“My arms are in celebration-mode because it is the first time they have seen the sunlight in years. I hid them shamefully under cardigans and long-sleeve shirts for most of my life, believing that I was doing everyone else a favour by covering up my unlovable body. But for the past month, my favourite cardigan has found a new home. It resides on my couch, or on my laundry hamper, or on my dresser, and maybe back on my arms at night when it gets cool. I no longer use it as a crutch – it’s not protecting me from myself anymore. I am learning to love myself and I know now that love is the only protection I will ever need.”

“Heather is a flower that grows in Scotland - it grows on moss-covered bogs and infertile, barren land that can no longer produce vegetation. Even so, wild Heather finds its way to burst through its surroundings so that it can proudly display all of its differing shades of violet to the world... as if to say "Look, here I am! I have grown in all of the places you thought I never could.”

“If everyone would just realize that it is okay to feel sadness or madness; it is okay to feel all of the dark emotions of the soul. They do not define you or your life, but they are still a part of being human. They come and they go. Let these perceived dark emotions come out and you will see upon truly facing them that they aren’t even that scary!”

“Eighty days ago today, I made a pact with myself. A pact that has already begun to change my life in ways I never could have imagined... and it all started with one loving thought.”

“I used to wish that I would just wake up one day and the bad feeling in my mind would be gone. The heavy, dark, lingering presence that would tell me the moment I woke up that I was going to dread the day ahead. The one that would tell me it was pointless taking any time to get ready in the morning, because I would never look cute enough anyway. There was no point in dieting, because binging was inevitable. As soon as I felt the cravings rise up in my mind, I could not open the cupboard doors fast enough. All I was doing was looking for ways to feed the self-hate and guilt that had grown deep roots within me, unconsciously giving them sustenance to keep them strong.”

“... Do not let your wounds define you – that is not their purpose. The purpose of your wounds is for them to wake you up from the unconscious ways you have been living your life so that you may begin to realize your true potential as a conscious being. As conscious Creators, it is our responsibility to be inquisitive into our wounds and to become aware of why we have created them for our self, accept them as the messengers they are, and then find a way to lovingly live beyond our crippling misperceptions of them.”

“I found that when my mind started to clear and my thoughts settled, there was a constant flow of information being giving to me about my soul, the universe, truth; really, anything I had a question about. It took about one hundred days to clear the chatter, and now, all I hear is love. Even the things I didn’t like about myself before are being transformed without my even trying! My worries, anxieties, fears, judgements and misperceptions are now so basked in light that I am not even scared of them anymore. There is absolutely nothing to fear and nowhere to go and no one else to be.”
