Be true to yourself, Believe in yourself, Love yourself

Societal pressures are something that can be counted on to always be around. The pressure to be a certain size, pressure to have the right job, pressure to be in a relationship, to have kids.

Baby steps still move us forward

I don't know about y'all, but this past week was something crazy. I have this theory that life is like a sine wave (for you math geeks) with its ups and downs.

Rowling) If you are like me, you were born and raised here on a little planet called Earth where magic must be found in the world … Continue reading Be Inspirational – Find Your Magic →
