"You don't need a man by your side to validate you as a woman.  You already are loved and valued.  You're good enough exactly as you are.  Do you believe this?  Because it's true.  You have limitless worth and value.  If you embrace this truth, it will affect every area of life, especially your relationship with men. You are worth dying for. Your worth does not come from your body, your mind, your...

"Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it."   -Maya Angelou The past six months have taught me more than I thought I could learn in such a shot period of time... I have learned that if love is true, it can withstand any test that comes its way. I have learned that when faced with a battle you can choose to fight or give up, and that fighting is always the...

I'm in Texas, still... for good... with Nick. And absolutely, totally, completely, irrevocably in love! I've started not one, not two, but THREE businesses with Nick's help, and I've been helping him a little with his, though I don't do much other than take notes, hand him stuff, and smile a great smile  =) We have a beautiful apartment in downtown Houston, and we've done a lot of fun stuff together...

I officially have my first clients! I will be meeting with them Friday morning and will service their house for the first time that same day. Needless to say, I am VERY excited  =) The way this business fell into my lap, I have no doubts that I can see it through and make it successful. I am driven, enthusiastic, positive, and focused. That's the way it's going to stay. 

I was doing some searching on the internet for inspirational quotes, poems, and essays and I came across this interesting essay on the measure of a man: The measure of a man…   I used to think it was money, because growing up we didn't have any and it sure seemed like it would help. For the most part, I was right. Money can get you just about everything you could ever need. But does it make...

You just told me that you loved me before you hung up the phone - and then you realized what you said. You hesitated afterwards, as if you wanted to take it back, or say something more... Did you hesitate because you just told me a few days ago that hearing "I love you" and "I miss you" makes it harder on you? Do you still mean it?  I do.  And missing you hurts more than anything I've ever experienced...

Happy 93rd birthday, Mr. Sinatra. I hope you're living it up  =) Tell my Nana and Papa I said "Hi!"

I watched one of those Lifetime movies tonight, and was reminded that I once said that I believed love was enough.  It got me thinking about it, and I had time to really re-assess how I think about that statement... If we have mutual trust, accountability, attraction, common interests and goals, security, honesty, dependability and friendship - among other things - in accordance with love, then...

Once you meet a man that you really love, the average man doesn't hold much interest.

Sometimes we have something without truly knowing what we have. Sometimes we hold something without knowing completely what we hold. Sometimes we are given something without fully appreciating what we are given. But that knowledge usually comes when we realize what we have lost. ------------------------------------------------------------ Never take life - or love - for granted. I...
