Shared Lessons
Sometimes we find ourselves surrounded by people who have shared lessons with us. Meaning, they are here to learn about the same things we are.

Tied up Energy
Is your energy tied up in the past? Do you keep pouring your energy into an old story? Can you accept your new life? Can you appreciate what you have created for yourself? And release your old dreams? Well, if you can’t, you’re wasting a lot of energy. And sooner than later, you’re going to…
