Light-hearted

"Have some fun-with life, with the day.

Life is not drudgery; that is an old belief.

Let go of it.

We are on an adventure, a journey.

Events will come to pass that we cannot now fathom.

Polls and pens...

Replace heaviness and weariness of spirit with joy.

Surround yourself with people and things

that bring lightness of spirit.

The journey can be an exciting adventure."

If you let it.

~The Language of Letting Go~

Journal share....

You don't need to conform in order to belong.

Embrace the "Yes" within you!

Shift your priorities.

"You cannot solve your present problems by using

the same mind frame that created the problems."

Your real happiness does not lie in some external accomplishment.

Your real happiness comes from activating your real potential

Engage your creativity.

Replenish. Slow down. Have fun.

Go be you!

"A joyful heart is good medicine."

be well...

"Joy does not simply happen to us.

We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day."

~Henry Nouwen~

"We are not going to change the whole world,

but we can change ourselves and feel free as birds.

We can be serene even in the midst of calamities and,

by our serenity make others more tranquil.

Serenity is contagious.

If we smile at someone,

he or she will smile back.

And a smile costs nothing.

We should plague everyone with joy.

If we are to die in a minute,

why not die happily laughing?"

"If we just let go and trust that things

will work out the way they're supposed to,

without trying to control the outcome,

then we can begin to enjoy the moment more fully.

The joy of the freedom it brings becomes  more 

pleasurable than the experience itself."

~Goldie Hawn~

What If

This morning...

there is a gentle rain, thunder, 

and I am throwing on my farm clothes to go do something I love!!

It's my fist day as a volunteer.

I am so excited to have this opportunity to work with kids, horses, and therapists.

My heart is happy!

 I think we're drawn to the things that teach us who we 

really are, that carries our unique nature....

that helps us connect to the music in our soul.

What if....

we maintained a listening attitude?

What if... we quit comparing ourselves to anyone.

What if ...we depend on God, 

rather than any earthly crutch,

and trust in His tremendous love and

awesome plans?

We have absolutely nothing to lose, and everything to gain.

be well

'You know that moment when you realize that 

everything has lined up perfectly,

perhaps serendipitously?

It's remarkable and you should celebrate these moments.

Serendipity  feels like a big hug from the universe.

When life presents itself this way,

celebrate with gratitude and reverence.

Things line up when they are supposed to.

Timing is everything and when it's

least expected, it's most exciting.'

Align

Find the small pockets of time to take in the beauty,

and let go of the rest.

Breathe out stress, breathe in peace.

Breathe out tension, breathe in ease.

Breathe out worry, breathe in faith.

...grand-pet sitting at my kiddo's 

Asking for total happiness is not asking for too much.

Truly listen to your desires.

Carve out little reprieves.

Trust your gut, & stop ignoring your inner compass,

worried about others emotions, or what they think.

Work on the courage to trust it, and align 

what you do, with what is true for you.

Trust God to meet you at your point of need

with His grace and wisdom which will undoubtedly

put you on the right road to recovery,

and wholeness.

God really is in the details.

Some journal notes while away...

There is no fear in love.

Protect your dream from those who do not understand.

Let trust and thankfulness stand guard.

'Love Me with all of your heart, soul, and mind.'

Matthew 22:37

"If you can't hear the voice of God,

it's time to carve out a quiet place in your life."

God will lead you, but He won't force you to follow.

'The contents of your thoughts have an enormous 

impact on your health & wellbeing.

Depression & anxiety can be because of distorted thinking.

If not corrected , it can lead to a breakdown in health.'

'Audit your life & become aware of where you are spending 

your time & who you are spending it with.'

'Understand the life you have been living & 

the life you want to live in the future.

Move closer to that version of life.

The more you invite God into your life,

the healthier & happier you will be.

Life is an inner process of becoming all

you were meant to be.

Nothing is impossible with God.

Be spontaneous. 

Fill your life with beauty.

"Follow the grain in your own wood."

'Life at it's best is not lived in the past.

It's lived in the now.'

be well...

"Anything you lose by speaking the truth,

isn't a loss.

It's an alignment.

The best cleanse you will ever do."

Healing

I have learned that discomfort is just a signal

that I am capable of more.

That meditation and journaling

are amazing healing tools.

And...

that I am willing to do whatever it takes to win on the inside.

Journal notes...

It is vital that you remain hopeful,

no matter what is going on in your life.

Peace is an inside job.

You do not need to present a different version

of yourself to earn love, acceptance, &

connection, and have deeper relationships.

Live the simplest version of who God made you to be.

Be authentic.

They will love who you really are.

The only adequate source of help is God.

'God helps you change and grow,

 and become spiritually mature & whole

in spirit, mind, and body.'

"Do not let your hearts be troubled

& do not be afraid."

John 14:27

Don't fight battles when you don't have a real way to fight them.

Keep your focus on things that are important to you.

You have the power to make today feel the way you want.

Find the tone you want to set for the day.

Breathe.

"Broom the gloom, & make room

for the blossoms to in your heart to bloom."

be well...

"I wish people knew that when we start healing,

we can also feel some sadness.

We realize how much we've missed out on.

How we were let down by others

and how we let down ourselves.

How much the past version of us actually deserved.

Healing involves healthy grieving;

cathartic crying.

The Japanese call it Rui Katsu

"Tear seeking".

A biological baptism,

born again anew."
