When you start out and offer yourself to the universe, keep your mind open to all feedback, and try (although it’s hard) to receive all feedback with gratitude. Even the negative feedback, even the critical feedback. Sometimes we hold onto what we want so much and it’s hard to let go, but once you let go you can make space for newer and better possibilities.

Always search for the open window when it seems like the doors are shut.
Trust me, always double and triple check emails before you send them. Everybody sometimes is guilty of letting a typo slip up here and there, so forgive yourself if it happens. However, best to make sure you read everything over before you hit send. Also, if you are in part of the world experiencing the heat wave, I hope you have a shady spot to chill out.

Everyone makes mistakes and that is ok.
How do you like to beat the heat? I like to find some shade and a cool drink. It’s a great day for a refreshing salad and some delicious gelato.

Rejection is just another step towards success. It may hurt in the moment, but if you keep moving you’ll eventually get there.

Everyone experiences, no one likes it, but it is a necessary part of the journey.
Take some time to reflect back on all that you have accomplished. Whatever your journey, or your intended destination, there is no doubt that you have achieved a lot along the way. Be proud of yourself – you deserve it.

No victory is trivial, and every accomplishment should be celebrated! Well done!
Brace yourselves, northern hemisphere readers, the planet is about to ascend to the hottest temperatures so far this year next week, especially in Europe and North America. Stay hydrated and keep check of your loved ones. 
Putting yourself out there is really hard, and sometimes when you are looking for the right path you end up trying out a lot of different things and sometimes you find success but other times you don’t. It may be painful in the moment, but in the end it’s just part of the journey. Stay the course and you will get there, the road to success is never easy or straightforward.

Don’t dwell on rejections, just keep pressing on.
There are those people in your live who have the uncanny knack to always pick up right where you left off as though the time you spent apart never happened. I miss a lot of my friends, especially my best friend of over twenty years. Luckily, when I meet up with her, it’s like no time at all has passed. She’s an amazing, brilliant lady. I hope she has a fantastic birthday.

Friends forever through all of life’s ups and downs
