    “It’s all about falling in love with yourself and sharing that love with someone who appreciates you, rather than looking for love to compensate for a self love deficit.” ~ Eartha Kitt

      What you ARE vs. what you AREN'T.

        Knowledge is the food of the soul.

          Every second is a chance to turn your life around.

            What's the biggest 'yes' you have burning inside...?

              Things won't change until we do.
