Here’s What I Know…

You can’t always be on top of things and you can’t always direct your days.   You can’t always be perfect and creative and whatever else you think you need to be every day.

I also know that there are times you can’t force things to happen. You can’t make yourself meditate, or read a book, or be forgiving, or understanding.  Or, not put your foot in your mouth (sometimes). You can’t set a goal and decide how it has to turn out, because the universe may have other plans for you. Greater ones than you could have ever imagined.

I had other plans for today but I just couldn’t get into it… and so I’m resting in the energy that is showing up.  Simple.  Peaceful. Unhurried. I took photos in the store.  🙂  And by the way I didn’t edit any of the colors in these photos.  I love my camera.

So what I know is that life is not always perfect; things do not always go as planned. Sometimes plans get sidetracked and sometimes life is messy and that’s ok too.  But every day holds out endless possibilities and unlimited potential.  Every day has its own color and shape and energies and we can play in the sandbox or not.

And this I know for sure – I love my life with all its messiness and magic and I wouldn’t trade it for anything else in the world.

Unlock Your-Self & Step Into Your Amazing

Life is not so simple at times. It can be complex, laced with layers and layers to unravel and thick heavy steel walls to break down. I didn’t know until I was fifty – that there can be another way, that I can think a different way about me, about life and about God.  I didn’t know until that moment of revelation that life can be different and that I can have dreams and desires and wants and needs and they can become true.

I didn’t know that I had been hiding myself away, that I am more than what I knew of myself to be. That I’m free to step out of the – have to and should to, that were choking me. That I was living under the rules and regulations that belonged to someone else but were shaping every moment of my life, and if I wanted my life to be different I needed to let go of thoughts and beliefs that didn’t really belong to me. They were handed down to me like some legacy since birth and I just took them and adapted them and made them my own and had been living by their law ever since.

It was in that moment of revelation that I started my journey of unraveling, digging myself out and freeing myself bit by bit. Breaking down the walls I put around me is not always easy, at times I held on for dear life, even when I knew that I’ve outgrown the level of consciousness I was in and needed to move on.  Sometimes i didn’t know how, and sometimes I didn’t even recognize that I had a wall, it was such a deep part of me.

My journey is ongoing, I’m still unraveling and digging myself out to get to the core of who I really am, so I can stand fully in my power and shine my light out into the world.

So I’m here to tell you that YES YOU CAN DO IT.  That THIS IS YOUR YEAR, and this is your invitation.  LET YOUR-SELF OUT.  Walk with trust, faith, forgiveness, compassion, courage, meet fear head on, and bit by bit find who you are, because every time you do you’re reclaiming a part of yourself and you’ll find you’re – AMAZING.

If this resonates and you feel like it, come and share your thoughts in the comment section bellow.  Love to chat.

It’s All About Wreaths this Week

I started this holiday season with beautiful Poinsettias, here, and this week it’s all about wreaths.

How I love wreaths.  I feel like my soul is jumping up and down for joy as I hang my wreath on my door. For me it’s a symbol of welcome, blessings, unity, wholeness, and inclusion. It represents infinity since there is no beginning and no end.  It holds within it the unending circle of life, the sun and the moon. It also symbolizes hope and joy.

This is the one on my front door, welcoming all with joy and blessings.

Here are some photos I took in different stores, I love just looking at them.

Can you tell I love wreaths? I love the ones with red berries and the ones made with sparkle, and bows, and I love the evergreen symbolizing growth and life.

This holiday season is about opening our hearts to each other, releasing joy and love. It’s about welcome. It’s about blessings.  It’s about our precious gift – this life.

It’s a reminder that every single step of our inner journey is a pilgrimage. It’s a longing for unity with a power greater than ourselves.

So come and join me, lets continue this 2017 holiday celebration with joy and wonder.  Post your own pictures of a wreath, (one only please) that fills you with joy, here in the comments bellow, or join me at my face book page, here , and join in the fun.

Happy Holiday Blessings

Are You Queen In Your Life

Can you treat yourself like a queen for one day?

Can you put yourself first –

Love yourself unconditionally –

Accept your thighs, your every wrinkle, your not having a good hair day,

your pimples –

danielle laporte

Can you treat yourself like a queen for one day?

Give yourself permission to love you – no guilt –

Feed your mind, body, and soul with thoughts of acceptance – love – praise –

Have only thoughts that uplift you, encourage you, praise you, fill you with confidence –

Can you step outside your fears, leave them by the wayside for just one day, and see what happens? You can always pick them up and carry them with you if you want to.

blue modified

Can you treat yourself like a queen for one day?

Look at all you have accomplished with awe, stand tall, be proud – believe in yourself – give yourself a hug –

Can you forgive yourself?

Can you trust your heart?

Can you stand in courage?

Believe in magic?

Value yourself –

Feel your spirit dancing, singing –

Can you wash yourself with the sun?

Walk barefoot on the grass –

Breathe in the air –

Let the energy of the moon envelop you –

Can You…?

Can you be the queen in your life for just one day?

Let me know how this felt for you, are you the queen in your life, did you feel a shift within?  Leave a comment below, love to hear from you.

A Special Note…Just For You

This is a special note just for you.

Listen…are you believing that you are special?

Easter flower.jpeg

Are you believing that you are brilliant?

Are you believing that you are beautiful?

Are you believing that you are precious?

And even – MAGNIFICENT?

I mean really – really in your heart of hearts believe it?

Not just on the surface, not just because you read someplace that you’re suppose to?

But, really believe it with your whole being?

Remind yourself today and every day that you are

Special

Brilliant

Beautiful

Precious

How can you not be all that, and even more than you can know?

You are a bright shining star within a loving universe.

You’re made of love and exist inside love –

You are all love

Every breath you take is love

Every thing you set your eyes on…

Is love

Every touch is love

Every word is love

Every dark is love

Every light is love

Believe in your heart of hearts that you are – m a g n i f i c e n t l o v e!!!

Come and share what you believe yourself to be?  I’d love to hear from you.

Design Your Own Life Style

“The way you live your days is the way you live your life.” ~ Annie Dillard

Your life is a life style all your own, and you’re the only one designing and creating every single detail in the style that you decide.Tree shadow.jpegLarge

In the light..

You hold the power over all energies – bringing them to light – making them so.Leaf on ground.jpegYou have your own way of seeing things.  You have your own set of beliefs that you have acquired and are holding onto – that dominate, rule and regulate and shape the outcome of each of your thoughts.

Your’e the only one who can have the final say so, you’re the final decision maker.  Even when you think you don’t have a choice, you do, you’re the one making the choice of no choice.  You’re the one holding the magic key to your life and consciously or unconsciously, whether you want to admit it or not, you’re the one creating every single moment.3 cactus.jpegYou have the responsibility for your life and you can either accept that you are the mover and the shaker of your own journey, or you can hide away and just let life pass you by because with or without you – life will pass – life will change – life will move – life doesn’t wait – life is creating it doesn’t stand still.

You’re a miracle and you have the power to reinvent and change the course of your life,  to reach for the stars – to re-design – re-shape – re-structure – to change what you don’t like.

Step into your life, sprinkle some magic and design your own unique life style.

Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below, I’d love to chat.
