This started my morning perfectly. May it encourage you, too! https://t.co/RpRppsYFSd

Today I get on my soapbox about the phrase "Happily Ever After." If you're waiting for something to happen to be happy, you could be waiting FOREVER. Why not choose to be happy NOW? (Not after.) It's all... https://t.co/FO0Iy4DIlc

Life can make you tough - or tender. It's really a choice. Do we wall ourselves up to protect against hurt? Or do we stay soft and vulnerable? With the passage of time, our perspectives shift and what used to... https://t.co/Xy0DkmievU

Since this page is all about inspiration, I wanted to share with you a link to a daily newsletter that I find really helpful. If you’re busy and if staying up-to-date with news is something that is important to you - and you want it in... https://t.co/4RjANdpZoS

I've always considered myself an OPEN person, but in recent weeks the winds of change have blown and instead of being open, I found myself trying to buck the current. (Boy, is that exhausting!) Our word... https://t.co/gVQdenTkSP

Old paradigms that don't serve you (or anyone else) are at the heart of this week's message. Why do we think that worry or guilt help ANYTHING? Our culture; upbringing, and life has taught us some faulty... https://t.co/4LywOv7fTk

No amount of serums, botox, foils, or Jimmy Choos can make you (or me) beautiful. And I love ALL of that stuff! But it's what's going on in our hearts and minds that creates true beauty. Today I encourage you... https://t.co/O2rHdaCKRm

Happy Valentines Day.

For so many years, this manufactured "holiday" hurt my heart. Well, I LET it hurt my heart.

Remember, I was a 39-year-old, never married woman who, with each passing year was convinced of my UNworthiness... https://t.co/HCWg9KYAOc

You just don't know until you KNOW. So give yourself a break; don't force it - and let time bring the clarity, perspective, and understanding you're seeking. It'll happen - eventually. And what a lovely new WOW... https://t.co/lvD2VwjaXU

Our past two weeks have been about humor, and I was thinking about how insecurity makes me (us?) touchy and less likely to laugh. So many of the juiciest lessons I've learned in the last year or so have been... https://t.co/n6ypc29cbe

You know when you think, "I've dealt with that. I'm OVER it!" and then it comes around and hits you on the head? Yep, that's what happened during our two weeks of SURRENDER. I hope my story touches a place in... https://t.co/43B4ULiC5S

I think some of you out there may not subscribe to my bi-monthly blog, which goes a little more in depth into what we talk about in our video WOWs.

Here is a sample from last week, and please sign up! It’ll be... https://t.co/5RlzSqvV4c

Oh happy day! We close out the year with thoughts about POWER and a beautiful new word (worthy of being a banner over our entire year.) I wish you the merriest of EVERYTHING and hope you'll say "Hi!" in the comments! https://t.co/Lv50VTzIO0

[BrendaViola @brendaviola722]

If we never made mistakes, we'd never learn fully how LOVED we are - UNCONDITIONALLY. If you (like me) ever fall into the performance trap, thinking (falsely) that your worthiness is based on "getting it all... https://t.co/i5ZgkQyuo0

[BrendaViola @brendaviola722]

Did you learn something? Then stop beating yourself up for past mistakes! Education isn't just about sitting in a classroom; life is teaching us every day. More on that and the new WOW - and please send me a "hello" in the comments! https://t.co/1rj4JR6hEg

We've been talking about RESILIENCE these last two weeks and today I reflect on some major life changes - both of which took place on 11/11. Be encouraged to KEEP GOING and take comfort that you could be one... https://t.co/6tu4SAgICR
