Today I'm at Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas, and it's a beautiful day.

The message I want to share with you today is to always do your best.

This is one of the four agreements author Don Miguel Ruiz talks about in his book, The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom.

I believe we are.

Sometimes kids are told that they're not living up to their potential. But are they really?

I think they're doing the best they can.

That's why we have to love our parents for what they give us (or maybe don't give us) because they are doing the best they can in that moment.

So, maybe you didn't get your English paper written on time, but were you trying your best?

I think we should always make a valiant effort. And we can also love others, trusting that they're making their valiant effort.

Something to think about. 

I hope you have an amazing day. 

My message for you today is to Stay in your Truth.

Our point is to love —  love others and love ourselves.

That is the whole point of being here.

Don't jump into fear. It does nothing.

Don't jump into worry. That does nothing.

All you can do is stay true to who you are, keep moving forward in love. . . 

and the world can be a greater place.

I'm kind of in shock today.

But I'm staying in love and I'm staying out of worry.

And I hope you are able to do that too.

If there is any way I can support you, please reach out to me. 

Today, I want to share a simple but powerful lesson about respecting others' opinions.

This lesson came to me during my time at Gallaudet University, the only four-year liberal arts university for deaf and hard-of-hearing students.

I was one of about 100 hearing students in the master’s program, but honestly, I didn’t feel very accepted at first. Most of the students had hearing loss, and this was a space where they felt understood and supported. To them, my presence as a hearing person felt like an intrusion.

I remember going to the campus laundromat one day and getting bawled out:

"You shouldn’t be here. This isn’t your university."

Ouch. It was condemning. I felt rejected and out of place.

But later, I realized something important. Their reaction wasn’t really about me — it was their own story. They had worked hard to be in a place where they felt safe and understood. I was intruding on their territory.

That experience taught me to respect their perspective. I didn’t need to take their reaction personally. Instead, I could choose to understand where they were coming from and love them for who they were and where they were in their journey.

So, if you find yourself on the receiving end of someone else’s story and it feels tough, try to love the person from where they are.

Recognize that their experience, their story, is different from yours, and that’s okay. We don’t have to agree with everyone, but we can choose to honor their journey and respect their opinion. In doing so, we create a more compassionate and understanding world.

Respecting others isn’t about agreeing with them — it’s about acknowledging their journey and choosing to respond with love and empathy.

I hope you have an amazing day!

Have you ever been in a situation that forces you to break the rules and tap into the deeper wisdom of your heart?

I found myself in one of those moments while interpreting a client's doctor visit.

As an interpreter, I’ve been trained to maintain a neutral, composed demeanor, no matter the situation.

But one day, I was interpreting for a man who had just been given devastating news: he was dying of cancer. 

The problem was that this man had been kept in the dark for so long. His family hadn’t allowed a sign language interpreter to his doctor visits, so this was the first time he was hearing the full extent of his condition.

The room was heavy as the doctor informed him that the chemotherapy was no longer working and that he needed to get his life in order because he only had a short time to live.

I did what I was supposed to do. I interpreted with a straight face, holding it together just like the doctor did.

But as I walked out of the room, tears welled up in my eyes, and the deaf man came up to me.

He thanked me for interpreting.

I started bawling and, without thinking twice, I gave him a hug.

I hugged him because he needed it. I hugged him because, in that moment, we were both lost from the emotional whirlwind that had just happened.

In that moment, compassion was more important than the rules around professionalism.

I didn’t keep my composure, and I hugged the client. I stepped out of my professional role.

Sometimes, we have to break the rules. We have to trust the wisdom of our hearts and do what feels right.

So, the next time you find yourself in a situation where the rules seem to clash with your heart, remember that compassion is always a good guide. Trust yourself to know when it’s the right time to step outside the lines so you can bring a little more light and love into the world.

I hope you have an amazing day!

Are you preventing yourself from being in a loving, positive relationships?

Watch the video attached to learn how to remove barriers that may be hindering you from living a life you love.

“Loving ourselves is receiving the love that is already around us. 

To love ourselves is to remove all barriers. 

We can learn to love ourselves by letting others love us AND by loving them.” 

- David Kessling

Have you placed any barriers around you that are holding you back?

Are you afraid to try something new because of a past experience?

Keep in mind that was your past. It is NOT your future.

Love yourself and let others love you instead of keeping those barriers up, so you can bring more and more love into your life.

If there is a destructive pattern in your relationships, recognize it and change the pattern, but don’t let those past relationships block you of a future with someone that loves and respects you.

My advice for you today…HAVE FUN!

Get out there and do something that you love.

 You could...

• Laugh until you can’t breathe.
• Go bowling.
• Dance in the park.
• Have a dance party in your living room.
• See a great movie.
• Call someone you love.

If you are feeling stressed, you have to change your state. Give it some different energy and focus your mind on something you would love.

Whatever it is, do something fun TODAY. Enjoy life! You are only given this moment once. You never know when it is going to end.

So enjoy today, embrace it, and turn it around to make it a good one!

Peace and blessings,
