The Power of Saying “Yes”

In a world full of "no's," and "not enough's," why is it so important that we start saying "yes" to ourselves? We all live with choice. What choices are you making?  If you truly said "yes" to yourself in every aspect of your life, what would that look like? What would saying "yes" to yourself look like today? And not "yes"…

Truly Living Is Not Depressing

"6 months to live? Sounds depressing!" I get this response a lot. So much in fact that I've even considered changing the name of the blog.
