The ones~

by The Whimsey Angel, posted in Life Journey, Toni O’KEEFFE

Never forget the ones;
who didn’t have to be there,
but were.

The ones who
didn’t have to care,
but did.

The ones who
had nothing to gain,
but stepped up for you anyway.

The ones who
stood beside you when
no one else would.

The ones who
helped you find the words
you needed to speak and offered encouragement so you could speak them.

We all have earth angels who have shown up for us. Keep them close. Be mindful of their importance in your life and, grateful they choose to walk beside you, even if it was only for a little while.

Your Journey ~Your Life ~ Get comfortable with it~

by The Whimsey Angel, posted in Life Journey, Toni O’KEEFFE

Your journey, your life.
No one will ever know,
or walk your path
better than you.

If you’re living, dressing,
believing, or acting
a certain way to
please others,
you’ll constantly be
uncomfortable.

You’ve got to dress
for the life you’re living,
not the life others
want you to live.

The most uncomfortable,
yet necessary thing,
you might ever do,
is learn how to be
comfortable being you.

Sanctuary~

by The Whimsey Angel, posted in healing, Life Journey, Toni O’KEEFFE

When the darkness of unsettled days blocks your light, there’s always a sanctuary of infinite beauty waiting to embrace you and lift your spirit.

Go to the waters edge, breathe slowly and inhale the sweet, softness of the ocean and exhale the weight of the burdens you carry.

Find a mossy, tree lined forest path to lead you away from your busy days, far from whatever’s troubling you.

Retreat to a rocky bluff and let the setting sun melt your pain and relax your worries.

Gaze into the moonlight, allow its glow to warm you and hold your dreams until you’re ready to chase them again.

Before you return to the reality of your world, take a gratitude moment to relish in your own beauty and give thanks for the true miracle you are. Let go of all toxic ideas and reclaim the grace of everything beautiful that’s waiting for you.

No matter what’s blocking your path or causing you pain, nature provides the music, the colour, the awe, the sweet perfume of life and the quiet peaceful sanctuary to help you heal❤️

Let’s accept each other as the beautiful beings we are ~

It’s easy to be in awe of the beauty in nature. Multiple shades of green draped over a forest.
The way bold colours melt together to create a sunrise or sunset. The twinkle of stars, the fragrance of different flowers painted in every colour imaginable. The beauty of ocean waves rolling in and out leaving beautiful polished stones and shells behind. Tall grass dancing with the wind, song birds singing, clouds creating illusions in the sky. We appreciate and love all of it.

What if we looked at each other the same way, in awe of how beautiful, brilliant, colourful, twinkly and different we all are?

If we accepted one another no matter how we looked, sang, danced, rocked or rolled, wow this would be one happy peaceful, planet of twinkly, bright, dancing souls. 🌟

Stop, rest and reflect ~

by The Whimsey Angel, posted in Life Journey, Planet Earth, Toni O’KEEFFE

You’re allowed to stop, to rest, to reflect,
and catch your breath. To find your sanctuary amongst the trees, upon the water, under the stars, in a field of wild flowers or on a mountain top.

Somewhere tranquil, uncluttered, and away from the noise, where you can surrender to the sound of your soul whispering all she wants you to know.

You’re allowed to step away from everything that ails you and everyone that demands something from you. You don’t have to explain why, you may not even know why.

Give yourself permission to take a break from all of it and drown yourself in peace.
It’s in this peacefulness that our breath softens, our bodies relax, our noisy minds exhale and the answers we’re looking for come.

Wishing you a peaceful week ❤️

This is home~

by The Whimsey Angel, posted in earth, mother nature, planet, poplution, pandemic, population, Life Journey, Planet Earth, Toni O’KEEFFE

This is home.
When we step into nature, we’re stepping over the threshold of our original home. The place we go to play, to grow, to heal, to feel loved, to rest and reboot the mind, body and soul.

So go home. Allow Mother Nature to feed your entire being. She will welcome you in, offer you sanctuary and never ask you to leave.

She will not judge or ask you why you came. She will calm you, allow you to catch your breath and, provide the air you breathe. She will ask for nothing in return.

Allow her to wrap you in the familiar comfort of her embrace and remember who you really are. It’s here, in our original home, that we experience our authentic humanness.

Oh, and while you’re there pick up after yourself.

Go outside and play~

by The Whimsey Angel, posted in healing, Life Journey, nature, Planet Earth, play, Reflection

Put that stuff down.
You’ve done enough adulting today.
Time to go outside and play.

We function better when we create the time to play outside. Outdoor play is good for our mental well-being, our physical well-being, in particular, our lungs, our hearts and our muscles. Outdoor play also does wonders for our spiritual selves, our relationships and our working environment.

So go outside and play, its oh so good for you🤗.

Love Toni ☀️🌹❤️

Let’s create more happy moments for each other~

by The Whimsey Angel, posted in happiness, Life Journey, relationships

Let’s create more happy, authentic and magical moments for each other. Moments staring into the sky marvelling at the vastness before us and believing anything is possible.

Moments making art, making music, making friends, laughing, running through sprinklers and riding on handle bars.

More moments dipping our toes in the sand, playing in the waves, gazing at rainbows, taking in the sunrise and sunset, sitting around campfires, under starry nights or stormy skies with the ones we love.

More moments tickling our senses, feeling grateful and allowing ourselves to be fully alive as we inhale the sights, the sounds and the lushness of the natural world, aka the real world, and exhale the noise, the clutter, the busyness, the demands of our messy (kinda’ weird) modern society.
