I Am Strong

I Am Strong
We sometimes need to see both sides of the spectrum to fully appreciate the greatness in each moment.
 
How would we know one without the other?
 
When we come up against our darkness,
our mistakes,
our flaws,
our weaknesses,
we are then able to see our limits and our humanness.
To see where our boundaries need to be set.
And when we need a little more compassion for ourselves.
 
Knowing these things about ourselves,
gives us reason.. motivation..
to do better,
to be better,
to live better.
 
Fully embrace both sides of the coin.
Let that be our guide to know what we do and do not want.
What’s good for us and what is not.
What we will accept and what we won’t.
 
Know that each moment of despair has taught us something about ourselves and made us so much stronger, beautiful, fearless, wise, and loving because of it.
 
 
In love and light!

Challenges

Challenges make life interesting
Sometimes it feels like the road is always uphill, there’s one more obstacle, one more ‘thing’ standing in our way.
 
Sometimes it feels like we’ll never get better, or never reach our goals.
 
Although we may not like dealing with our challenges,
 
Can we see that with each stepping stone, roadblock, or speedbump in our way,
 
Comes a tremendous amount of growth?
 
Can we recognize the incredible strength it takes, strength that maybe we didn’t know we had?
 
Can we appreciate the victories of getting through, past or over all the things that challenge us? Big or small.
 
Can we realize that because of these things, we become more capable of handling the day to day slaps in the face.
 
Our ability to trust ourselves strengthens.
 
We can see the greatness in what we can achieve.
 
So instead of feeling like the world and everything is out to get us,
 
Empower ourselves to know, we can go out into the world and get everything!
 
In love and light and a life of meaning!

Our Journey

Maybe the journey isn't about becoming anything
We all come into this world perfect.
Pure, innocent, honest and authentic.
 
Our hearts are wide open.
Full of love, and hope.
 
Our eyes are bright with curiosity, wonder, and awe.
 
As we travel through life,
we experience difficulty, disappointment, and struggles.
We begin to add layers of protection around us,
to shield us from all that is painful.
 
We tell ourselves stories of why things happen,
and begin to close our hearts,
as the brightness in our eyes begin to fade.
 
We think that we have to be more than we are,
We have to do better,
Be better.
 
We have to find our purpose.
 
But what if our purpose is to be US!
The same pure, innocent, honest and authentic self we came here as.
We don’t have to become anything.
We are already enough!
 
Our only challenge is removing the layers we’ve added.
Re-telling our stories, so we see the lesson and growth,
more than the pain.
 
Knowing we are worthy of all the good in this world,
and knowing we are a part of that,
that we have an impact on the lives we touch.
No matter how small the gesture,
Our presence means something to everyone we come in contact with.
 
So instead of thinking we have to do something to become who we were meant to be,
Why don’t we just start BEing who we have always truly been?
 
In love and light!

A Guarded Girl

Loving a guarded girl
Life brings us challenges and lessons and moments that may harden us or cause us to throw up walls.
We learn to protect our hearts.
We become independent and rely on our own abilities and resources.
We realize that everything we need is within us, not out “there”.
We become very particular in what or whom we allow into our world.
 
If we can use this as a strength, and still keep our hearts open,
and come at life from a place of being complete, rather than from lack or need,
we may find that our life is filled with choices and desires,
rather than desperation to fill an empty void.
 
When people and things of substance come our way,
we can recognize true potential, rather than settling for bread crumbs and hopes for potential.
 
We can be choosy, because we don’t need anyone.
We choose them.
And if we choose them, then they must know,
to be let into the heart of a guarded girl,
is not a decision to be taken lightly.
We see you, and you are worth it!
Finding someone that makes us want to break down our walls,
is an undeniable feeling.
It is raw, beautiful and the purest love of all.
We have so much love to give, we just have no desire in wasting it on someone that can’t hold it and cherish it.
 
So be independent.
Be picky.
Be complete.
Be guarded, but keep our hearts open.
 
Be open to choosing what we want, not out of need, but out of desire. And watch how a whole new world of healthy, so much better for us, choices open up!
 
In love and light!

How Lovely It Is To Let Things Go

letting things go
The beauty of fall.
 
The vibrant color of the leaves.
 
The fresh, crisp air.
 
The wonder of nature.
 
The tree shines in all it’s glory, it’s true brilliance of color for only a few weeks.
 
Only to drop them all, for a period of rest, and then begin again.
 
Can we not see, how this cycle could serve us?
 
If we could shine our light as brightly as we can,
 
and then when needed, pause and strip down to our true authentic selves.
 
Recalibrate and ask ourselves;
 
What is working and what isn’t?
What can I do more of in my life?
How can I best serve others?
Am I being true to myself and others?
 
Find out what areas you can improve on and what things you need to let go of.
 
Are you holding on to anger?
Or guilt?
Or fear?
Are these things serving you?
 
There is always a chance to begin again.
 
The choice is yours on how you want that to be.
 
And with the change of the season, let us all feel the sweet relief of all the things we can let go of, as we allow each leaf to drop…
 
and begin anew.
 
In love and light!

Faith

Faith
None of us like to look at the things that are wrong.
 
It feels awful to be uncomfortable.
 
We all want to resist the problems, the concerns, our feelings, and the reality of what’s happening.
 
But if we can just sit with it,
 
Notice and acknowledge that it’s there,
 
There comes a freedom with that.
 
We’re not adding to our misery by fighting it.
 
Sometimes we don’t need to fix it.
 
We can accept that we are temporarily not where we want to be.
 
Sometimes we need to embrace the darkness before we can accept the light.
 
Then, in time, turn back to Faith.
 
Knowing that the light will shine again,
 
Things will get better.
 
This too shall pass, and we will begin again.
 
In love and light and Faith!
