Dear Ones - OK. Let's do this. Let's say our goodbyes to 2016. But let's think for a moment, really seriously, about HOW we're going to say our goodbyes to 2016. The easiest and least thoughtful way to do it is by saying, "F*ck you, 2016!" — which I keep hearing people say... And listen, I GET IT. It's been a hell of a year. I won't review the major facts on a global level, because ...
It's time to exhale. After all, it has been a long year. And we've had our breaths baited for too much of it. So take a moment. Get comfortable. Sink into yourself. And allow yourself permission to let go. Uncurl your fingers. Slow your breath. Loosen your grasp on the anger you've held onto, and forgive yourself for what you didn't get right this year. Forgive yourself for trusting the wrong person. You couldn't have predicted the future and you owed it to yourself ...

Here's the truth... Being pretty doesn't keep a man. Being honest doesn't keep a man. Being loyal doesn't keep a man. Treating a man good doesn't keep a man. Being there for a man doesn't keep a man. Caring about a man doesn't keep a man. Making an effort doesn't keep a man. Paying attention to a man doesn't keep a man. Spending time with a man doesn't keep a man. You could have the best intentions, you could have the most sincere feelings, and you could ...

Life has trained you to push yourself as far as you can to realize your dreams, but sometimes, things don't work out the way you planned them. Emotions rise, morale drops, and as much as you want to try, you learn that there are certain walls that you can't break and mountains that you can't scale; it's then that your gut tells you that the best course of action is to give up and let go. In a competitive society, giving up is often seen as a lack of perseverance, or something to ...

Love is a curious thing and most people are looking for it. Women seem to be especially susceptible to feeling the need to find someone to be with. The neediness and desperation of people often shows through their vulnerability for love. There is just one problem: neediness and desperation are not attractive. Stop evaluating everyone as the potential "One". People say you find what you're looking for when you stop looking. This is true fundamentally because looking allows ...

You can't plan love like you can plan the next food you eat, or your next vacation spot. You can't plan when you fall in love, or when you get heartbroken. Love is not something that you can see coming. It could be right in front of you, or you could be looking in the wrong direction. Maybe you think you already have found it, but five, six, seven, eight or maybe ten years from now you'll realize it wasn't true. You can't decide to fall in love. You can't ...

You can try to ignore what it is that you want. You can think of reasons why you should wait a little longer, why now is not the right time to act. But you'll always be on edge. You can't really get it out of your head. It's not in there anyway. It's in your heart. It's in your being. When you think the desire is gone or has been replaced, the smallest reminder of your desire sends it hurtling back to the forefront of your mind, making your head spin. ...
