Love yourself... enough to take the actions required for your happiness…enough to cut yourself loose from the drama-filled past... enough to set a high standard for relationships... enough to feed your mind and body in a healthy manner... enough to forgive yourself... enough to move on.

My relationship stays strong because I serenade her with my actions and I write poetry in her heart with my deeds. My endless love is expressed with more than just my words; my love is lived as a verb.

There is nothing better for your family than for you to be at your best, for you to be at your own peace, for you to be showing them in every way who you are, and what you stand for.

I will never let someone else’s opinion define my reality.

When I accept myself, I am freed from the burden of needing you to accept me.

Your ability to see beauty and possibility is proportionate to the level at which you embrace gratitude.

Meeting you was not the first day of the rest of my life; it was the first day of the BEST of my life.

When my mom cooked on Sunday, she made an AMAZING sauce! Even though it instantly smelled great, it took hours to be ready. It was worth the wait! Wonderful things shouldn't be rushed. Lasting memories are built slowly. So if sauce shouldn't be rushed, it's definitely ok to not rush your relationship. Build it slowly... it will be worth it!

Forgiveness: It’s not because they deserve it; it’s because you do. Sometimes forgiveness is about loving yourself enough to move on.
