Life can be hard.
Choose love. Choose laughter. Choose patience.
Learn from all of it, and live with gratitude.
Inner peace grows from a positive attitude.

Live in the present

For me, this is the hardest one. I had to experience loss after loss before I learned to live. So take the step you’ve wanted to take, communicate your feelings, and push aside fears. You have nothing to lose.

Love

Love is life-changing. Allow it to radiate from your soul through kindness, patience, and gratitude. Don’t expect anything in return. It will make this world, and your world, a better place.

Laugh

Sometimes it’s the little things that turn our day around. Laughing at ourselves and the situations we find ourselves in helps us to move through and move on.

Learn

Sharing stories, reading, traveling, having different experiences, and listening to others without judgment opens our minds to learning and understanding.

Have Faith

It’s been my experience that prayer and patience oftentimes can solve the toughest problems. When you let your prayers reflect the love and sincerity in your soul, you will find your answers.

Be Active

Simply put, use it or lose it. Find something physical that you enjoy doing and do it regularly. It could be bike riding, tennis, dancing, hiking, swimming, etc. It will help you as you age, giving you more energy and a clearer perspective.

To heal, you must discover your own grace
