“Have a beautiful day”

by The Whimsey Angel, posted in Life Journey, Love and relationships, Reflection, self discovery, Spiritual, Uncategorized

“Have a beautiful day” a phrase I, and others use often.

But what does that mean ~ exactly?

I believe it means this

Whatever beauty is to you, BE that.

If beauty is kindness ~ be kind.

If you see beauty in a smile ~ give yours (smile) away.

If you find beauty in artistic talent ~ express yourself artistically.

If you find beauty in intimate moments ~ create some.

If you find beauty in culinary expression ~ go wild over the grill.

If you find beauty in nature ~ be in nature and be grateful for all that surrounds you.

If you appreciate the dance of beautiful words stung together to create inspirational poetry or a heart warming novel ~ get lost in a good book.

If beauty is your family, friends or pets ~ spend time with them.

Or, you might find beauty in fashion and makeup ~ so get gussied up and go out.

Beauty is the things that tickle our hearts and bring us to life. Beauty truly does live in the eye and the heart of the beholder. When we become the things we find beautiful, our inner beauty shines outward and that makes the world a “beautiful” place to be.

Be Beautiful 😊

The Promise

Shine your light for those who can not shine their own.

From taking care of the planet to taking care of each other, we have to start acting like we’re in this together, because, WE ARE.

THE PROMISE~ by TO’K

“Quietly I will love you, standing back, allowing you to live your learning, ready to hold you up when the weight of your struggle becomes too much to bear. You will find your light again, I promise. Until then, I will light your path to illuminate the beauty I know lives in you.”

Sending light, love, hope and a promise, to whomever needs it.

What are you filling up on?

For most of our adult lives we attempt to balance two cups.

The first cup holds our fear, worry, regret, resentment, disappointment, expectations of others, anger and jealousy.

This toxic first cup is always overflowing. We carefully carry this poisonous cup around trying not to spill it. In fact, we often keep a lid on that cup thats so tight nothing gets out, creating a pressure cooker on the verge of an explosion.

The second cup holds our joy, happiness, love, compassion and kindness. It never seems full enough. We’re always seeking to add more to the second cup while at the same time carrying the weight and stress of the first cup around.

Guess what? You’re allowed to dump everything, absolutely everything, from the first cup and leave it behind.

You don’t have to carry the cup or it’s toxic contents any more, they add no value to your life.

With the contents of the first cup out of your way you’ll make room to bring more of whats good into your life.

When your happiness cup is full, pour some of what you have into the lives of those that need it the most.

We get to choose what we fill up on. Yet, we generally keep lugging that damn first cup around because we think that is what we’re supposed to do, its what we’ve learnt to do. But you don’t have to, you can put that first cup down, leaving all that it holds behind.

24 hours gone every day

24 hours are taken from you every day

whether you use them or not.

Think about that, 24 hours gone, whether you use them or not.

Don’t wait;

– for more time,

– the next time,

– a better time,

– until you have the time,

– until they give you their time.

If those 24 hours were dollars, you’d find a way to spend them wisely.

What’s worthy of your time now?

Who’s worthy of your time now?

Use the time you’re given to enjoy this one precious life. Because beautiful soul, you’re not getting any more time.

ON MY WORST DAY – I was still grateful.

by The Whimsey Angel, posted in grief, Life Journey, Uncategorized

On my worst day, I woke up, although a part of me wished I hadn’t.

I dragged my aching soul out from under the covers and hauled myself across the room. Life felt unbearable and hopeless. But still, I had a life.

I stepped outside on to the small balcony of my hotel room and let the wind tussle my hair and let the rain kiss my tear stained cheeks and sooth my crippled soul.

My eyes were swollen, yet, I could faintly see the dim, blue, sky hidden behind hazy, grey clouds. Although I could not see the sun, I knew it was there, hiding and helping life flourish.

My heart was broken, but, it was still beating and I still had the capacity to love.

The ache tore through my entire being, paralyzed my body, but, I could still stand and I could still feel.

I gazed out across the steely cold ocean knowing that beneath the surface of the water beautiful things were alive. And I knew that below the surface of my pain, there was a powerful force swimming in the dark that would help me heal.

I closed my tired eyes and was able to visit the corners of my mind where I held the image of every beautiful soul that had ever wandered in and out of my life. I would need them now.

On my worst day, my very worst day, there was still so much to be grateful for.

Even on your worst days, there will be something beautiful to believe in. Be always grateful for those things.
