Be Confident: You Know Who You Really Are

That internal voice - it's always there, undermining your confidence, silently eroding your self-esteem, but you know who you really are. A beautiful young woman is thinking about who she really is, and her confidence level.

There's that little voice inside your head that seems to pop up whenever you're at your most vulnerable. Whenever you're already questioning yourself and what you're doing and whether or not you really do deserve the best that love and life have to offer. For many of us, it's subtle and not loud enough to [...]

I Can't Make You Love Me

Of course you thought you could make someone love you. Haven't we all been there? You, too, believed, in spite of what everyone told you, that you could actually change his heart. A beautiful woman looks out at the snow knowing it's finally over.

You know exactly what I'm talking about here. Because you've been down this path far too many times before. Of course you thought you could make someone love you. Haven't we all been there? You, too, believed, in spite of what everyone told you, that you could actually change his heart. And no matter how [...]

What Do You Have to Say?

What do you have to say? I know about him, I've heard all about him, but what about you? A beautiful woman is raising her hands in a field of tall grass feeling the sunshine.

I've heard what he says, you've told me. But what I'm more interested in is: What do you say? What do you like to do? Where do you like to go? What are your dreams? Your goals? What are you passionate about? Who are YOU? You can answer so many questions about him; you know everything about [...]

Is He Worth It?

Is he really worth it? A beautiful woman is crying herself to sleep over her boyfriend wondering to herself if he's really worth it.

I heard you crying yourself to sleep last night, you still haven't heard from him, but you're sure he’ll come around. Is he worth it? I heard you talking on the phone yesterday, saying he didn't come home last night, but you tell yourself he probably just had to work late again and stayed downtown [...]

Once Upon a Time There Was a Little Girl

Once upon a time there was a little girl who believed she could do anything (Photo of little girl jumping with joy)

Once upon a time you were a little girl who knew her worth couldn’t be measured; a little girl who believed in herself and her dreams, which were big dreams, and that little girl knew she could do anything and that her dreams would come true. Until they came along and told you that you [...]

Beautiful Goodbye

A beautiful woman is crying after her breakup, thinking of the song A Beautiful Goodbye, after having her heart broken.

I recently went searching for a song that I couldn't quite remember but couldn’t get out of my head, and I finally found it… A Beautiful Goodbye, by Amanda Marshall. She's a Canadian singer from a decade or so ago whose passion for life and love came through over and over again in her songs. It got [...]

How Doing ONE Thing Differently Can Bring LOVE Into Your Life

Love Your Life - Happy Smiling Beautiful Woman

I’ve learned many things since my single days.  Some are things that I regret doing and wish that I had done differently, and some are things that I regret not doing in the first place.  It’s this second group that leaves your body aching with the painful regret of missed opportunities, of what could have [...]

Something from The Inspiration Box

10813734_s

Here’s one of my favorite poems that I've found inspiration in many times over the years.  This one I had on a print hanging on my wall when I was in my twenties; it’s now very tattered and worn from taking it down off the wall and hanging it back up each time I moved.  [...]

The Only New Year’s Resolution You Need to Make

9140779_s

I started out writing a list of New Year's Resolutions to recommend for this post – a collection of a few that I had made myself over the years.  As I reviewed the list I started crossing some off, and then I started combining the similar ones.  I soon realized it really all came down [...]

My Christmas Wish for You

8787496_s

I have a confession to make.  I’m the one who starts crying (OK, I have to admit sometimes I’m actually bawling) at some of the Christmas songs playing this time of year.  Maybe it’s because they bring back such memories of more than just time and places and experiences, but of actual emotions, and the [...]
