And I don’t wanna hear you tell yourself
That these feelings are in the past
You know it doesn’t mean they’re off the shelf
Because pain is built to last
Everybody sails alone
But we can travel side by side
Even if you fail
You know that no one really minds
Hi. How are you? Busy, overwhelmed, tired, overwhelmed? Did I say OVERWHELMED twice? Why, yes I did. I get it. I have so been there and am there a lot. Do that thing that has been weighing you down. That thing you have been putting off out of fear. Or laziness. One of the two. That thing you know you need to do for all the right reasons. Do it. Yes, you. Do that thing today. What are you waiting for? Someone to push you off the cliff? No one is going to do it for you. You have to take action on what you really want. Physical action, not just thinking about it. There are no shortcuts to any place worth going. - Beverly Sills Plain and simple: If you want to make things happen, take the reins and make it happen. - Lara
Dang it, they called me out. This is only too true. I better start doing…right now.
Remember that at any given moment / There are a thousand things / You can love.

Congratulations to the Joyful Heart Foundation on another beautiful gala honoring people passionate about ending domestic violence and sexual assault, as well as for continuing their noble and important work with these difficult issues. Thank you for spreading joy and changing the world!
“Our issues are heavy because they are very complex, because they involve pain, fear, darkness, isolation, judgment, ignorance and an entrenched lack of understanding. They are heavy because people’s lives are at stake. But together, they’re not too much to carry. I swear. That, I do know.” -Mariska Hargitay-
