How do you talk to yourself?
I woke up Saturday morning in the middle of a dream. In my dream, I was at a women’s business retreat and I was helping the woman next to me craft an introduction that she would use before she got on stage to tell her life’s story.
I said to her, “You have to use the same words to describe yourself that you would use to describe Maya Angelou.
“You have to see that the crucible of your life created a soul of talent, dignity and beauty.
“Because it did.”
I’m telling you this because you are that woman.
What words do you use to talk to yourself, to describe yourself and your life?
I hope they are words of reverence, grace, beauty, appreciation and love.
Because you are a shining star, a precious piece of the divine, showing up here in physical life for a brief flash of eternity. You are unique and special and your life and your lessons have value and worth. You are a celebration of life re-creating itself, just as beautiful as a flower, a snowflake, a beautiful sunset.
What would it be like to live your life from that place? To live your life knowing that you are special and that your life is meaningful and valuable?
Give it a try today and find out.
And then leave a note here for me and share your experience of living from your truth and your soul, so I can celebrate with you.

Thank you for this reminder, Cara! So often it is much easier to find the good in and be complimentary and forgiving of others. Will have to remember the Maya Angelou requirement!
