  Lavender Life Laws


 

    Lavender Life Law #1
As Thrivers, you do not need to be perfect to achieve healing, happiness and self-actualization, nor should you allow anyone, especially yourself, to hold your self-image contingent to those unrealistic expectations.

Telling your story through your arts and talents is not only an excellent healing tool but survivors have propelled their careers into huge success bringing our rich history of thriving to music, television, theater, books and movies.

Insanity is doing things the same way, expecting different results.

You’ll never find it until you define it, including happiness.

It’s better to be single the rest of your life, than to hook up with another abuser.
