You don’t need more words; you need more Truth.

Truth in a falsified, burdened world. Truth that earnestly looks back at you in the mirror, ever present, ever strong.

Let us approach each new day with vigor, positivity and an attitude of abundance. Within you dwell a million beautiful possibilities.

About the Author

Nina Yau has been writing since the age of five. With a penchant for adventure, she completed her first international flight alone at age six to Taiwan (Republic of China) with nothing more than a small duffel bag and a stuffed kitten in tow. After completing business school and well into a standard corporate life, Nina chose to leave the 9-to-5 lifestyle in order to live a life more suited to her spirit.

Nina helps others discover the Truth within all of us through teaching Yoga and with her introspective writings at her blog Castles in the Air. She currently lives and works in Chicago.
