Written by contributing blogger, Daniela Forte. Loving yourself is a big part of finding love in general, but I have found that part of loving yourself is also surrounding yourself with love. I am not just talking about the people you surround yourself with, but in your home as well. One of the compliments I got when ...
Celebrate Yourself
Can you count how many weddings, bridal showers, baby showers, and engagement parties you've been to? I think there was a year when I had 6 weddings, and I know friends who have had upwards of 10 in a year. When you're in your 20s and 30s, it can't be helped. Friends are celebrating momentous ...
A moment of silence
With the holidays, there can be a lot of madness. Family cooking, celebrating, travel, and so much more. It's the time of year when it's not about you. It's about the ones we love and being a little more selfless. But, take a minute. Take a moment of silence. For you. We all need a moment to ...
The wrong shade of green
You see her, you can't help it. She's walking down the hall with her head held high, strolling through the masses with a energy and confidence that is just pure magnetism. You can't help but notice it. You can't help but want to be around her. She's the ones that makes every man or woman ...

Be the lead actress of your life
There's a line in the movie, The Holiday, "You're supposed to be the lead actress of your own life..." and it couldn't ring more true. There are some of us who sit on the sidelines and only focus on others. They think so much about what others want, and what they need, and constantly put ...
Technology Saved the Friendship
Most of the time I say, take a break from technology. Put down the phone. Put away the computer, and chill out and have a real conversation. Push out the noise, and have some old school bonding time. Make some cookies and drink wine while chatting about the latest things happening in your lives. A friendship ...
Forgiveness
There are a lot of shitty people in this world. It can't be denied. People who kick us when we're down, rub some extra dirt in the wounds, and sometimes worst of all, the ones who don't even know how poorly they treat others. They think it's normal. We can get angry. We can hate. We ...
Never alone
We sometimes wonder if we're alone in the life we live. If we are the only dealing with X burden or Y sorrow. We wonder if anyone else will understand the trials and tribulations we've been through. Here's her story... "She folded her hands Sat staring at the creases of moments passed The time no longer with her. She remembered ...
