Stop 🛑

STOP 🛑

For a few moments, or days, or weeks, surrender to WHAT IS and just STOP.

Stop over analyzing every aspect of your life.

Stop asking why.

Stop trying to figure out who you’re supposed to be.

Stop being who you’re NOT.

Stop worrying about what other people think.

Stop and set yourself free from the expectations of others.

Stop worrying about time.

Stop looking for love and just love yourself.

Stop judging yourself.

Stop judging others.

Stop and ground yourself. Touch the earth. Let your mind settle and your spirit rest. Shhhhhh.

Stop – Surrender.

Let it all go and Just Be

Create the space for light

If there’s too many trees in the forest, none of them can grow to their full potential. They block the light from one another and nothing new can take root.

Life is like that.

When we’re surrounded by too much

stuff, negativity or busyness, we can’t see or feel the light that’s trying to find its way to us.

Its okay to let go of people, things,

attitudes and beliefs that no longer support your life. This includes letting go of any negative beliefs you have about yourself, your potential and your worthiness.

When we remove the heaviness

that no longer belongs, sometimes

we find that the things and people we’ve been searching for were always there, they were merely hidden behind what had to leave.

Create the “space between the trees” so light can shine in, and your beautiful light can shine out🌟.

I love myself

The person you’ve been looking for your entire life, the one that will love and cherish you, will care for you in sickness and in health, does not judge you, will love you through the good times and the bad, the person that believes you are worthy of love and capable of greatness, that person, that beautiful, gorgeous person, is looking back at you every single day from the mirror. Take care of this person before all others. That’s the voice that matters.
We believe the things we tell ourselves, so tell yourself about your beautiful and loving heart, your kind and compassionate spirit, your forgiving nature and your brilliant mind, and, eventually, you’ll believe it.3438BED6-BDA4-4F10-8218-7831A3464B1D
Be kind to yourself.

I feel you hurting ~ 🌹❤️

Never apologize or hide when the heaviness of life bears down upon you. You don’t have to be strong, you can release your anguish upon the world ~ there is always someone that will listen.

The agony brought on by sadness, grief, betrayal, heartache, physical pain and defeat can lead us to dark places.

What I know about ALL the bad days I have ever had, they all came to an end, so will yours.

On the days that you can’t find the light in your life, stop struggling and let your pain flow through you.

Be kind to yourself, reach out to those that love you and remind yourself that you have gotten through days like this before.

If you can’t find the light, create the light;

– putter in the garden and remind yourself that beautiful things grow from the dirt and the dark.

– journal and leave your pain on the page.

– connect with nature; walk through a forest, dip your toes in the ocean and bury your feet in the sand

– light a candle, soak in the tub and listen to your favourite tunes while sipping on a glass of wine

– meditate

– make music, make art, make cake😋

– stare up at the stars, breath and remind yourself that all pain comes to an end.

– If someone has hurt you or rejected you, remember their actions HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU, and everything to do with who THEY are.

– do whatever you have to do to brighten your glow.

And, if you need a hand to hold while you find your way back, I offer mine.

You are not alone.~ You REALLY are not alone.

You are a beautiful miracle, your pain is not an accident, it is an uncomfortable part of this human journey that will lead you to beautiful places.

Wishing you healing and light💛

Your soul knows what to do.

Your soul knows what to do. The challenge is trying to get your head and heart to be quiet and listen.

So, this is what you do. Close your eyes.

Visualize your heart, head and soul coming together for a gathering on a soft yellow blanket in the middle of a field of daisies under a sunny blue sky ( there might even be sandwiches😊)

They are sitting in lotus position facing each other.

Soul smiles, gracefully raises her arms – begins to chant “ohm” – and then knuckle punches heart and head in the face and utters;

“Shut- the- fuck – up”

Then, visualize YOURSELF walking into the scene and ask soul what she needs YOU to know.

Then, listen.

What does she say?

Climb the damn mountain

41DD39FB-FBB9-472E-8972-0AA95A91FC6E.jpegYour fear of getting hurt makes it easy to play with people and things that are safe and familiar.

If you really want to live, to feel fully alive, choose the people and experiences that will take you to unexpected places.

The things that make you feel uncomfortable – the things you fear- these are the things that are calling you to live. The worst that can happen is, you’ll feel something.
The purpose of YOUR life, IS YOUR life.
So go climb that damn mountain!

THE TRAVELER

F37B4DA3-5B82-4BA4-9199-CF7B2D5246EF.jpegThe traveler wanders alone.
Quietly observing and moving between crowds, villages, empty spaces and long roads that lead to self discovery.
The journey would not be the same if shared.
He must wander alone, to sort himself out, to think, to heal, to miss the ones he loves.
He may not sort himself out and he may not heal, but he will miss someone or something along the way and that will pull him home for barely a whisper.
He will leave me kisses on the wind, and then, quietly fade away; leaving only the essence of his soul behind.

For Ryan as he continues his adventure across the universe 💕
