Worry

Worry is a waste of a good imagination

If they gave out awards for worrying, this is an area I would excel in.
I have spent the majority of my life worrying.
Worry about if I was good enough.
Worry about what others thought of me.
Worry about things that might happen.
Worry about things that didn’t happen.
Worry. Worry. Worry.
If only I had known how much I limited myself by worrying.
How many things I missed, avoided, or cancelled out because of it.
How many great ideas, amazing adventures and wonderful
opportunities I allowed myself to worry myself out of.
Imagine if I could allow myself to explore the limitless boundaries
of my imagination and run with it, instead of shrink away from it.
The unlimited possibilities.
The beauty and surprises of life.
Why waste so much energy on worrying about what might be,
or could happen, and experience nothing?
Instead, why not be in the moment,
make the best of what IS happening,
and experience everything?

Let our imagination run wild and free!

In love and light!

Thorn Bushes

Rose and thorn bushes
Is the glass half full or half empty?
 
You get to decide.
 
Do you focus on what’s wrong in any given situation or
do you see the potential?
 
Do you focus on the dark or
can you see the light at the end of the tunnel?
 
Are you burdened by the difficulty you’re going through or
can you see the opportunity within it?
 
We all go through hardships, trauma, sickness and pain.
 
But it’s in those moments that we need to recognize that these things, although difficult to deal with, bring us messages we need to hear.
 
They bring us opportunities to grow.
 
Not everything is happening to us, but FOR us.
 
Can you see the silver lining?
 
Can you be willing to look at things a different way?
 
In love and light, my dear friends
and a garden full of roses!
 

Start Over

Start over
I struggle on a daily basis to allow myself to have the things I want.
 
I struggle to make choices and decisions I should stick with.
 
I struggle to go after the things that are good for me.
 
Mostly because…
 
I struggle with feeling uncomfortable.
 
I struggle with making the wrong choice.
 
And I struggle with feeling disappointed.
 
I am at a point right now, where I have found that life, I could choose to chase it, and I could go after everything I’ve ever wanted.
 
Can I be brave enough? Courageous enough? Trust enough?
 
I think the most important aspect to remember is that I always have a choice, I always have my own back and to always love myself, through it all.
 
No matter how hard it gets.
No matter how scary.
No matter how long it takes,
or how many times I get stuck and start again.
 
Love who I am, and the strength it takes to overcome and be proud of every little victory on the way.
 
In love and light my darlings, start over.
 
 
 

We accept the Love We Think We Deserve

We accept the love we think we deserve
We are so unaware of the thoughts we think,
Or the beliefs we hold.
 
Surely we all think we deserve great things,
and we want great things.
 
And we do,
but sometimes there is a hidden belief deep inside,
that will only allow so much greatness for us.
 
We all have our comfort zones.
The place that feels natural and normal to us.
 
But the sad thing is,
is that comfort zone doesn’t always mean it feels good.
 
It’s just what we’re used to,
what we’ve accepted,
what we know how to maneuver through and around.
 
Therefore, we lower our expectations.
We settle for less,
and we convince ourselves we are happy.
 
Until we decide to be aware of who we are,
and to know our worth,
then mediocracy may be all that we can accept.
 
There is nothing wrong with that.
 
But if we want to raise that bar at all,
if we want to fulfill our dreams, desires or goals,
we must learn to check in with ourselves and see.
 
See if we can truly accept, completely allow and know in our hearts,
that we deserve every single great thing that comes our way.
 
And if it isn’t great, it isn’t ours.
My hopes are, that we can all learn to reach a little higher.
 
In love and light!
 

Forgive Yourself

Forgive yourself
We can be our own worst enemy.
The harshest critic.
 
We think that if we are not perfect, that somehow, that makes us unlovable.
 
If we choose the wrong partner, and for whatever reason it doesn’t work out, then something is fundamentally wrong with us.
 
We see ourselves as abnormal if we are not like everyone else.
 
We tell ourselves we’re not good enough, pretty enough, thin enough, smart enough….
And the list goes on…
But you know what?
 
WE are enough! YOU are enough!
 
There is no one like you in this world. That is reason enough to celebrate!
 
We each bring our own kind of magic, our own kind of beauty, to all the lives we touch.
 
We need to honor who and what we are.
 
Embrace all of our imperfections, insecurities and what we see as flaws.
 
Love and accept all the parts of ourselves that feel unlovable.
 
No matter where we’ve been or what we’ve done, we all deserve to be loved.
 
Forgive yourself for not being able to do that.
 
Let’s begin to heal those wounds, and start loving ourselves for the amazing individuals we truly are!
 
In love and light!

Fly

Fly
Being an adult can be hard.
 
There are so many demands on your time, your energy, your capabilities.
 
It is so easy to get caught up in the to do lists that never end.
 
We become hardened by life.
All the injustices, the hurt, the scars, the traumas and experiences.
 
But once upon a time, you were a child, with a world full of hope and promise.
Even if you didn’t have that, there was a purity or innocence within you.
 
Find the child inside you, that may have been buried under all of life’s hard lessons.
 
The little one who believed in magic. Who could dream and play in a fantasy land.
 
Find that child and let them dance. Let them play. Let them open up a world of beauty and wonder and surprise that you may have forgotten about.
 
Let them teach you how to fly.
 
In love and light!

People Will Tell You Who They Are

Believe them
I learned the hard way to never fall in love with potential.
 
I have always wanted to see the good in people, give them the benefit of the doubt.
 
Which is not a bad thing,
but when it comes to your own well being,
and how you end up approaching a relationship with someone,
 
You should listen.
 
People will tell you who they are.
 
If they tell you, you’re too good for them, you probably are.
 
If they are mean to the waitress, your friends, or you,
 
They are telling you who they are.
 
You don’t need to make excuses for them, or try to change them.
 
Allow them to be who they are.
 
And allow yourself to walk away.
 
You deserve so much more than someone’s potential.
 
In love and light!

Change

change
Your Life is in your hands.
 
You always have a choice.
You can choose to stay the same, or you can choose to do things differently.
The choice is still yours.
 
Taking chances are risky, they can be uncomfortable.
But they can also be very rewarding.
 
If you want a change in your life, big or small, make that choice, take that chance, and reach for something beyond your comfort.
It could change your life.
 
And even if it doesn’t, and it’s a complete disaster,
you will still have gained something in the trying.
 
Give yourself the opportunity to explore your capabilities.
To reach new heights,
Fulfill your desires,
And learn so much about yourself in the process.
 
In love and light!
 

Avoid the Drama

Avoid the drama
I have always been fortunate in the fact that I have attracted really good people to me in my life.
But there have been times when I’ve gotten sucked into drama and other people’s negative energy.
We may not notice how much of an energy drain that can be.
 
We must learn to protect our own energy.
It may not always be easy to eliminate or get away from some of the toxic people in our lives, especially if they are family or maybe a co-worker,
 
But if we can focus more on the good in our life,
Surround ourselves with people that lift us up,
Laugh uncontrollably, even at the silliest of things,
That’s the good stuff.
That’s the stuff that matters.
 
See the beauty in everything.
Be grateful for all that you do have.
Life is meant to be enjoyed.
 
In love and light

Never Leave Yourself Behind

never leave yourself behind
It has always been a challenge of mine to be able to give myself what I need, and yet be available and loving towards another.
 
It is a hard thing to balance your own needs and those of the ones you love.
 
We see ourselves as selfish if we put our own needs first.
 
We are afraid that others will think we don’t love them if they aren’t our top priority.
 
In reality, unless we fill ourselves up and meet our own needs, we are not able to give our full potential to anyone else.
 
If we don’t, we get a half assed attempt at taking care of ourselves,
our loved ones get a half assed version of our ability to be there,
and we are all getting only part of our needs met.
 
Now imagine, If we were able to completely fulfill our needs,
We would have more energy, love and compassion to share with others,
We could give them all of our presence in their company,
and we would all get every one of our needs met.
 
Take a little time to honor and care for yourself, give yourself what you need.
 
And watch how more fulfilling your life and your relationships become.
 
 
 
In love and light.
 

Never Regret Being a Good Person

Never regret being a good person
We are all just doing the best we can.
 
We are only responsible for ourselves.
 
Be authentic to who you are, no matter what.
 
You will cross paths with people who don’t deserve your love, your time, or your attention.
 
You will be judged by people that don’t even know you.
 
You will give everything you’ve got, to people that can’t appreciate all you have to offer.
 
You can’t take any of that personal.
 
It’s not about you, it’s about them.
 
They have their own unresolved pain, insecurities, and hurt that they don’t know how to deal with.
 
That is not your burden to bear.
 
All you can do is…
Be YOU.
 
Be proud of who YOU are.
 
Have compassion for yourself and others.
 
Be the person YOU can feel good about, in any situation.
 
In love and light and authenticity!
 

Love Didn’t Hurt You

Love Didin't Hurt You
Love is not the reason we hurt.
It is not loves fault.
 
We hurt because we find ourselves in entanglements with others
who don’t know how to love,
or don’t know what to do with it.
 
Not everyone is meant to love you in the same way, at the same degree or as fiercely as you love them.
 
Not everyone will love you back.
 
It has nothing to do with how much love you have,
But how well you give it, and how you express it.
 
Be willing to give and receive love.
Be willing to let love go.
Not all love is yours.
Love should feel free.
 
Love is not something to be feared.
Love fully.
Love freely.
Love unconditionally.
Love with everything you have and you will always have enough.
 
In LOVE and light
 

Be Prepared to Get What You Want

Ask For What You Want

 

 

We can wish for, want and hope for things to come to us or happen to us all day…
 
But unless we are prepared to get it,
It could come, smack us in the face and land in our lap,
and we still wouldn’t be able to receive it.
 
Whether it’s self sabotage,
or not believing it could happen,
or not feeling like we deserve it to be a reality,
It doesn’t matter.
We are not prepared or ready, we are standing in our own way to receive greatness.
 
We need to take a deep look within and ask ourselves,
Do I believe I deserve this?
If the answer is no, Why?
If the answer is Yes, What am I afraid will happen if I get it?
 
We can come to a place of understanding our blocks,
Remove the barriers that keep us stuck,
Realize how worthy we really are,
Allow great things into our life,
And get out of our own way!
 
In love and light
 
 

You Attract What You Need

You Attract What You Need
We all develop patterns in our life.
There are certain lessons we need to grow.
Whether they are true or not, there are certain things we believe about ourselves.
Therefore, we bring to ourselves that which we need to learn and to grow.
 
Do you ever wonder why you keep doing the same things over and over?
 
Keep dating that same kind of guy?
Keep getting stuck in the same kind of job?
Keep finding the same kind of people that zap your energy?
 
There is a pattern, a need, a belief you hold that says,
 
I need this person to choose me, because maybe my father didn’t.
I need this job, because I don’t think I’m capable of anything better or I’m afraid to fail.
I surround myself with negativity, because I’m afraid to be noticed, or made fun of or bullied.
 
If we can get down to the root of what we believe, and in most cases realize it isn’t even true, we can finally start to break these patterns that are no longer serving us.
 
We can open up to possibilities and opportunities that we never could consider before.
 
In love and light
 
 

Be You, Anyway

Be You, Anyway
You are only responsible for yourself and your own actions in this world.
 
You can’t expect anyone to do things the way you would.
 
It really doesn’t matter what anyone else does.
 
What matters is that you are true to who you are and how you show up in this world.
 
Life may not be fair, people may not respect you or treat you the way you should be..
 
But that’s on them, that is their own pain. That has nothing to do with you.
 
Be the best you, you can be.
Someone you can be proud of.
Live life on your terms and by your design.
 
In love and light beautiful souls
