I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, made my wish, then set it free.
It soared past galaxies, riding stardust and rivers of light across the universe.
One day it returned.
Fulfilled.
So will yours, but first, you have to set it free~ then trust and believe.

“Believe you can,
and you’re halfway there”
~ Theodore Roosevelt
…in the rays of
sunlight that kiss
your body and caress
your soul. Get lost
in the shimmer of
moonbeams dancing
on the ocean and
in the twinkle of stars
guiding you home.
Let the light take
you to beautiful and
magnificent places.
Even in darkness, you
my dear, are meant to shine.
Especially in darkness,
you, and I are meant to shine.
TO’K ~🌹❤️
Your life ~ your adventure.
Don’t let anyone, anything,
or any thought spoil the view.
Today and every day, choose happiness.
No matter how much you hurt, choose to believe that everything is gonna’ be alright☀️.
And on that note 🎶 I wish you a happy, happy, happy, beautiful Day

That thing you’re NOT dealing with.
If you don’t do something, it will continue to hurt you and you’ll remain stuck.
The only way to get away from it,
is to deal with it. Make a move.
If you don’t, whats the alternative?

If you could talk to your younger self, what advice would you give her/him?
Really? What would you say?
My advice to little Toni might be;
– You have a gift, find it then use it to make the world a better place.
– Be kind. Be grateful.
– Anger is a waste of time, energy and a peaceful mind.
– Boys are fun, but you deserve to be somebody’s first choice.
– You don’t like oysters, so don’t even go there.
– The secret to happiness is that there is no secret, happiness is a choice,
– Express your feelings; say I love you, say you’re sorry.
– Live up to your own expectations, not the expectations others have of you.
– Don’t be afraid to speak or write your truth.
– Forgive yourself when you make mistakes.
– Forgive others when they make mistakes.
– Listen to your soul, that’s the voice that is curious, hopeful and seeking purpose and meaning.
– Turn down the volume on the voice of your ego, that’s the voice that worries about what others think, that judges, is materialistic, its the voice that will get you into trouble.
– Take care of your mind, your body and your spirit, because you’ve got a lot of ground to cover, the journey will be so much better if you “stay well”.
– Lemon gin is bad (very bad).
– You’ve got a bit of a gypsy soul, embrace it.
– You are allowed to love and be proud of yourself.
– When you’re lucky enough to be a Mom, spend lots of time with your children, holding them, playing with them, letting them know they are loved.
– Nurture your relationships with family and friends.
– Take care of the planet and the other living creatures on it.
– Take care of those that can’t take care of themselves.
– All those vinyl records you’re going to amass in your teens, hang on to them.
– If it doesn’t feel right, DON’T do it.
– Go see the world.
– Just chill, its all going to go by so fast so enjoy the ride.
– Your parents are so much more amazing than you might give them credit for. Listen to them. Appreciate them while they’re here.
– Don’t give up on jello, eventually you’ll get it right.
– Go outside and play often, even in the rain, especially in the rain ❤️
No matter how old you are today, you’ll be older tomorrow. So my darling, its never too late, to take your own advice.

My ramblings are often born from feelings I get about what the people in my life might be going through.
I may not have seen you for weeks, months or years, yet, sometimes, there is just a sense of “knowing.”
If you think the little piece below is for you, then, it is.
Wishing you settlement and a peaceful heart🙏💕

Dying to shine
~ a message from your soul
There is a heaviness weighing
us down and hiding “our” light.
This heaviness is dark and
has been stitched together with doubt, fear, regret, self-sabotage, guilt and self-judgement.
Its time to release us from the burden of this darkness.
Lay it down and leave it behind.
Open your heart to me, to healing, to peace, self-love, joy and let’s create light, because, I’m dying to shine.
Love ~ Your Soul ❤️
TO’K ~ 🌹❤️
“I’ll walk beside you without judgment
and offer you unconditional love and support.
You are not alone on this journey.”
~ Every once and awhile
we just need someone
to utter these words
to our tired soul.
Be that someone
to somebody.
TO’K~ 🌹❤️
Hello sweet soul.
This is death calling.
You and I, we will have lots of time together.
But, this one beautiful life you’ve been given, it’s time to live it.
Those stories you’ve been telling yourself, about yourself;
“I’m a victim”,
“I’m not good enough,”
“I’m emotionally unavailable,”
“I’ll sabotage myself,”
“I’m broken”,
“I’ve got lots of time”
“I’m too sick,”
“It’s their fault,”
“They’ll change’
“I can’t,”
Stop it.
It’s time to write a new story, one that allows you to see the learning in everything that has hurt you and re enforces that;
~ You can
~ You are not a victim,
~ You are good enough,
~ You are worthy,
~ You will not sabotage yourself,
~ You are not broken,
~ You are well, strong and able,
~ The things that hurt you, are in the past, it’s time to heal.
It’s time to;
~ stop making excuses.
~ stop blaming other people.
~ stop worrying about what others think, or do, or how they live their lives.
It’s time to say I’m sorry, I love you, or whatever it is you’ve been struggling to say. If you broke it, it’s time to fix it or, ask for help so you can fix it.
It’s time;
~ to forgive.
~ to take care of you.
~ to be grateful for all that is good in your life
~ to release yourself from the burden of fears, toxic relationships, addictions, the past and the worries that cause you pain, because they do not serve you. If you need help to do this, reach out.
It’s time to use the gifts you were given to live your best life.
It’s time to be kind, compassionate and gentle with yourself.
I’ll see you soon enough sweet soul, until then, it’s time, it’s just time.
TO’K ~ 🌹❤️
The universe is sending you gifts this beautiful Autumn weekend.
I promise, if you look, you will find them.
They will arrive on the waves that gently land onto sandy shores or crash harshly onto rocky cliffs.
They will be riding in on sunbeams that illuminate raindrops and make everything glisten after a storm.
You will find them in the forest amongst multi-coloured leaves, tall trees and the distinct earthy smell that rises after the rain finds its way to the forest floor.
Your gift may fly in on the wind as it distorts clouds, rustles trees and kisses your cheeks as it blows the world around.
You might find your gift in the kindness of a stranger that says hello and smiles as you pass each other on the street or, it might be in the laughter and excitement of children playing tag, carving pumpkins or using umbrellas as sceptres and swords.
Perhaps your gift will be a few unexpected happy moments when you bump into an old friend, or receive an invitation to share a meal with family.
Your gift might even be in the quiet that comes when you claim some time alone to be with your thoughts, a good book and a cozy pair of socks.
No matter how you are feeling as you go into the weekend ahead, there are gifts waiting for you to find them. You can choose to look away towards the mundane or, you can choose to see the million tiny miracles that have been sent just for you, not just today or tomorrow but every ~ single ~ day.
TO’K ~ 🌹❤️
Not everyone will understand this.
Those that need it, will❤️
——————————-
Every once and awhile,
I let myself break open,
I let my vulnerabilities flow,
I let my light shine on the
beautiful mess that I am.
When you understand me,
YOU unlock YOUR pain
using the key to mine,
YOUR light breaks through,
YOUR vulnerabilities flow,
The world finally sees YOU
as YOU are,
And, we can be a beautiful
chaotic mess together.
This is Freedom
This is Peace
This is Healing
This Human ~
TO’K~ 🌹❤️
