In life, we're surrounded by opinions, mostly subjective and filled with bias. There's something refreshing and enlightening about an objective, nonjudgmental listening ear, especially in situations where our words and decisions carry great weight. In life, there are clinicians, therapists, and other professionals who focus on diagnoses. Because of this, one of the most powerful and helpful resources in life are true friends because friends listen, give objective opinions, and sometimes tell you the hard stuff you do not want to hear even though you need to hear it--but only when given permission, and I think that's called tough love. For the past five years, I've been searching for a way to give back to others. I have also found that true friendships are hard to come by. With social media and our changing society, friends are even rarer than ever. I'm here to help people solve their own problems and find their own solutions through compassion, seeing the best in others, showing respect, and ultimately, leading lives filled with balance, love and constant growth. If you or a loved one is looking for a friend, a listening ear who gives advice and opinion (in an honest yet respectful way) only when asked, shoot me a note. I'd love to hear from you.
