Since turning 30 this month, I've decided a few things, one of which is that this next chapter of life is for me and my growth, my joy, my love of being alive. If you’re ready to wade a little deeper into the life that you’re craving, this affirmation might meet you perfectly: where you are.

Since you're here right now, as you are, why not try trusting the journey? You don’t have to stay here forever, and you won’t. Change is already in the works. And when you bring joy to *this* moment, it's easier to find it in the next. Read these quotes and embrace what's coming... with less stress, and more wonder.

Life doesn’t feel new and beautiful all the time. These poems about self-worth speak to that journey: it’s yours, after all. You’re here. That’s incredible enough. And that’s all the proof you need to start becoming the person you most want to be.

Trust me: I understand what it’s like to not know which direction is the right one, especially when there are so many directions calling your name. That’s why I wrote these affirmations to help you trust your journey, from one heart to another. Each one is a reminder that you ARE the journey, ultimately.

Read these adversity quotes to help you open your heart and mind to the gifts and opportunities granted only through hardship. I can personally attest to the beauty that's entered my life that may not have entered if it wasn't for the worst things that happened.

Personal growth isn’t called “work” for no reason. This is my casual letter to you, inviting you to let yourself be whatever you are before anything else. It’s not the easy way and it doesn’t always feel like a gift, but it’s a rewarding direction.

After finishing reading Anne Lamott’s Help, Thanks, Wow: The Three Essential Prayers it didn’t make sense not to share my favorite quotes about faith from the lovely little book (I love Anne’s little books; they’re all so lovely and bigger than they seem).

If it’s a change of pace you’re desperately craving, that’s a beautiful thing! Change is messy and can be disheartening at times, but it’s what we’re here to experience: EVERYthing. Here are some poems and notes to help you embrace what’s in the works.

Ever get stopped in your tracks by things that don’t fit into your neatly organized file called “How My Life Will Work Out”? Of course you do. We all do. Read these uncertainty quotes to remember: even if your plans go rogue, you can still be in awe of the miracle that is YOU and your life.

If you’re tired of waiting for something or someone else, and you’re ready for something new, right now is your time. How you live your life from this moment forward is up to you. I have a few words of encouragement to keep you moving. You’re not meant to stay stuck in one season forever, after all.
