steps credit done
There are a lot of women who feel that they have done all the work in their relationship only for someone else to step in and take the love and credit for it.
thinking feelings singing
I will just think, why am I singing? Then I will know everything I need to know about what I'm feeling.
beautiful kindness fall
That is what thrills me, personally. Small acts of kindness; thoughtful, large acts of kindness. I feel like we're in a bit of a precipice, and I think that any beautiful energy on the kindness continuum will just help us fall into a lovelier place.
kindness generosity helping
From the fear and constriction that's sort of always pulling us back and keeping us in old modalities, I feel like any expansive act of kindness, thoughtfulness, and generosity, helps tip the scale toward a more conscious, liberated existence for everyone.
I have to meditate before I go to bed, always. I have to let the day go and let the eternal in.
stronger
The more I resist anything, the stronger it gets.
pain joy welcome
I have to welcome the pain like I welcome the joy.
pain trying
The pain is always bringing me a lesson. If I listen to the lesson when the pain is manageable, the pain won't get gargantuan and flatten me entirely, because I will have received the message at the center. I receive it as gently as I can, because the cruelest thing that I do to myself is try to push myself through an experience.
forever missing singing
I miss singing. I did Broadway forever.
need-love deserve
There's a lot of life on the planet that needs love, wants love, deserves love, in whatever capacity we are able.
tape degrees moments
I used to be so hard on myself. So hard on myself. Just my own worst critic to the nth degree. Absolutely undermining my confidence in every moment. Bad tape in my head all the time.
thinking empowering looks
I think you choose how you walk through this life. I think if you choose to participate in a paradigm that is looks-based, if you're an actor, then it can be empowering in some ways, and it can be really limiting in some ways in terms of time and longevity.
hurt pain love-yourself
You gotta love yourself, because when you're hurting - you never know who's gonna be around to do the lovin' for ya. You gotta love yourself through the pain.
grateful thinking true-beauty
I think true beauty is everywhere. Be it. See it. Notice it. Love it. Be grateful for it. Marvel at it. It's everywhere. It's all around us all the time.
