We get so wrapped up....

....needing to have everything together,
trying to figure it all out,
that we forget that
sometimes....


the most beautiful things are found in life's
little imperfections.

notes...

an unmowed lawn
 weeds growing in the wildflowers
splashed coffee on the quilt
Polly's tiny wet foot prints on my journal page
cat hairs on my PJ's
another used up pen 
 a tiny chip in my favorite mug
and dirt on my feet
oh how much
I love all the itsy bitsy gifts of imperfections....
... I breathe a little deeper
what a perfect morning


you have a rock solid foundation 
with on which you can live
and move and have your being

as you worship
a new hope will grow within you

sit quietly

each time you are tested and overcome
you exercise your spiritual muscles

surround yourself with people who add wisdom
but don't subtract love, acceptance and purpose

be choosy 

you never outgrow the need to get feedback
from other people who see the world differently
but naysayers can stymie your progress
keep cynics at a distance

when you wrestle with big life decisions
you want love and acceptance first
information second

when you fail you need hugs
not advise

be an encourager

challenges are opportunities 
to refocus & keep going

slow down the pace of your life

life unfolds in a way
that guarantees growth
of your best self

keep your eyes fixed on what matters
to you
with God continue 
to move toward it 
even shake off a few sticky wickets as you go

see what happens

you cannot miss out on an experience 
that you are meant to have

every breath offers you a chance
to put your faith into the hands
of God
and to remember how blessed
supported
and guided 
that you already are

'once you slow down
something more than ups and downs
of personal gains & loss
can shine through'

slowing down is essential
this invites your heart to feel safe
enough to open

you are not a robot
let your attitude toward yourself soften

'whether your goals are spiritual
personal
or professional
when you slow down & relax
into a more natural rate of speed
you create a perfect space
for life's most incredible 
discoveries to unfold
you discover a more honest
relationship with life'

discover your heart as the home
you never left

envision a lovely future
or spend time visualizing 
what you don't want
your decision

you are here on your own journey
open your eyes to see all that life
has to offer

'your soul is the compass for your
adventure
and your wisdom is the testament
of your life'

do your best to create change
your efforts & your prayers
are being recognized

be well...
xoxo

"People who take time to "be"
on a daily basis are measurably
more productive, better listeners,
more alive and more resilient
than those that don't."

"It is impossible to see the world as a 
friendly place (despite disappointments
and hassles) until the world inside
you own mind is also friendly."
