Witness

May you go deep, wide, low, high, through the beauty that is You(rs).    

“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”  Margaret Wolfe Hungerford

Can I get a witness?

Ha!  Hoot!  

Beauty.  Beautiful.  Beautified.  BeaUtiful.  Boom.

We all enjoy beautiful things.  What is beautiful to me may not be beautiful to You.  What is beautiful to You is what matters most to you in your life.

I know there is beautiful in everything; everyone, everywhere.

It stands out stark and easy.  It hides within some very rough moments.  It drifts through.  It slithers past.  It emits from.  It vibes with us.

When we look for beautiful things, we see them.  

If you want to see what is beautiful to you, all you need do is look and be open to it.

I'm believing that you create beauty as well.  I believe you are it too.

Beauty.  It is in the eye of the beholder.  Can I get a witness?

May you be a witness to what is beautiful in your life.

Love, Don't Be a Stranger

"Love After Love" by Derek Walcott

"The time will come when, with elation you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror and each will smile at the other's welcome, and say, sit here.  Eat.  You will love again the stranger who was your self.  Give wine.  Give bread.  Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life, whom you ignored for another, who knows you by heart.  Take down the love letters from the bookshelf, the photographs, the desperate notes, peel your own image from the mirror.  Sit.  Feast on your life."

May you not be a stranger to the person in the mirror.  May you love the person looking back at You.

Hydrate, nourish and welcome your self.

Give your own heart to You.

Cherish your self, your life, your dreams.

Talk to your self in your most beautiful of ways.

Sit in your own quietude and admiration.

This, here...  is what I wish for You.

Approved

The love and approval we seek is inside of us.   Once we have this….  Bam.   Complete.  

The love and approval you seek is inside of You.    

Go within.  This is where your love is and grows.  Love lives into all that you do and are when you choose it to be so.

May you choose it to be so - love; your love.      

Picture Unknown

Night Moves

Starry Starry night.  

Star Light. Star Bright.  

When you wish upon a star.   

In the still of the night.  

Night moves.  

Darkness.

Nightfall.

Let there be light.

Oh, what a beautiful night it was.  After taking this picture and seeing the stars, the moon, reflections, colors and lights, I realized that there are many little miracles in our every day lives.  When we start looking for them, we start seeing them.  When we are open to them, we experience them.  When we experience them, we open up to the joy within us.  

And, presently, the noise and scary, hurtful things in and around the the world can be more 'in our face' for us to process as well.  

Lately, joy has not come easily or as often as I would prefer.  The noise in our world is overpowering my brain and pushing back my joy.  I believe that our brains were not made to jump from some information to information overload immediately.  We are sitting, walking, living and building in a time unlike any we have experienced before.  The whole world is connected And we can see, feel, know and experience it in immediacy and with great speed and volume.

Yes, in the past, hurtful things have happened.  However, it may have felt like a lot of these hurtful things were not 'on top' of us; did not always have to do with what was going on in my life.  They were 'over there'.  It felt like we were unaffected.  What was going on 'here' asked for my attention moreso than what was going on 'over there'.  

Today, I'm feeling like we were affected, yet, I was blind to it.  Now we know for sure that what affects over there surely and eventually touches us in ways we may still be unaware of.  However, we can feel the effect almost instantaneously in one way or another.  

The same happens when 'over there' good things happen, the good wavelengths, vibrations and feelings can almost simultaneously affect us over here...  connect us to our joy; bring about joy through every day miracles.  

We are being asked to learn how to process information at great speeds and high volumes.  

I know there is not one path.  There is your path.  There is my path.  There is our path.  

There are always different paths to choose; to walk, to pay attention to.  

May you breathe, connect within and choose well.    

Choose with kindness, compassion, openness, willing to understand and grow with gentle strength.  

I wish good for You, for Me, for All. 

Wonderment

Wonderment is in everything.   If you wish to feel it, you can.  If you wish to be it, you will.  If you create for it to happen, it will.  If you wish to experience it, it’s there.   Your life is filled with wonderment when you believe and invite it in.  

Other words for wonderment are amazement; awe, curiosity; fascination; stunner.  

I find wonder in adventure; whether it is an outside adventure or going deep within myself.  To journey with another, through their eyes, is a marvelous adventure for me too.  

To be open to explore, to feel, to learn, to be and to journey forth creates wondrous moments with every breath.  

It is all in the way I look, see, perceive and respond.

Your experiences are through the way you look, see, perceive and respond.

I wish you marvelous moments of wonder and awe.

I wish you marvelous moments of stillness and calm.

I wish you marvelous moments of joy and movement.

I wish you marvelous moments realizing how wonderful you can be to You.

May you know what is wonderful for You and in You.   

Love

Love.  

We all receive and share love in different ways.  We can desire love.  We can create love.  We can limit love.  We can run from love.  We can offer love.  We can let love.  We can open to love.  And, so much more.  

Love, to me, is about supporting each other to be the best that we can be.  Lift each other up.  Sit with each other.  Let one another.  Laugh with one another.  Share ourselves with one another.  Let the depth of each of us unite from the place within that we are all connected.  The place that creates our breath and our beating heart.

The art of the HeArt flows through us.  Circumstances change us.  Situations touch us.  Experiences support us in expansion and produces in us contraction.

It is what You perceive that ignites love… 

May you be aware of what you are choosing to perceive and let your love be true to You through the way You love. 

Let not your love change from outside of yourself as best as possible.  Let your love breathe as it needs to be true and loving to You.

In this, perhaps, we all can allow love to flow on and beautifully.  

Today is National Daughter's Day.  I was blessed with a precious, superb, brilliant, beautiful, lovely, kind, awesome girl who is now a woman.  I have been telling her since I can remember 'Thank You for choosing me.'

So, today, here and now, I'd like to Thank You Jess for choosing me as your mom.  I have been beyond blessed.  Always and forever.  To infinity and beyond.  I love you more. 

Stand

Between the earth and the sky, north and south, east and west, light and dark, water and land, reality and dreams Stand I… Stands U.. Stands living.. Stands choice.   

In all that is, stillness and breath aligns us with our soul’s knowledge.  This, just may be where guidance to 'Just Being You' is the loudest.  

We each have many aspects, many feelings, many desires and hopes that create the person we are in this world.  We have similarities.  We have unique traits.  Individually, together the creation of life and living is full of stories and scenarios.  

We stand.  And we also sit, run, crawl, walk, lie, fly.  We dream.  We connect.  We disconnect.  We know much.  We know nothing.  

Life, as it is right now, has many of us questioning, going deeper than ever and on an edge, perhaps, that we have never been on.

I write with confusion and silence; chaos and openness.

I trust that I am right where I am supposed to be living and learning exactly what I am supposed to live as and learn of.

May you stand in your loving self with ease, direction, trust, and innate wisdom.  Let what is peaceful, true, kind, uplifting and powerful get you to your goals and let you live your purpose.   Let what is uncalm, chaotic, unknown and on edge flow through you knowing that you are okay and what is being created with you, from you and through you is part of your life's plan.

Wherever you find yourself, be fully present.   Search and feel for the knowledge that you are where you belong doing what you are supposed to be doing….  Adjust as necessary.   Let the awesome in you free in all stages of your life.
