Life is absolutely,
without a doubt incredibly beautiful. If you look for beauty you will be
astounded at how much beauty surrounds us every day. A smile on someone’s face,
a flower that makes you happy, a bird flying to remind us of our own ability to
soar. So many things, people we love, the sun that warms us, the moon that
lights our darkness. The dragonfly that reminds me I am on the right path, the
water that settles my soul and so much more. Look for the beauty.
Live your life from
gratitude and love and life will reward you with even more! Be grateful for
everything in life, everything. Make decisions based on love, allow love to
fill your soul and you will be so happy, no matter what. Even if it takes work,
focus on gratitude and love. The more you are thankful for, the more you will
receive to be thankful for.
Mistakes are the best
lessons we can learn. I have made so many mistakes in life, but really
those mistakes were my biggest teacher. I am so grateful for the times I have
fallen, the times I have been lost…through all of those times I found the
beauty of me. I became closer to the true me each time. Don’t dwell on the mistakes;
look for the lesson in it. Look for what you learned, and be kind to yourself.
There is always time
to take a chance. It is never too late, you are never too old, and life is
never too busy for you to take a chance on yourself and your dreams. It is
always the right time for you to take a leap of faith and do what makes your
soul happy.
Love is worth it.
Love is worth all the pain, the frustration and the joy. Every bit of it is
worth the vulnerability that you show each time you love another. We are all
pure love within, and love is truly what makes everything make sense. If we
could all love ourselves then there would be nothing but love in this world.
Radiate love to all and especially to yourself.
You choose joy!
You can choose misery, you can choose anger, and you can choose joy. I chose
joy, and every day I feel more and more joyful. I chose to not let anger and
fear lead me any longer. It was a choice, and it is a choice I make every day.
Trust me, it is the best choice you can make, it will lead you to all that you
ever dreamed, and you will feel peace like you have never known. You will also
be astounded how nothing really bothers you anymore, and no one does either.
Life is short.
Life is too short to wait for anything. You truly don’t know if you will have
another minute, hour, month or year. So live as if it is your last moment, and
love with all your heart and soul. I have lost so many loved ones too early,
and I have learned that life is way too short. Do what you want, don’t settle
for anything less than absolute joy and love. Laugh every day, and be
vulnerable enough to share your love and your joy with others.
Time heals. There
will be times in your life you will be brought to your knees, and you will be
tested in ways you never knew, you will see darkness that you won’t know there
is light. But time helps you, time will show you that you can stand tall once
again, that you will love yourself deeper than you have known, and that light
will surround you and guide you. This moment is not forever, time will help you
heal and soften. There is always hope, there is always love.
Be you, the real and
raw you. The world wants you, not the you that the world might think you
are. Not the you with the job title or the degree, the you that is raw and
vulnerable. The you that has lived your story, the you that is passionate and
happy, the you that sometimes hides. It is when you are comfortable with who
you are that you become the light in others’ lives, and the spark of joy that
can help others smile and have hope.
I love being Mom.
It has been the most profound privilege to be mom to the two children I was
blessed with. To watch another human being come in to this world through me and
then to live each day in this world is indescribable joy. From infants to young
adults, being able to be part of their journey is without a doubt the most awe
inspiring experience I have ever known. To see the soul of two young children
discover this world and discover themselves is a privilege, and it is the
purest love I have ever known. It is otherworldly to be a part of this process
and journey with them.
Two healthy people
make a fantastic relationship. Each of us has to do our own work, and when
we do it is phenomenal. I am grateful to be in love with a person that is
healthy in his mind and soul, and that is a true partner in life. It took many
years of therapy to discover how incredible I was when I cleared my mind of fears
and insecurities, and I allowed myself to accept, love and forgive myself. When
I am my best self, I am the best partner. We are each our own complete person
and we are each a pillar. With that comes the most profound intimacy and love I
ever imagined. I have opened myself vulnerably to be loved by another, to trust
another. He has cared for and respected that piece of me, and has opened
himself up in the same way. With that I have found such beautiful, kind,
joyous, strong love and partnership. You have to do your work folks, we all do!
No one can love us until we love ourselves, I get that now. No one can save
you, only you can save you. No one can complete you, you have to complete
yourself. It is when you do this that you can open yourself up to a beautiful
and fulfilling love.
You need your tribe.
Your people are important; your tribe is like a life line. My family and my
friends mean the world to me, and I have come to have a close tribe that
supports me, encourages me, and finds the joy in life. As they say “Your vibe
attracts your tribe” and I am loving my tribe. Keep people in your life that
lift you up, that are there to hold your hand and are there to share in
laughter and tears in life. We all need a tribe to help us through!
You are enough!
This is the one for me, the one that changed it all. For most of my young adult
and adult life I believed I was never enough. Never a good enough wife, mother,
daughter, granddaughter, sister, human being. Then I realized I am more than
just enough, we are all more than enough! We are wise, capable, able,
beautiful, magical beings. You are enough for anything and everything you have
ever dreamed of and even more!!!! You are enough simply because you exist. You
are enough, you are enough. Never doubt it, never live from that lack – it hurts
you and everyone else. Love who you are, and trust that you are enough and so
much more!
