~ Life is better with sunshine.

by The Whimsey Angel, posted in Life Journey, Positivity, Sunshine

Sometimes the warmth and light we need, shows up in the form of a happy, cheerful, little soul who radiates the light that lifts us up and warms our heart for a little while. They are the sunshine in our rainy days.

They may not be there all the time, but when they show up, they add the brightest of colours to our life. They shine their light for us when we can’t find our own, and wrap us in their glow when the world has made us cold.

Let them know how grateful you are for the smiles, the joy, the light, the giggles, the hugs and the warmth they bring into your life.

It might be the lady at the post office, the elderly gentleman that smiles and says hello every time you pass on the street, your neighbour‘s dog, your cat, or, the amazon delivery guy. It doesn’t matter where the light comes from, happy is happy, no matter how it arrives, so let them know they make a difference.

Have a happy day and when you can,
be the sunshine in someone’s life☀️💛

~Light workers

by The Whimsey Angel, posted in Life Journey

They are softer and more sensitive than most, believe in the goodness in others and walk gently on the earth.

They live mindfully, radiate positivity, love, and healing, choosing compassion, kindness and acceptance, over hate, judgment and fear.

They smile at strangers for no reason, talk to stray dogs, leave coins on the ground for others to find and they know forgiveness sets us free.

They are creative, love their colourful clothing, enjoy having their feet in the sand, their hands in the earth, and find healing when bathing in the ocean or walking through the forest.

They understand the interconnectivity between humanity, the planet, and every living thing upon it.

They’re grateful for the journey, the lessons life offers and know there’s more to this life than the noise that surrounds us.

They’re not bothered when people mock their whimsy optimism, they dance in spite of it.

Regardless of whats going on around them, they choose to see the light. This doesn’t make them naïve, it doesn’t mean they’re unaware of the darkness. It means they choose to grow in the light.

They’re not perfect, they often trip and fall, but always pull themselves up with a song in their heart, a skip in their step and a light burning bright in their soul.

They’re the light workers. They are the rays of light shining between our darkest moments and harshest storms. They lift us up, make us laugh, provide comfort and offer hope.

They remind us that all storms pass and beyond the darkness theres always, light.

And if you’re one of these ray’s of light, thank you making our world brighter.

Give your head, heart and soul a break.

Even if it’s only for a little while.
Unplug from the ugly, dark, messiness in our world, and turn towards what’s light, uplifting, nurturing, grounding, makes you smile and inspires hope.

No one survives long in darkness.
Like all living things, we grow and see things more clearly, when we stand in the light.

(and when we drink water, and have a bit of chocolate, and pet puppies and grow flowers and make music and smile at strangers 😁)

The way we look at each other.

by The Whimsey Angel, posted in acceptance, Life Journey

What if we looked at each other the same way we look at nature, and marvelled at how beautiful, brilliant, unique, colourful and powerful we all are?

Oh what a happy, peaceful, planet of twinkly, peaceful souls we could be.

You really are one beautiful, bright, brilliant, unique, colourful and powerful individual!!
Oh yes, you are!!

Yes, you can say no!

~ YES you can say NO

How many times have you;
agreed to do favours, taken on extra work, loaned money, attended events, compromised your values, lifestyle or well-being to please others or, avoid conflict?

Of course we make sacrifices or compromises in support of our loved ones. However, when people-pleasing becomes “the norm” and you’re constantly sacrificing your time, resources, or your physical or mental well-being, it might be time to reevaluate the people you loan yourself out too.

Seeking acceptance from others can be exhausting. The right relationship won’t drain you, they should lift you up.

Setting boundaries and saying NO to the things that make you uncomfortable or put you in situations where you’re overextending, overspending, overindulging or make you unwell, is necessary.

Wasting time on things that don’t matter,
and those who don’t care, takes time away from the things and those who do.

So yes, you can say NO!

Your journey, your life

by The Whimsey Angel, posted in acceptance, authentic, be you, follow your path, Life Journey

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

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

To feel fully alive, you have to follow your dreams, set your goals and dress for the life you want to live, 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.

It might also be, the most beautiful and liberating thing you ever do.
