What you're doing...

...when you're doing it, has value
even if you may not see it for decades.








Do what feels right-ish.
It all totally counts.
None of it is wasted.

notes...

we were spared from the high winds
a green-flyer chose to stay dry & practice on the porch
hubby asked me what direction we were driving in
"south"  a few minutes went by & he asked again
"east"
right both times
I shocked myself
it had to be God
 better start looking for a dress...my kiddo's getting married...💖
it's starting to get real
excited about the bridal shower this weekend
 gorgeous day....


respond to events of the world
as an occasion to change your heart

see the world through
the lens of love

pour love into what you do

when you take God seriously
He blesses you for it

mind the checks in your spirit 
and step out in faith

He wants the most joyful &
fruitful life for you

it takes a lifetime to learn
and grow as believers

it takes time to understand how to walk in faith
trusting in what you cannot see

have a heart that reflects
the values you cherish

anything worth upgrading in your life
is going to be challenging
or you would have already done it

'move from looking at your life from in front
& behind & step into it.'

you don't need an invitation
to pursue your ambitions
you're here
you're alive
you're able

there's plenty of conflict & uncertainty
in the world
but there is also 'boatloads of hope'

actively look for hope
live with anticipation
of what is possible

be happy now

be well...
xoxo

"Choose the adventure your life provides.
Each day is a blank page,
ready to be filled with our ups and downs,
which create a beautiful story.
Even though the adventure is not always easy,
vibrancy comes through resilience,
overcoming, and the happiness that awaits us
on the other side of every trial.
Each adventure presents itself as a way to
recalibrate our light more brilliantly."

A thought is harmless...

....unless we believe it.


notes...


"a stronghold is a lie that  you believe"

'your mind is your biggest asset'

'your thoughts control your life'

'all temptations happen in the mind'

'manage your mind
manage your life'

'whatever gets your attention 
gets you.'

'we know there's a hook
but we still keep nibbling'

'you cannot choose the behavior
and not choose the consequence'

'feed your mind
free your mind from destructive thoughts
focus your mind on the right things'

'bring your mind into order'

'don't let your mind run wild'

'Think about Jesus
think about others
think about eternity'

there's more to life than the here and now

be well...

"Learn to differentiate between the sound of intuition
guiding you and your traumas misleading you."

"Your beliefs don't make you a better person.
Your behavior does."

"If you truly want to change your life,
you first must be willing to change your mind."

Discover what it is...

....that stirs your soul.
There is no right or wrong;
just tune into your heart
 & head in the direction it's pointing you.















notes...

We sat in the truck and read while waiting for the rain to let up.
Once home...we decided to re-load and head to our favorite burger place.
Well..., mine.
The rain let up & the clouds were so beautiful.
Took the long way home on roads less traveled.


stop trying to figure everything out

be filled with hope
but even more filled with love
discipline your mind

your true challenge is to return 
to the center of your heart
to find the gentle voice
that speaks to you &
affirms you in a way
no human voice ever could

open yourself up 
to the beauty of today

be well...
xoxo

"Be yourself. Weird, wonderful, sensitive,
impulsive, crazy, mystical, vulnerable,
lovable, magical and beautiful.
The right people will adore you."

"Don't let the ugly in others
kill the beauty in you."

"It is less what love sees in you
than what love chooses to overlook."

Today's to do list....

....sit in the grass with my coffee & journal
Ride my bike on the lake trails,
 & capture a moment or two
along the way.
Breathe deep. Move.
Feed my soul.













notes...


LOVE it ! What a gorgeous day!!
I'm taking my bike out.

...she was rowing by and I asked her if I could
take her picture. 
She said I could. 
It makes me smile.


I got everything loaded to leave the trail.
Grabbed my phone, water, and camera.
Shut the hatch back.
Locked myself out.
(keys in backpack with bike)
Had the code on my phone,
but no glasses to see it..
couldn't expand it...
so I zoomed in with my camera.

More rain coming....
💞

practice being spontaneous

there's no such thing as
what you "should"  be doing

do something fun

life is a gift
claim it
live it

love just being

have fun
be happy

be well...
xoxo

"The trick is to enjoy your life.
Don't waste away your days,
waiting for better ones ahead."

"You owe yourself one hour a day for self-
maintenance,
It can include reading, writing, yoga, exercise,
dancing, meditation, painting, or whatever,
but you owe it to yourself.
One hour, 1/24 of your day.
That is less than 5%.
It matters, it really does.
Make it count."
