The most sincere place of impact in my life happens when I am honest my self! Today, I choose honesty. I create loving relationships from a place of knowing who I really am. In this moment, I focus my attention on using my time and talents to create a world that supports a greater unfoldment of Life. Today, I align my inner higher Self with my day to day activities, blessing everything that requires me to change and grow. Today, I stand grounded in the power of my most authentic self.
