Do you need a little permission?
I know that you know that you certainly don't need ME to give you permission to do a single thing.
But sometimes, it's nice to hear - right?
Inspired by a few conversations I've had recently with myself, with clients, with friends, with family...
I WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT YOU HAVE:
+ Permission to sleep in.
+ Permission to eat chocolate for dinner.
+ Permission to quit your job.
+ Permission to spend a large sum of money on a pair of shoes that make you feel like the hottest, wildest, sexiest woman in the world.
+ Permission to get a divorce.
+ Permission to take a break.
+ Permission to feel the way that you feel.
+ Permission to shag on the first date.
+ Permission to swear online. Or offline for that matter.

We all know that you don't need to hear any of that from me.
But sometimes, a little reminder is welcome - yeah? At the very least, I hope this post gives you a glimmer of your worthiness, your wonder, and your power to choose and communicate your truth.

With love, gratitude, encouragement.
