At some point in the past 20 years, I realized I have things that I repeated to people often.... and my twelve words of wisdom was born. At the time I did not really have 12 things I said on a regular basis. 12 is a good Biblical number so I did not really care if I had 12 or not. When I started this website and wanted to put them on here, I realized I actually needed 12. My working list is below and is subject to change.
- Avoid negative Self Talk
- Daily self care is important
- Every person is broken
- All families are dysfunctional
- Say what you mean, mean what you say, don't say it mean
- God believes in you (even if you don't believe in God)
- Love is a choice not a feeling
- You cannot live your life in fear
- Avoid "shoulds" and "shouldn'ts"
- God is too big for our little boxes
- Dream Big!
- "The one" is a myth
