Sometimes when you lose your way, you find YOURSELF.

Life isn’t meant to be lived perfectly…but merely to be LIVED. Boldly, wildly, beautifully, uncertainly, imperfectly, magically LIVED.

Even seasonal situations can bring with them lessons that last a lifetime. If the love doesn’t last, it prepares you for the one that will.

Dance. Smile. Giggle. Marvel. TRUST. HOPE. LOVE. WISH. BELIEVE. Most of all, enjoy every moment of the journey, and appreciate where you are at this moment instead of always focusing on how far you have to go.

Better to put your heart on the line, risk everything, and walk away with nothing than play it safe. Love is a lot of things, but safe isn’t one of them.

Sometimes it takes a wrong turn to get you to the right place.

Sometimes it takes a heartbreak to shake us awake & help us see we are worth so much more than we're settling for.

A busy, vibrant, goal-oriented woman is so much more attractive than a woman who waits around for a man to validate her existence.

Single is no longer a lack of options – but a choice. A choice to refuse to let your life be defined by your relationship status but to live every day Happily and let your Ever After work itself out.

Single is an opportunity to live life on your own terms and not apologize.

Two things you will never have to chase: True friends & true love.

Hope for love, pray for love, wish for love, dream for love…but don’t put your life on hold waiting for love.

Realize that if a door closed, it’s because what was behind it wasn’t meant for you.

It’s OKAY to be scared. Being scared means you’re about to do something really, really brave.

Be a bit of a challenge; not because you're playing games but because you realize you're worth the extra effort.

One of the best times for figuring out who you are & what you really want out of life? Right after a break-up.
