely blind to…

Bringing Healing to the Relationship

Taking time to pause brings new space into the relationship. — Often, we speak and act in a very reactive way. We tend to act on impulses, charged emotions, and clouded perceptions. When we do this, our relationship feels hard and tiring, and slowly we feel more distant. …
