Go confidently in the direction of your dreams...



Powerful words,

Meaningful,

Important,

Telling.....

What is stopping you from finding your life as you have imagined it?

I get bogged down with day to day things and often loose sight of the big picture. When I do get back on track it feels right and I know I will get there.

Just keep pushing forward.

Remember to remind yourself daily what your goals are and try to focus on them. When I go too long without writing, dreaming or imagining what I want, I find I am not as happy as when I make a conscious effort to think about my direction.

Make lists,  

Send yourself an appointment reminder with your goals,

Keep the focus where you want to be and it will happen!
XOXO

Discover what's next!





Making a discovery can be a wonderful thing.

Whether it's in your personal life or your work life discovery can be very exciting.

How many times have you learned something new and thought, "I had no idea I was so good at this", or "I had no idea what satisfaction doing this would give me".

I know about 5 years ago when I took a job that seemed a stretch from my norm, I realized how much I was missing by not making a change earlier. I had an opportunity to learn, teach, and grow. It reminded me of the beginning of my career when I was so eager to know everything and willing to take chances and risks. I discovered what was next!

It's good to push forward to: 
continue to grow, 
continue to learn, 
continue to teach, 
and continue to discover.

You may find out "what's next".
XOXO

Blowing in the Wind ♒




There's a cool wind blowing...... and it feels so good.

You can tell when there is a change in season coming, just like in our lives, at times you can just feel that change is near.

It may not have happened yet,

You may not even know what it will be,

But somehow you know it's coming.

I have had many changes in my life. Some were planned, some were not, but the sweetest ones when they happened felt right and you knew were meant to be!

Sometimes you just have to set yourself up to receive these changes and go with them. They may not be something you normally would like or lean toward but given a chance they might make a big impact in your life.

Embrace the change, listen to your heart, and feel the winds blowing towards you. 
XOXO

The Winds of Grace ♒



There is nothing like the wind.

A cool breeze when it is so hot, a gentle wind on the beach, a light rustling of flowers, a wind chime catching a little movement.......

Such a feeling, finding the winds, the catching of grace.

Our lives are like the wind - ebbs and flows, highs and lows, ups and downs, finding grace through it all is a strength.

Your life may not be exactly where you want it to be but just like the wind, this to shall pass. Keep moving forward catching a breeze and giving thanks for all that is yours.

Appreciating all of the winds of our lives and keeping grace within is where we strive to be.

Make sure your grace is showing like the wind and adjusting along the way.
XOXO

The Right Stuff




I have asked myself if I have the "right stuff".

Can I commit to continuing along and trying?

Can I keep my vision going?

Am I using my talents and imagination to show I have the right stuff?

Life can get in the way of your dreams. 

You have to push to keep them where you can see them, use them, and hold them dear to you. Even when it seems like you are alone in your way.

Don't give up. Keep the commitment going and you will show yourself, you have the "right stuff"!
XOXO

Being Inspired!




What does it take for you to feel inspired?

We all have sources we draw from.

Some of mine are:

The beauty of my own backyard,

Hearing my children's voices,

Thoughts of family, friends,

Memories,

Walking the beach,

Knowing your purpose,

Moments of silence.......

If you can be inspired, you can share that with those around you. 
Making the most of life, spending the time wisely, giving as much as you can.

Be inspired today and spread it within your life's circle.
XOXO

Clean Sheets





Don't you just love the feeling when you get into bed and you have clean sheets. 

The crispness,

The softness,

The smell........

Sliding in and taking it all in is such a wonderful feeling.

Wouldn't it be great to get that feeling every day?

Fresh, crisp, clean  ~ in thoughts, in feelings, in everything around you not just your sheets!

I know it's going to be a good day when just thinking of this makes me smile, want to imagine, create and dream.

Make it a clean sheet kinda day.

Keep that feeling going and share it with those around you.
XOXO

To thine own self be true!




What was said so many years ago still remains true today.

Have you found yourself following someone else's path?

Maybe getting caught up in the schedule of work, 

The problems of the day,

Distractions that redirect your focus and make you feel you are not doing what is right for you?

I can get wrapped up in a project and then realize I am spending way too much time on something that is not that meaningful to me.

Sometimes you have to say no.

It's hard but time is precious and you can't afford to waste it or loose it.

You can never get it back.

Make sure you are being true to you and giving your time to you to stay true.
XOXO

Let your dreams set sail ☼


Where are your dreams? 

On a paper,

In a folder,

Tucked away to be brought out only occasionally.......

I have this on a wall hanging above my desk. I know it was given to me but I'm not sure anymore from whom. I look at it every day but haven't thought about it in a while.

Wonder why?

I think it's true and I want it to happen, but it keeps getting lost. 

Are your dreams something you think about every now and then but not something on the top of your mind?

Time to change that!

Don't let them only be dreams ~ make them come alive and happen.
XOXO

You've gotta have faith!



Don't you think it is easy to loose your way,

Get distracted, 

Have life overtake your well laid plans....

It is important to stay focused even if you think things aren't working out like you expected.

There are times when it is hard to have the faith that everything is going to be OK. It may seem like you should not pursue your dreams but sometimes you just have to hang on. 

Haven't you had a well executed plan and suddenly it just doesn't happen? So many times you figure out it just wasn't meant to be.

I have been struggling with finding my way, a new path, and hoping for a sign. I'm trying to keep true to me, and continue the way I have taken recently.

You've got to believe it will all work out and keep the faith.
XOXO

Be your authentic self ❣



Are you living an authentic life?

Are you true to yourself?

It's hard to put yourself first but important to fuel the things that make you -  well you.

Along the years sometimes our identity gets taken over by jobs, friends, and family. If you can remain true to yourself you will be able to be better at all of these.

I can't imagine not being a wife, mother, and friend and keeping my family at the top of my list but I also want to be remembered for me. My true self and loved for that.

I hope I have taught my children to be true to who they are and that they feel free to express that ~ always.

When you make compromises that are not true to you, it will change you and lead to unhappiness.

My parents did a good job at always making me feel I was "special". No matter what I was doing I was encouraged to be me. I always can draw from that and it does feed my soul and make me feel I am on the right path. Even if it is difficult for others to see. 

It's good to be you.
XOXO
