independence from those
who regularly criticize, but fail to offer constructive
assistance.
"Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain ...
and
most fools do." — Dale Carnegie
FREEDOM
FROM ISOLATION
To experience the freedom that comes from the warmth and
companionship of sharing our innermost thoughts and feelings with another human being
... we must allow others to get close. "Today, I will get to know the
real me by first taking a personal
inventory, then I will practice being completely honest
with another person."
"Despair and isolation
are my greatest internal enemies; I need to remember
I am not alone, even when it feels that way."

Audre Lorde
FREEDOM
FROM COMPULSIONS
To some degree we are all compulsive — ver-working,
over-spending, over-worrying and over-consuming in a variety of forms.
We believe that the only solution is CONTROL, but in trying to control our compulsions,
they inevitably control us. SLOWING DOWN creates a space that
gives us increased sensitivity and time for more positive thought
and action.
"A person
is rich in proportion to the things
he or she can afford to let alone."
— Henry David
Thoreau
Declare
YOUR independence from old patterns, habits, 'shoulds' and relationships or addictions that have limited
you. Determine to live your life to the fullest — to
explore your potential
and live according to your own conscience and highest aspirations.

Do What You Can — Be Who You Are!
