Dying to shine

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 ❤️

It’s time

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.

Tiny gifts

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.

Every once and awhile

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 ~

The Ache

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

TO’K ~ 🌹❤️

Thankful for you

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.

TO’K~🌹❤️

You will rise

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

TO’K ~ 🌹❤️

Stop worrying so much, about so little.

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.

TO’K~ 🌹❤️
