This is a little heavier than the lighthearted posts I share on Fridays. But, yes, going no-contact with my family really is the best thing I ever did. And when I did it, it was covered in stigma and shame. It’s good that family estrangement is being talked about more now, understood a little better. It’s not an easy decision to come to, but it can be life-changing and life-saving. xo

This is my mantra. It hangs behind me on my wall. I see it every day. I speak it every day. And, if you don't have a mantra of your own, borrow mine until you do.

A good mantra reminds us of who we are as well as who we are becoming. Because we are always evolving. That's the point of all of this.

Anger and fear got us here. More of that will keep us stuck. If we change our lives, we will change the world. You in? xo

I love that I will always have a little part of Dolly Parton in me. And this NOVID remains forever thankful. xo
