room to grow....

"do not fear empty space, it allows room for magic to grow".....

yes yes yes. that is my mantra this week.

JOYFULLY SILLY.

i'm not afraid of looking stupid or silly or weird. i used to be. now i am myself. let the chips fall where they may. more often than not it brings kindred souls my way. birds of a feather flock together.

i like being silly. it is probably what defines me most. it's not a goal i try to attain, i just am. i like to laugh, i like to smile, i like to embrace who i am...the part of me that is the most powerful and the part that brings me joy.
yes at times i do get 'insecure' or i have my moments that i'm not as brave or that i am not as accepting of myself as i should be...but screw those moments.

i have a friend that brings me joy...........one who is truly as silly as i am.................and that can make me laugh like nobody's business. here is a little something he came up with this week..... to be goofy and creatively talented is a force to be reckoned with indeed! click here to > go to his youtube page to see the video with more clarity and better picture........

what i need....

...from my life right now is more simplicity....less things, more space.....more room to breathe and think and dance and do cartwheels if i want. less dishes, more fruit. less pillows, more room to stretch out. less furniture, more room for a dance floor. less books i have hung onto forever, more space for relevant books that come my way at just the right time to teach just the right lesson and then let them go to someone else.

i have never been more in a letting go phase than i am right now. it consumes my every thought and moment. i am always looking for more to clear out. it's necessary. i have been afraid to let go of the things i love because i fear lack of money to buy new things if i need them, i am scared if i let go of these things that identify me, how will others know "who i am" when they enter my home. will i appear boring?.......will the emptiness of it all make me go crazy?.....will i regret this when this phase fades away......
SO MANY REASONS....aka...EXCUSES.

THINGS MEAN NOTHING. only keep what you need. what you love. who you love. let go of EVERYTHING ELSE. life and time should be spent enjoying what you can, not dusting off things, friendships that are stale, habits that die hard.............find out what you don't need and let go of it. strangely enough, as time has gone on and i have let go of more, i feel even more grounded...i feel roots beginning to grow and i just all around feel stronger. i am learning to trust in myself and not in things....i am beginning to feel the power of simplicity.....

pay attention...

enjoy every. single. moment. big or small. don't take anything for granted.

what's important......

What's important....

is that you stay true to who you are no matter what....no matter the obstacles...no matter who tries to put you down....no matter the difficulties or joys that come your way....no matter if you are rich or poor....happy or sad....grieving or rejoicing....dancing or singing....sulking or wailing...it's all the same....find your center...keep your center....

if you don't know who you are then find out.....realize this changes as time goes on.....don't be afraid to let go of what doesn't work for you anymore.

find your tribe and enrich it with all the creative, positive, hopeful, joyful vibes that you possess.
make sure the people in this tribe do the same.....

learn about geese patterns and let it inspire you.........

go soak in nature...it feeds your soul

i am ready...

i am ready for change. ready for simplicity. ready for more outdoors, more nature, more sunshine, more fresh air. i am ready for more road trips, more painting, more time spent with friends. i am ready for more laughter, more smiling, a lighter heart. i am ready to get rid of the old, and embrace the new. i am ready to feel open to a new chapter, a new change, a new way of doing things. i am ready to embrace all that i am, all that i was, and all that i will be. i am ready to let things be as they are, and not what i think they should be. i am ready to throw the rule book out the door and align myself with what is right for me.

magic is happening

i feel tapped into something.....like a fruit bearing tree....like a steady wind...a summer breeze....a flowing stream....
