Today was a perfect day to celebrate my man’s birthday in the San Bernardino Mountains.

Being Mindfully Transparent
I think it’s GREAT when we can be honest and transparent about how we are feeling in the moment. What’s not so great is when we don’t take into consideration the people we are affecting with how we express our feelings. It’s so powerful to be able to express how we feel, but we can’t go around emotionally vomiting on everyone. That’s not the way to get our point across. And it’s not the way to attract healthy relationships.
I've learned...
I’ve learned that it’s okay to be vulnerable with people; they won’t always reject us. By sharing who we are and our experiences, we can help someone and create new friendships.
When it feels scary to jump...JUMP
If we never take risks in life, we never know where we can go, and who we truly are. Staying in our comfort zone keeps us in the life we've always known. Stepping out, taking risks and pushing ourselves gives us a chance for something new. If we want something different, we have to do something different.
Rebuilding myself...
Years ago, I remember sitting in my living room feeling empty, bored, tired and depressed. It seemed like everybody around me was busy. It wasn't just that they were busy, but their lives seemed full. They were doing things that mattered to them. I, on the other hand, was just surviving.
I’m learning to love my triggers…
You are not too sensitive. You do not feel too much. You are strong for allowing yourself to feel so deeply.
The Battle In My Head.
When I’m triggered by someone or something, two voices pop into my head. One makes me feel like a victim. How dare they do that. Not this again. You must not be worth it. These voices stir up bitterness and resentment towards others and myself. I don’t like thinking these kind of thoughts and I do not like feeling this way.
Happiness IS a Choice
Sometimes this statement makes people angry. I totally get it too. I was there once, thinking that happiness wasn’t real. It was a fairytale and people who seemed happy must be faking it.
Life IS about balance.
When we approach each day with balance in mind, we will feel more energized and be able to accomplish what we want and need to. Don’t be fooled into thinking or feeling that doing more things will burn you out.
Personal Responsibility in Relationships
Personal responsibility in how we affect others requires a reflection of ourselves as well as an understanding of the other person. This takes a deep willingness to be vulnerable and a willingness to listen and be receptive to someone else’s vulnerability.

When they want a fight, do NOT give it to them.
When someone wants a fight, we can almost always guarantee that it doesn’t matter what we do, they will have their fight and it will be with whoever engages.
Love Quotes
“The love we seek is inside ourselves. When we project that love onto others, it comes back to us.”
-Leticia Rae
What is a Cleft Mommy?
The thing to remember is that no amount of guilt will change or help anything. So, it’s best just to accept, be grateful and then let it go. When I let go of the guilt and any other negative feelings I was having, it made room for strength and courage to deal with the obstacles that followed.
Follow Your Heart - Choose Love
We cannot avoid pain or fear in this life because we live in a world of duality where there is dark and light - fear and love.
Lessons from The Power of Your Subconscious Mind
In her room was a book her mother had purchased for her at a thrift store. It had been sitting there for quite some time. One day without thinking, she began to read it.
The Gift of Anxiety
Many view me as very well organized, clean and efficient.
They see this as a gift.
What they don’t know is that I am this way because I have to be.
Gratitude Quotes by Leticia Rae
“I believe that making gratitude a daily habit can change your life because you are focused on the good in your life that already exists. By doing this, you not only invite more blessings into your life by being open to them, but you let go of the fear that blocks.” -Leticia Rae
Appreciation Quotes by Leticia Rae
“Sometimes we need a little conflict to create awareness, but just remember to be respectful and view the other person with understanding and appreciation. Resolution is at the end of a loving process, not a fear based one.” -Leticia Rae
Forgive and Live in Peace
I choose to forgive. Why? Because in order for me to be the best parent I can be, I cannot let anything hold me back from being the best version of myself.
