You funky little soul~

There’s a funky little soul residing in you who has the answers you’re looking for.

Step away from the busyness, the noise, and the crazy-makers. Then, close your eyes, relax and let that funky perfect little soul speak, now, LISTEN, really LISTEN.

You’re too beautiful, bright and powerful to let negative, toxic people, the madness around you, or the critics stifle your wisdom OR your magic. So don’t let them🪄

You are NOT your struggles~

You are not, the struggles, the heartache, the pain, the storms or, the mud you’ve been through.

You are the courage, the strength, the wisdom and the light that got you through it.

You are wiser, stronger, more courageous and capable, than you give yourself credit for.

Seriously, just look how far you’ve come🤗❤️

There is no wrong path~

Stop waiting and worrying, pick a path and grow.

We spend so much of our lives waiting and worrying. Waiting in line, waiting for the right time, the right person, the right place. Waiting for some things to begin and others to end. Worried there will be those who judge or hurt us. Worried we’ll make a mistake, fail or worried we’re heading in the wrong direction.

There is no wrong direction.
There is no wrong path.
There’s only forward.

The paths we choose create experiences. These experiences grow into wisdom. This wisdom becomes the fuel on which we blossom and grow.

You can sit idling at a crossroad full of worry and fear, as life and time passes by, waiting for a sign telling you “you’re allowed to proceed“ or, you can pick a path and go.

So stop waiting, choose a path, appreciate where it takes you, even if it’s painful. Be grateful for the lesson, the joy, the sorrow, the pleasure, the pain, whatever it is……………BE with it.
GO with it. Grow with it.

Sometimes it is about the destination~

We’re often told “It’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey .”
But sometimes, it is about the destination.

… to arrive at a place where the soul is calm and at peace with the storms its walked through.
…to forgive and hold no anger or regret.
…to carry a deep love and gratitude for the ones who have shared the journey, even if what was shared was painful.
…to heal.
…to accept others as they are.
…to live and love authentically with no expectations.
…to know why I’m here.
…to find peace amongst the brokenness of humanity and the messiness of the world and still be okay.
This is where I’m going.
This is the destination.

Twinkle-twinkle~

I’m grateful for the ones;
~ who help us see the light, the blessings and the beauty that surrounds us,
~ who shine their light into the dark and guide us home,
~ who lead with kindness and compassionate hearts,
~ who understand the brokenness in others and offer forgiveness, support and comfort rather than judgement and ridicule,
~ who offer peace, not pain,
~ who make the world twinkle a little bit brighter.

Twinkle, twinkle, where you are,
you are a gift amongst the stars.✨

Wakey-wakey~

Within each of us is a little soul who sees the world through curious eyes and colourful thoughts and ideas, who is kind, loves to dance, believes in magic and understands our connection to nature.

Wakey, wakey rise and shine!
Time to wake that magical little being up and invite them to step into this new year with you.

A great life~

A great life is not built upon the views others hold of you. A great life is built upon the view you hold of yourself.

Great people are not always famous, wealthy, powerful, loud or physically beautiful.

Great people are kind, peaceful, loving, forgiving, compassionate and humble. It’s these characteristics that make great people beautiful.

Stay grounded in your light and what you know you’re here to do.
The heckling of others is just noise.

The warmth of winter~

The warmth of winter, it’s just out there, beyond dried leaves and cool autumn air.

The sun shines briefly throughout the day,
twinkling stars, moon dust light our way.

Chilly days turn to toasty nights, friendly fire-side chats by candle light.

Berries and holly create warmth upon every door, toys and candy add excitement galore!

Skating and hockey upon frozen ponds, campfires with dear ones strengthen our bonds.

Movies and coco a seasonal treat, fluffy slippers warm our feet.

A license to be cozy, to settle in, to make resolutions before a new year begins.

Burr, it’s cold, yet winter warms the heart,
connecting loved ones who’ve been “distant” or far-a-part.

After solstice days get longer and brighter, igniting hope, which grows stronger and stronger.

Magic happens this time of year, as we create joyful noise and good cheer.

We begin to believe in things we don’t understand, like colourful elf’s and a jolly, long-bearded man.

We warm each other with gifts and praise, celebrating the season in loving, sweet ways.

We give of ourselves to those who have less, an act of gratitude for that which we’re blessed.

Toys are collected, meals served, bringing joy to those who struggle but still deserve.

We’re kinder, more giving, take better care of each other, we shine more brightly because we shine together.

What if through spring, summer and into fall, we hung on to the warmth of winter and the magic of it all?

You feel it, winters warmth as it draws near, bringing magic, hope and kindness, different than other times of the year🌟.
