Lately I’ve been thinking about the importance of acknowledging yourself. Not anything you’ve done but who you are. If we are honest with ourselves, every day we are bombarded with messaging about who we should become. More fit, more intelligent, more beautiful, more accomplished. While those are great aspirations, I think perspective is needed.

I am constantly evolving as a woman. I reflect this by the things I say and do every day. In order to embrace change, I must first accept the moment. This means, each moment of my life is speaking to me. It’s up to me to listen.

As I listen to myself I give myself permission to be who I am. Permission to change inside and out. Permission to say yes to my dreams, giving myself the power to simply be.
