I Know the Truth About You
A few years ago I fell in love with an incredible man who did not love me. While a painful experience, it was also one of the very best gifts I’ve ever received. It came with clear sight – at least when it came to him – and there’s few things that have changed me […]

You Are Loved
You are loved. You are loved so completely that if you chose to let it all in, you might have to spend the rest of the year weeping with the intensity of it. Let me guess – you are thinking that there is no possible way I can say with any authority that this is […]
