Truth...

"There's a huge space between us, and it keeps filling up with everything we don't say to each other."

~From the film, Mr. & Mrs. Smith

Have you ever noticed how great you feel when you tell the truth and clear the air, so to speak? There is accuracy in the statement, "The truth shall set you free"! Being open and honest frees up an enormous amount of energy and gives you the confidence and space to move forward.

Did you know that not telling the truth, even if you're doing it to protect the person you're not being honest with is manipulation?

It is... You're trying to protect something or someone and you're seeking a desired outcome; so you manipulate the situation by not telling the truth, to get what you want.

It's best to say what's on your mind. Let the other person determine whether they can handle the information you're delivering. People are stronger than we give them credit for.

There's just one caveat... Make sure when you're telling the truth, it's your business to do so....

Make it a fabulous week!

Just a Thought From Me to You...

"Those who love you are not fooled by mistakes you make or dark images you hold about yourself and even defend. They remember your beauty when you feel ugly; your wholeness when you are broken; your innocence when you feel guilty; and your purpose when you are confused." ~Alan Cohen

It is so important to remember that no matter what your external circumstances appear to be, you are always bright, you are always beautiful, you are always whole, and you are always worthy.

You are loved!

Beyond the Dress...

"Over the years I have learned that what is important in a dress is the woman who is wearing it."
~attributed to Yves Saint Laurent

How are you showing up in the world? Are you a ray of sunshine or burst negative energy dressed in nice clothing? One of the best ways to tell, is to pay attention to the way your body feels when you're communicating with others. Does the energy running through your body feel really good, or does it feel kind of yucky?

It doesn't really matter how fabulous you look on the outside, if the way you're showing up in the world is unattractive...

If you desire to be and feel more attractive, begin paying attention to the level of energy flowing through your body, and to the words emanating from your mouth.

With beautiful regards...
