Blank Page
Sometimes there’s this blank page staring at me and I have no idea what to write about. It doesn’t happen often, but it happens every now and then. Ideas come and go and I cannot hold on to them. I am not satisfied with them. I want more of them. I get frustrated and...

You know your truth
You know whether you're lying or not. You know whether you're happy or faking every darn smile. You know whether your soul is soaring or your heart is crying. You know your truth. Even if you feel numb. Even if you feel lost. You know what's right. You know what's...

What if you didn’t weigh yourself?
How would you feel?
How would you live your life?
How would you determine your worthiness and the level of your happiness?
What would you DO in the morning after waking up?
