“… You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed. You are responsible for your rose …”

“I am responsible for my rose,” the little prince repeated, so that he would be sure to remember.”

5 and 1/2 years being brave every day.

Morning Mantra: “Be brave enough to suck at something new.”

Each new year I set myself up for failure. For embarrassment. For defeat. Each year I try something new. Something I’ve never done before. But I am willing to pay the price of learning to gain a new skill or experience.

Every expert was once a beginner and if they never tried because they were afraid they would fail, well, we would have no one to learn from! No one would have ever created beautiful masterpieces. No one would have invented life-saving techniques. No one would have added that special ingredient to new recipes. No one would have had the opportunity to learn from their mistakes.

Life is ABOUT taking chances, trying new things, learning. It’s okay to try and to suck at it. The real mistake is to never try anything new for fear of it.

Morning Mantra: “The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.”

Once you believe that you are worthy of a deep, profound love, you will open yourself up to receive it. Being open and vulnerable is scary but without it, true intimacy is not possible.
And when you learn about this love try to nurture it, which is difficult in our modern world. Look into more eyes than into screens. Read more books about relationships than status updates about someone's drama. Hold more hands than devices. Spend more time with actual people you love than with strangers on TV.

Somewhere at the edge of a Bay Laurel forest, I discovered two gingerbread donkeys atop a magical cottage … all aglow. The sign said “Santa’s workshop”, but when I knocked at the door, no one answered….

Wishing you the greatest joys of Advent and Christmas! ❤️
