Let’s play!

My words might strike simple, but it’s the complexity which inspires.

You find my words audacious! So be it.

You judge my words childish! so. be. it.

I am a joyful soul. Let’s play!

YOU

If your voice is sunshine, what will you light?

Hello autumn!

A dragonfly paid me a little visit the other day whilst I was cleaning out our garage to make space for my newest hobby of joy…

Hello gorgeous. Why have you shown yourself to me?

awestruck. i watched. i admired. i loved.

and then he left.

always my curiosity took hold and I’m googling and clicking and reading. Ugh. more research. All to find that he symbolizes change. Hmmm… is that where we are world?

Hello autumn.

a text

I think you are amazing. Can you truly believe you are amazing?

Yeah… I thought so.

The time is here. Time to discover who you are. What do you love doing? What is your favorite color, song, food.

Start small.

Do something for no one but you once a day…. but only do it if YOU love it and it brings JOY. if not, that’s not it.

You have this. You have a wonderful life ahead of you.

Words of Love

Life is never easy. It’s a ride… the harder the moment… the purer the gift received at the end. You deserve ALL the gifts awaiting you. Can you be patient for them? If yes, begin your practice in patience. If not, know that this cycle of yearning, of wanting, of not knowing will always exist for you.

boom.

This is your life. Your choice. Choose well.

sweet surrender

The stillness…  could it be years since I last felt this way?

to breathe in the sweet air and feast upon this earthy scene is divine retribution for my soul. a pause in all the busy-ness. a calm before autumn sets into motion the fury of tasks. a time to gather strength in appreciation of the work needed.

Be joyful.

 

 

 

find joy

In my younger days, I always wrote about a yearning… a  hunger for something more. It came from a place that spoke of love and dreamt of a happiness more important than air. That yearning ended a decade ago when I stumbled upon an honest (and handsome) man who had a heart of gold… who changed my world for the absolute betterment of me.

My voice has been hiding from the public eye as it was being used to soothe fevers and scraped knees, to quiet goodnights  with pillows piled high in anticipation of Harry Potter’s latest adventure. Yes, I gave my voice to my family.

But now, it’s your turn to hear me.

I’m ready. It’s time to spread a little sunshine to you, dear reader. Let this voice of a dreamer full of confidence and wonder spread a palette of happiness and joy across your day.

Joy can be found in everything around you. It’s up to you to find it.

I dedicate this blog to my family. The ones who inspire me daily and support me and feed me when my writing takes hold and I cannot leave this spot. For them, I write. For all, I love.

A lesson in being.

Just. Be.

It’s all we have to do.

I feel anxious. there’s a fire in my belly. what. can I do?

Just. Be.

It’s just a deep breath.

Innnnnnnhhhhaaalllleee. Eeeeeexxxhhhhaaallllee.

Just. Be.

It’s one thought laid to rest.

but the fire exists still. what. can I do?

Okay. you suck at this. take a deep breath and exhale that fire out already. hehe!

Pure Michigan

How can I describe the depth of blues I am privileged to see? It’s simply beautiful.

The ombré I am a witness to: it begins with a feathery milk of lightness that emerges with the clouds to a depth so full with sunshine; one is reminded of morning dew… so light it transcends the fullness of the sky; So immense in flavor, one drools for the next glance. Like a lover, yearning for that sweet kiss of connectivity which only a soulmate can provide. The kind that takes your breath away. Yes. This is pure Michigan
