Have you been searching for a more peaceful existence? I was; and when I let go of my concerns about what people might say if I put my feelings on display, I found the best part of myself.

Revealing your inner thoughts on a public forum are sometimes frightening because you are opening yourself up for criticism. I know that to love and be loved, you must be available. Now I know to be accepted and accepting, I must make myself available, too.

If you are afraid of your emotions, your thoughts, or your opening up to others, there’s only a few answers for that.

• One is to be bold.
• Another is to be brave.
• Another is to know it’s your time.
• And, finally, believe you deserve the best life has to offer.

Love yourself. Then you can love others. Give them the best YOU you can give
