Fear is loud and bossy.
She can be vicious at times.
And the worst of it is that
she often mingles truth with fiction.
But you must learn to challenge
the stories she feeds you.
You get to be the boss of your thoughts.
You can learn to question
whether or not
everything she tells you
is truth,
whole truth,
and nothing but the truth.
Since you have done the work
to deepen self-awareness
and self-compassion,
when she throws all your past failings
in your face you won’t crumble
because you already know you are imperfect…
AND you are beautiful
and resilient
and worthy
of building a
thoughtfully crafted life.

somewhere I have never traveled, gladly beyond
One Last Kiss
Our goodbyes meant nothing at all,
A True Romance
You're the best thing to happen to me,
The Nightmare Before Christmas
Big, fat Santa bounded through my halls;
I Need It From You
Sometimes I'm confused and don't know what to do,
What Love Can Mean
How can I let go of you, the one who holds my heart,
Courage To Leave Abusive Relationship
From the Depths of despair when my world fell apart
