And the single most important connection I have in the world is the connection I have with myself. God loves me. I love me. I love others like I love me.

Leverage that! Your discernment and your intuition is so strong and I know that you know that, which is why you’re so ambivalent about what you want to do.”

I am God in action. And when I choose joy, I choose love. When I choose joy, I choose hope for my present and my future.
