THE GOLD

“When you decide ‘It has to be me’, you're choosing change. You’re changing with every choice. You are in control of how much you change. You decide how much you seek it out and how much you embrace it. Every experience is an invitation to return to self and examine your relationship with change.”

“You are what you practice. The cumulative effect of making better food choices regularly, and being clearer and stronger, empowers you to make better choices in all aspects of your life.”

“Do you feel guilty about spending time on you? The least selfish thing you can do is look after yourself. When you practice self-care, you have more capacity to be present and love others. Finding a balance between self care and care for others is essential.”

“Embrace the mantra of ‘Good, Better, or Best, Not Perfect.’ Perfection doesn’t exist. Just aim to make the next better choice.”

“Are you motivated by what is wrong, or do you lean into what could be right?”

“Acting with fear is much easier than living with the pain of regret. The ‘coulda, woulda, shoulda’. I don't want to live with ‘What if’s’. I'm going to keep showing up, and learning and growing.”

“You are the star of your story. You’re never too old to dream. It’s never too late to make a different choice and be better. Practice self care, love yourself, be in community, choose your people wisely, and decide ‘It has to be me!’”
