“The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.” ~Eleanor Roosevelt For some of us, like me, the question, “What is my purpose?” creates a ton of anxiety and a feeling that our self-worth is being undermined.

“If you want to fly, you have to give up the things that weigh you down.” ~Toni Morrison Our very first relationship is the one we develop with ourselves.
