Confidence and Truth

As a mom, sometimes it’s really hard to know what to do. We very much want to do what’s right for, and do right by, our kids. We want them to know that they are loved, and we want to be firm in our expectation that they know right from wrong. We want them to [...]

When I think about what it means to be a confident person, the first images conjured up by my mind are of a stage; people performing on a stage, to be exact. Actors, singers, motivational speakers, people whom I have often envied for their confidence. The confidence required to face hundreds, maybe even thousands of [...]

Introducing a Month of Confidence

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do. ~Eleanor Roosevelt, You [...]

An Infinite Work of Art – You

Just recently I read a quote, author unknown, which really started me thinking. Don’t you just love such moments, when a whole new chapter of your mind opens itself up to the possibilities of what was, what is, and what is to become of you? “If you knew me in the past, please do not [...]
