I come from a slightly untypical family life. I am the oldest sister of a brother with Williams Syndrome.

My younger brother's name is Jason but we all call him, “Jay".

Forgiveness is the big kahuna of self-love because you stop making it matter that you've been hurt in some way. What I mean by that is, you settle into a place within you where the pain of disappointment loses its grip on you.

Forgiveness starts with me.

Forgiveness allows you to experience the depth of your capacity to love.

When we cultivate our natural ability of forgiveness, we build a foundation of tolerance, compassion, empathy and unconditional love. Collectively, we create a culture where there’s full permission to fail, make mistakes and fall...over and over again.

It’s the start of a new year.

How can this year be different from last year?

We start to think about resolutions.

Then we think…why bother?

It never sticks.

What if it could be more simple?

Last year my life changed.

My marriage of over 15 years had just ended and I was starting over.

I was heartbroken and devastated.

I was lost.

Your basic needs are met.

You have money in the bank.

You feel a sense of safety and stability in your life.

You cherish your loved ones who adore you back.

You are rewarded for your accomplishments both personally and professionally.

You are good.
