Our eyes have caused us to go blind.
They see only what’s on the surface, what’s been wrapped in trappings and made up to capture our attention.
It’s when we look at someone or something first through the window of our heart and then our soul that we see truth.
The most beautiful things are seen and felt when we close our eyes.

Many snowflakes, each one different, bring quiet, stillness and beauty to a noisy world.
Many raindrops tapping together in unison, lull us into peaceful slumber.
Many flowers blooming, their delicate petals and sturdy stems bending gently with the wind become a work of art.
Many trees standing together shape the forest And provide a tranquil retreat for creatures, big and small.
Many birds gliding across the sky in a uniform dance, create hypnotic shapes and movement that cause us to stop, exhale and watch in awe.
Many rivers and streams, flowing in the same direction, create the oceans that give us and our planet life.
Many colours arched in a brilliant shimmer form the rainbow that takes our breath away.
Many twinkling stars scattered across the sky become a canvas of light that guide us home.
Nature has no boarders, no artificial walls, it knows that amazing things are born when we shine together.

I believe in magic.
I really do.
Each of us is born with a gift that is
meant to be shared.
Your gift might be creating music, poetry, art, laughter, dance,
healing, hope or joy.
Your gift could also be your physical strength, the ability to chart the sky, protecting, teaching or inspiring others.
It could be anything.
Your gift is where the magic lives.
We all have one or many gifts that we bring into the world.
Life, the education system, our jobs, often force us to hide our natural gifts, to stuff ourselves into little boxes that don’t feel right because they are not meant for us.
When we are not being our authentic selves, sadness, depression, frustration, confusion and a sense of longing creeps in.
Be bold.
Shine your light.
Share your gifts with the world.
Encourage your children to do the same.
You, your gifts, you’re the magic
I believe in.

You do not need
to be fixed.
You are exactly
who and
where you are
meant to be.
You’re going to
fall once and awhile.
It’s okay. Everything
that needs to heal,
will heal.
Be gentle with yourself.
You’ve come such along way.
Your beautiful light has barely
begun to shine.

Don’t let your big ideas scare you.
Everything that ever was, or is, was born from a single thought or idea.
~ Everything.

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.

Your life ~ your adventure.

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.
TO’K ~ 🌹❤️
