Our life lessons

Have fun making felt ornaments...

If you asked me what I'm grateful for, 

my answer would be everything... 

The ups, the downs, and the upside downs... 

The pain, the joy, the mysterious way life works...

I used to see life in fragments... 

things were either good or they weren't...

Today I'm able to see more of the whole picture...

I know that struggle has gifted me every bit 

as much as the cherished moments...

Pure intentions

Self-less means we have let go of self-will 

and are no longer driven by self-interest...

Finding your bliss

Feeling inspired to create...

When you accept things as they are,  

the internal war will be over..

Complete faith

When you only want what God wants,

there will be nothing left to pray for...

Being real

Many of us hide the parts of ourselves we don't like. 

In doing so, we have not only diminished who we are,

we have set ourselves up to be someone we're not.

We put a smile on our pain because we see pain as a flaw.

We ignore our hurt because we see it as a sign of weakness.

Though it takes courage and strength to be authentic,

let's not waste our life worrying about what others think...

Freedom

Let go of fear; fear of change, 

fear of tomorrow, fear of being powerless...

Release the past; forgive those who have hurt you, 

forgive your own mistakes...

Have faith; trust that life is on your side

and that everything is for the purpose of good...

Inner peace

 In the quiet, we experience moments when

we touch a place inside us called our soul.  

It is here in the stillness, that we are home...

I believe in...

A positive attitude

Being miracle-minded

Being gentle with ourselves

Dreams, passion, purpose  

Truth, love, compassion

Through eyes of love

The world is not the problem. 

The problem is how we see the world…

Healing our heart

My new snowgirl... 

When we are afraid to face and 

feel the hurts of our past,

it puts an invisible wall 

between ourselves

and the world...

Finding your bliss

When we stop struggling 

and surrender to life's plan,

it will be the end of suffering...

The purest kind of love

Those who love from their soul,

love without judgement...

Imagine yourself as...

Picture yourself as a woman who

 is happy in her own skin,

 dances to her own music,
expresses herself freely.

We all have a story...

I have my own timeline
for putting up the xmas tree...

What is your story?

Your biggest hurdle?

Your saddest moment?

What makes you laugh?

Are you soft and forgiving?

Is it easy to be vulnerable?

How do you treat yourself?

What are your dreams?

Living deeper

In order to feel good about ourselves,
we have to toss certain behaviors into the sea.

The qualities we should strive for are humility, 
appreciation, patience, tolerance, balance,

respect, self-love, forgiveness, wisdom, 
and a conscience so loud, we can't ignore it.

Freedom

Picture yourself as a woman who

has broken the spell of fear.

Contentment

Picture yourself as a woman who

isn’t seduced by worldly possessions 

or seemingly attractive illusions...

Faith

Give up your plan and free-fall 

into the unknown...

Being open

There are no small moments

when it comes to the heart.

A blessing in disguise

There comes a time, especially for women who have had the responsibility of managing a lot of movings parts, that things begin to unravel…

This is called GRACE… 

Women have the tendency to be prideful about how much they can juggle. However, there is a price to pay when we lose sight of our emotional and physical needs, our dreams, our desires, our inability to have a healthy relationship with ourselves. We get caught up in the busyness rather than finding quiet time to reflect and rejuvenate. 

When things appear to be unraveling, perhaps it’s merely a blessing…

Soulfulness

To live soulfully, we follow our intuition, 

keep our hearts soft and grateful, 

seek adventure, fall in love with life...

A heart that is whole

Beneath our wounds is the heart of a child.

A child who has the ability to be adventurous, 

playful, loving, trusting, spontaneous, curious, 

mischievous, and fearless...

Love and compassion

Picture yourself as a woman who has

released negative stories about herself 

and rewritten the pages of her life 

with love and compassion... 

Inner joy

Picture yourself as a woman who

has created an interior life that

exudes blissful contentment...

Coming home

Picture yourself as a woman 

who has found her way back 

to who she is...

Unconditional love

The purest kind of love flows from a place where

the heart and soul are connected to each other...

Creating joy

To find more joy,

clean up the past until

 there is only a blank canvas

to create from...

Contentment

Poverty is the inability to see that

we already have everything we need...

Kindness

I'm always finding new ways to create.
These are my latest ideas...

Let go of negative thoughts.

 See everything as a blessing.

Use your challenges to grow. 

Remain kind and patient,  

especially yourself...
