Express Yourself

A recipe for healing and personal growth:

“Queen of the Dragonflies” by Kathie Briggs

Honor yourself.

Take of yourself.

Love yourself.

Don’t settle or tolerate mistreatment from anyone.

Ask for what you want.

If you don’t say what you want, then you’re not going to get it.

Put it out into the Universe.

If you don’t know what you want, go on a journey within.

Find your inner strength.

Speak to your inner child.

Tap into your passion, intuition, and wisdom.

Each one of us has a unique gift, strength and talent that longs for expression in the world.

Claim your power.

Do what you love.

And then share it with the world.

“Remember that you are

a human being with a soul

and the divine gift

of articulate speech”

–George Bernard Shaw
