    My intention is to quiet myself and truly listen;
    To remain grounded and open;
    To live from my heart and from my authentic self;
    To work with my triggers and settle my “anger-turned-inward” by focusing on my humaness, the fact that I am not perfect, and by redirecting those thoughts to rest upon the depth of gratitude I hold for life, itself.
    In gratitude and in Love is where I will find freedom from self-hatred and self-defeating thoughts.
