Lay your...


...burdens down,
and come alive right here,
right now.

Instead of looking for things that need 
to be done...

concentrate on the task before you.

Let everything else...

fade into the background.

notes...

hold plans tentatively

the most important thing to determine
is what to do right now

unclutter your mind

don't be lulled into sleepwalking
through your days

you make a difference
your choices impact others

you may feel lost
when you're actually in
the process of finding your way

don't panic when a chapter of your
story doesn't make sense
God writes really good stories
stay close to Him

find ways you can experience
a joyful, meaningful life
& an inner sense of contentment

discover your part in life
your role
enter into the place you've been invited
live it fully

"Don't be afraid. Just stand still & watch
the Lord rescue you."
Exodus 14:13

you do not become less valuable
as you age
you become more of who you are

find a way to get out of old
unhealthy patterns

choose habits that help you flourish

keep growing and changing into a
healthier person

don't let your brain boss you around

focus on the positives
and the good in your life

quit settling for less

be well...

the challenge of being the person
someone thinks they married."

Take time...



....each morning to ground yourself.

Quite your mind, reflect...

and learn to work with yourself
not against yourself.

 Breathe in gratitude for the moments
of stillness,
and for the day ahead.
Pat your self on the back
and move on.

Live your life like this
is your life to live,
because it is.

notes...

 the moments that unfold in front of you...
are worth a long and loving look.

what got you here
won't get you there

stop chasing after what is fleeting
& unsatisfying for your worth

to improve something
you have to change something

take a greater approach to life

you pass on your healing
or 
you pass on your hurting

you can unlearn unhealthy
habits

better beats
blame

who you are is determined 
by the choices you make

don't grumble

your words matter

negative words pull you down

wisdom finds you at every age

be well...

get locked into a daily routine

walk as though you own the place."

Embrace an...

...."Every day is new" mindset.

Focus on what lies ahead.

Live in anticipation.

Let life take up the room it needs.

Don't...

get so caught up....

in the place you want to end up...

that you loose sight...

of what's around...

you.

notes:

do not fear your limitations

stay connected

when you lack peace
your focus is misplaced

hope for what you do not yet have
and wait for it patiently

be willing to go on an
adventure without 
getting all the details

pains of the past tell you to play it safe
& protect yourself
don't take the bait

hope is the fuel that keeps
the fire in your heart burning
it's the oxygen you breathe

"Forget the former things;
do not swell on the past."
Isaiah 43:18

you are a new creation
if you want to be

you are what you choose to become

you don't need a miracle to change 
your life

consider approaches you 
haven't tried

knowing who you are
and what you want
will serve you faithfully
being clear is half the battle

remain flexible
learn from nature
that everything has it's 
own pace

embrace the natural rhythm 
of each day

be well...
xoxo

Don't ask me to do that.

Learn how...

...to inhale everything you need to inhale,
and exhale with all that you have.

Be still right where you are.

It is through moments like this

that you can find peace.

 Go outside to embrace the stillness.

Let nature do it's work in you.

You don't have to know the direction 

of every step ahead

to end up

where you were meant to be.

He came home holding a huge bouquet of daisies in his hand.
I'm all bubbly...."how special!! Thanks hon!!"
"they were going to get cut down anyway"
"they're still special...!"
"might as well not waste them."
"still special..."
(having a moment with my kiddo)

quit something to 
prioritize what's important

you are not defined by what you do
but who you are

look for areas where
you need to let go

be thankful

trust life

don't give in to dull disappointment

keep your hopefulness alive

learning to trust
means surrendering to the 
need to know what
will happen

hold your plans loosely
knowing they are prone to change

breathe deep

you will learn what your meant to learn
you will grown how your meant to grow

don't be faked out by what isn't valuable
or lasting

be patient

determine to make better decisions in you life
moving forward

bump your mood with a deep breath,
 exercise
nature
meditation and prayer

do something nice for someone

the choices you make in your life
change your reality and that of those around you

be well...

" The average teacher explains complexity;
the gifted teacher reveals simplicity."

"You know how every once in a while
you do something and a little voice inside says,
'There. That's it. That's why you're here.'...
and you get a warm glow in your heart
because you know it's true?
Do more of that."

"You can't give your life more time,
so give the time you have left
more life."
