Take action...

...to move toward the vision of life you 

desire.

You get to decide the way it will go.

"Your vision will become clear

only when you look in your own

heart"

~Carl Yung~

Notes to self,

Appreciate and non-compete.

'the shoe that fits one person

pinches another'

you are complete

remove debris and clutter from your heart

it is impossible to have a need

God cannot meet

miracles of transformation happen every

day

'a mystery-ridden life is still filled with light

and it's OK to have days where you are

still learning what that looks like.'

relief, release, and change are possible

when you simply accept

taking the wrong path is not dangerous

pouring all your will into serving that path

is

stop investing in what has lost it's meaning

a thought is not forever

if you don't like it

release and change

accept who you are

trust the magic that acceptance brings

be well...

"If the art of the magician to to distract attention

from what's really happening,

then what is life but the ultimate

magic trick?"

"Never mind searching for who you are.

Search for the person you aspire to be."

"May this be the season of courageous pursuit:

to fully enjoy the present moment

right in front of you,

no longer restrained by heavy mind

and things to do,

choosing to believe with bold faith

today is worth a long and loving look."

 

Needful things....

...my people, nature/animals, movement, scripture, breathwork, 

 and photos.

R.I.P Cinta (cancer) March 23.


As I move through life,
photos track what I love.
Real moments that are not forgotten,
and the sign posts along the way.
Everything has God's fingerprint on it.

Notes to self,

shape your own story while your living it,
you won't know the outcome until the end

put value on &
prioritize your free time

always take the path of kindness and grace

remain silent, leave the whys, wheres,
how and whens behind &
simply trust

you can never get your needs met 
by losing your head

break away from the ties that bind

it takes work in this hectic world
to find the place of rest and calm

clear out all the static

"Peace be still"

'....often you settle for less because you
didn't meet the best. 
When you get the best,
it gives you the power to let go 
of the rest.'

*Redwing Blackbird on the feeder*
sign that the forces of nature are at work
significant changes are ready to burst forth
personal growth
stay grounded

"Red Alert! You've been ignoring 
the obvious far too long.
Time to do something about it!
Now!"

be well...

"There is evidence of a God perfect in all things
except creating beings in His own image."

"No matter how varied and complex our daily
responsibilities,
at the end of the day Mother Nature has just one
question for us:
'What life did you nurture today?' "

 

Life Holds...

..."so many simple pleasures!

To wake up and take a breath,

to hear the lovely sounds of the morning,

to feel the warmth of the rising sun,

to smell fresh coffee and toasted bread-

all pockets of delight that each day brings.

Our senses are coming alive as we awaken.

Take a moment to be grateful for each sense

and  notice what you are feeling

as you open your eyes to welcome the day.

Take in the experience of feeling truly 

alive and grateful."

Notes to self,

clear your mind

listen

open your heart

cultivate a sense of wonder

as you move along life's journey,

periodically look up to align with your true north

the more you listen, the more you see

pay attention

your journey is full of blessings

figure out what your aiming for,

look out for things to avoid

like unhealthy habits, relationships

or activities

look at life with more honesty

see clearly what truly belongs to you

learn to say "no"

go easy,

don't push so hard

focus on a peaceful pace rather than a harried one

trust

be at peace and in harmony

not everything that truly matters in life

comes from trying harder

be well...

"Wisdom waits for you to be silent

enough to hear."

"We don't feel the dull ache of boredom because we

don't have options.

We feel the ache because we've forgotten the 

magic in every day moments."

'may you know in your soul

that the answer is not found in thinking,

feeling,

doing,

but in trusting in what is Greater than you.'

"Give yourself fully to the moments

so that you may give and get all 

there is."

In the Waiting...

....doubts start to surface & fears

creep in.

C-scan with contrast

It's also in the waiting that faith is strengthened.

Each moment that I choose faith

over worry, my heart becomes a little lighter,

 anxiety eases up, and I'm able to remain (reasonably) calm.

Notes to self,

the antidote for anxiety is prayer

choose to think about something

other than the problems

Be steeped in good news.

Direct your attention to 

praiseworthy things.

build up your faith

break the hold worry has over you

Trust God with all of your heart &

lean not on your own understanding

(Prov. 3:5)

side note: my results came back, and other than

a couple of little blips, (that I will be working on...)

all is well, 

I am well,

whispering a thank you to God, and the dove's

cooing outside my window...💞

be well...

xoxo

"Some days you check all the wellness boxes.

And some days all you can do is just rest

on the couch and have a good cry.

Healing is realizing that both kinds of days

are wellness."

~ Dr. Will Cole~

"What person of faith does not pray for certainty,

as if the world needs fewer people of faith

and more people of certainty."

"Who is the person of greater faith--

the person of certainty 

or the person who every day overcomes

doubt?"
