*Forgive yourself for not knowing better at the time,

*forgive yourself for giving away your power,

*forgive yourself for past behavior,

*forgive yourself for the survival patterns and traits you picked up while enduring trauma,

*forgive yourself for who you had to be!

Be strong but not rude

be kind but not weak

be humble but not timid

Worrying is stupid. It’s like walking around with an umbrella waiting for it to rain!

this one is so hard for me but I write positive affirmations on my bathroom mirror every night so I see it when I’m going through my morning routine. My friends even make a point to go to my bathroom to read them when they come to visit me

Hugging is the most beautiful form of communication that allows the other person to know beyond a doubt that they matter

If you have come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hold on…..

i tell myself this so many times a day!

I love when people that have been through *** walk out of the flames carrying buckets of water for those still consumed by the fire…..

One day it just clicks…..

you realize what’s important and what’s not. You learn to care less about what others think of you and more about what you think about yourself. You realize how far you have come and you remember when you thought things were such a mess that you would never recover and then you smile….you smile because you are truly proud of yourself and the person you fought so hard to be…

If it cost you your peace it’s too expensive!!!
