Forgive yourself for all of IT.
Forgive everyone else for all of IT.
Be grateful IT happened
Be grateful for the learning
that came with IT
Now, let IT go.

We have the power to choose how we perceive our lives.
We can choose to look at life through the lens of kindness, compassion, love and forgiveness, believing that everything happens for a reason and grow through even the darkest of times.
Or
We can choose to look at life through a lens of fear, anger, hate, self-pity, jealousy and let the ego guide us to dark places that keep us stuck.
LIFE, it’s the biggest game we’ll ever play. And no matter what happens it’s the only game that allows us to DECIDE whether we’ve actually won or lost.
You have complete power to CHOOSE how you perceive your life.

May both lead you to beautiful and extraordinary adventures.

Do You Really Want Someone To Complete you?
Twice this week I had conversations with friends, 55+ both expressing the desire to find partners that would “complete” them.
“Why do you want to be complete? And, why do you think another person could possibly complete you,” were the thoughts that ran through my mind during these chats.
If we’re lucky, we’ll NEVER be complete. We will continue to be curious, to wander, to seek out new opportunities, to embrace new learning and ponder new wisdom, awe at new skylines and have experiences that help us grow, make us stronger and connect us to our higher self, but never complete. If we ever were, then what?
No matter what age you are, if you want to feel a sense of completion, try;
– Taking an art class then complete masterpiece-after-masterpiece.
– Complete a college program and put it to work.
– Complete a race and then a triathlon.
– Complete that screenplay then get out there and sell it.
– Complete a volunteer shift then sign up for the next one.
– Complete that project sitting in the garage.
– Complete promises you made.
– Complete skating, skiing, spanish, music or whatever lessons you want, then go out and play.
Now is the time of your life to complete all the things you wanted to do but never found the time.
I like the thought of knowing I can always be more, learn more, do more, give more, see more, grow more. Always evolving. We are meant to be forever “under construction,” and need to accept that everyone we meet is also under construction.
If you are seeking to share your life with someone, don’t put the expectation upon them that they will make you whole or complete you.
Seek out someone that will be beautifully incomplete right along side of you. Someone that supports you as you both find your way, maybe mess things up and then put them back together again.
Someone that supports your desire to be more than you are.
Someone that cheers you on, that you can laugh, love and wander through life with.
Someone that absolutely loves your imperfections, would never try to change you but rather looks forward to watching you grow.
Someone that sees you as beautifully incomplete and loves your incompleteness ~ completely.

The forest has taught me;
– There’s great peace when we are still.
– That light can find its way into the darkest of places.
– The forest is a refueling station for a tired soul.
– The answers I seek are inside me. Not merely in the words that stream through my mind, but in the feelings, the emotions and the wisdom that emerge when I’m silent and run from a busy world into the forest.
– In the forest, there’s balance, everything knows how to get along.
– The bark on a tree ages like our skin, the older it gets the deeper the lines and the more beautiful it becomes.
– I don’t need much to be happy, just a day in the forest.

Oh such beautiful adventures I wish for your splendid and loving heart. Yes, magnificent adventures that lift you up and make you shine so bright that the radiance of your glow lights your path and the path of those that may be lost.

Be grateful for the ones that show up and love you exactly as you are.
The ones that go along for the ride, just to make sure you’re safe.
The ones that shelter you from life’s storms and bring out the sun to celebrate your greatness moments.
The ones that know when you need time alone to just be.
They ones that are patient and understand you have to live your learning.
The ones that never ask you to change, in fact, they ask for almost nothing.
The ones you turn your back on from time-to-time and when you turn back around there they are, still standing in your corner.
The ones you call to talk to about anything and they listen without judgment even when you make no sense at all.
They might be a parent, a sister, a brother, a cousin, a lover or a loyal friend ~ you may not always be kind to them ~ you may not always say thank you for showing up ~ but there they are, always on your side.
Be grateful for these beautiful amazing ones, the ones that show up and love you ~ exactly as you are.

You’ve spent too much time searching for meaning, seeking purpose, trying to sort and figure yourself out, comparing yourself to others, worrying whether or not you’re good enough or if you’re on the right path.
My darling, you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be; which is here, living this life, in this place, with this tribe, on this journey, experiencing these lessons.
You’re perfect ~ you are good enough ~ you can stop searching ~ and just BE ~YOU❤️
