My heart aches for love not
shared, words not spoken and
chapters not written.
I have a hunger for places
I have not been and songs
that are yet to be sung.
My life is beautiful and good,
yet my soul yearns to be
with its common flame,
the one that both calms and
stirs me- the one that lifts me
to be my greatness self.
So, I will wander until my soul
stumbles into that safe haven
where I will feel settled and loved.
Maybe there I’ll realize
the one I seek, is me

I’m thankful for you❤️.
I am thankful for all the beautiful souls in my life.
The ones that lift me up, make me laugh, make me happy and bring me joy.
The ones that reaffirm the health benefits of chocolate or baileys in my coffee to eaze my guilt when I indulge 😊.
The ones that say,”yup it’s hurricane force winds out there and pissing rain ☔️ but I’ll walk around the lake with you, get soaken wet and maybe pneumonia so we can spend some time together.
The ones I share silly secrets with that make us giggle when we get together. The ones that share a history with me and no matter how much time goes by, when we reconnect it’s like no time has past at all.
The ones that have the courage to tell me what I need to hear, not what I want to hear.
The souls I have never met but still feel connected to through our likemindedness and a tether that connects our hearts 💕.
The ones that get my humour and I get theirs and we have fun being weirdos together(no matter how professional we have to be at our day jobs).
The ones that couldn’t care less about the gray hairs and wrinkles that are starting to show up.
The ones that show up in my life when I need them most, just because they “know” I need them in that place and time.
And, the ones that have shown up in the past couple of years since I originally wrote this, you are all a beautiful blessing in this crazy journey we call life.
So, to all the souls that make or have made, my life the amazing adventure that it is 😊~ I give thanks 🙏 to you this weekend.

You will rise❤️
I know you’re hurting.
I know you’re disappointed.
I know your heart is torn.
And,
I know you thought that this time, things would be different.
Remember this, you learn more during
life’s challenges than you learn in your moments of glory.
Each stabbing ache, each crushing disappointment, each heartbreak
and each painful fall from grace,
allows you to rise and take another step towards where your beautiful soul is supposed to be.
Trust in the Journey

Beautiful friend.
Stop worrying so much, about so little.
Don’t worry about the ones that left you behind, be grateful for those that are still by your side.
Don’t worry about promises not kept or plans that didn’t work out. They weren’t supposed to, they weren’t meant for you.
We’re all magical, messy, mixed up souls in progress.
If yesterday didn’t go exactly as you hoped, today the slate is clean, you get to start over.
So, my beautiful friend, stop worrying so much, about so little.
Everything is unfolding as it should.
Be gentle with yourself today and every day.

Write a life for yourself
that you would want to read.
Let the actions you take and words you write, reach places in the hearts of others that have never been touched.

Sometimes we fight so hard to hang on to;
❤️ Things that clutter our lives.
❤️ People not meant for us.
❤️ Beliefs, attitudes and behaviours that no longer serve us or bring us joy.
Let go, see where it takes you.
TO’K ~ 🌹❤️
We all dream of that perfect place
to call our own. A place where we can bask in both sunlight and moon beams.
It’s in this perfect, beautiful place
that we will realize we ARE
the light we seek.
Always, wishing you light.
TO’K~🌹❤️
One day I hope you arrive at a place where it all makes sense.
Where every heartache, every loss, every mis-adventure, the chaos, the confusion, the highs and the lows, are all understood.
A place where you can embrace your journey and realize each step was leading you to exactly where you are.
That you have an epic Ah-ha moment and say
“Wow, it all makes sense now.”
And because of this realization you are wiser, kinder, more compassionate, a little gentler on the world and that your heart is settled knowing your soul is finally at home.
That’s my hope for you.
TO’K ~ 🌹❤️
For centuries,
Not all, but some
of the most
beautiful words, music
colourful works of art,
poetic expression and
inspirational wisdom,
has been born through
deep sadness,
hollowing grief,
hearts shattered
into millions of pieces,
and lonely solitude.
Knowing how to take
this chaos and
turn it into something
beautiful and positive
is an art unto itself.
Are beautiful things lurking in the madness of your mind?
TO’K~🌹❤️
You fall.
You get back up.
You fall again.
You get back up again.
Then, you may realize that it’s the same “thing” pushing you down each time you fall.
That “thing” might be a person, a belief, fear, a pattern of behaviour, an expectation, depression, an addiction.
So, you either eliminate the “thing” that takes you down or you’ll keep falling.
If you can’t eliminate this thing on your own, there is always someone waiting to listen and help you up.
Life has this mysterious way of putting us in the same scenarios until we learn what we’re supposed to learn.
Listen to what the repetition in your life is trying to tell you.
And remember;
Each time we fall, we have an opportunity to rise.
TO’K ~ 🌹❤️
