“I want to acknowledge that sometimes, listening to me doesn't make you popular. Once the whispers of my voice become rebel yells, it becomes impossible to ignore me, and you'll find that, at some point, you simply won't be able to silence me anymore. This is good news. Be very, very reassured by this. This is the time when magical unfoldings blossom. But it's also the time some people in your life get royally pissed because you're following your inner voice and not listening to theirs. Don't worry. They'll come around. And if they don't, they're not meant to be guiding forces in your life. Just keep your heart open. Forgive readily. And never, ever stop listening to me. Always trustworthy, Your Inner Pilot Light ”

My dear,
Your eyes matter. Only you can see things the way you do, and when you share what you see, you open the eyes of others.
Your voice matters. The world needs to hear it, even if what you say stirs things up (especially then!)
Your touch matters. No one can express tenderness quite the way you do.
So please, darling - see with new eyes, speak your truth, and don’t be afraid to reach out and touch someone. When you do, you heal the world, as only you can.
In awe of your healing gifts,
Your Inner Pilot Light

Darling,
You gave. And you gave. And you gave some more.
And while that may feel noble to you, I hope you realize the consequences of what you’ve done.
When you do that, I wind up a feeble, exhausted little pilot light yearning for air and fuel.
I think a little radical self-care is in order.
This time, will you give to me?
Ready to receive,
Your Inner Pilot Light

The Guilty Woman's Guide to Claiming Her Worth | Owning Pink
owningpink.comIf you’re like me, it can be hard to find opportunities to merge your “ideal” schedule with the one that life tries to hand you without your input or permission.
As you go through your day, the challenge is to make sure that your own dreams and goals are just as high up on the list as your other priorities, like family, friends and work. And it really is a challenge. But finding the balance is so worth the effort.
How To Say No | Owning Pink
owningpink.comSaying “no” is actually saying “yes”- to YOU. By saying no - to relationships that no longer serve us, to professional opportunities that don’t feed our soul, to volunteer experiences that suck the life out of us, to family obligations we just don’t want to meet - we’re saying yes to our pleasure, our desires, and our dreams. We’re setting boundaries so there’s room for more of what we DO want in our lives. But it’s tricky, because some people don’t listen when we say no. They assume we mean “not now.” Or they figure we just need to be persuaded. Or, especially when it comes to sex, they may think “no” actually means “yes,” when it just doesn’t. So how do we say no - PERIOD?
