If you think you have it, you probably don’t.
If you don’t think you’ve got it, you definitely do.
If you have it, don’t let it go.
Sparkle on…

Gnarled Bark
It’s the gnarled bark
the splintered edges
and the twisted growth
that craft the greatest character.
The Perfect Cocktail
Receive every moment in your today as the perfect next ingredient in creating the one-of-a-kind, divinely delicious, cocktail that is you.
A safe space
Find your safe space, your inner refuge. Close your eyes for a moment and notice what it look like, what is all around you. Feel the comfort, peace, and ease this space brings you. Know that your safe space is always there for you.
Now, share the peace, and ease of this space with those around you. Through your thoughts, your words, your actions, today create a safe space around you inviting others to experience comfort, peace, and ease in your presence.
We remember…
Today, we remember those who have given selflessly, who bravely share love and kindness at times when it would be easier to walk away or simply keep to themselves. Today, we celebrate the unexpected smile, the hand out reached, the spirit of peace in those who give of themselves for others.
Happiness
Why are you choosing to make happiness a goal? Why not just choose to be happy?
Momentous Occasions
Life travels at such lightening speed. Isn’t it great that we have created the pomp and circumstance that surrounds life’s milestones? Pausing to recognize and honor our successes, accomplishments and momentous occasions may likely be the only way to ensure that we remain present in the beauty and joy of those moments. Celebrations are life’s way of making sure the laser imprint of our magnificence sticks.
Buried Treasure
What if the darkest times, the largest struggles, and the greatest grief were treated as gold, jewels, and trinkets? A treasure box shoved deep down underneath brings richness, bright and full of promise when opened. Shadows that no longer remain hidden sparkle with hope, prosperity, and joy when realized as buried treasure.
Play Day
a painting by Susan Kerr
Instead of calling it work and begrudging it, what if today you call it play. Approach the to-do list with curiosity and wonder as if something new and exciting were about to unfold. Carry a smile in your pocket and wish genuine happiness to all those around you. Treat your space of work as a playground. Let your mind play tag with creativity. Flow through tasks and conversations as if gliding across the monkey bars. Delight in small accomplishments with the same flutter in your belly as when you first learned to swing. Invite play into your day. Feel big, free, and happy.

Blossom
Root down in humility.
Let love shower over you like a soft spring rain,
The warm rays of peace and ease fill you.
So full, whole and content
That love and joy have no option
But to penetrate existing boundaries,
Bursting, springing, popping out into the world.
Allow self love to bud and peace and joy blossom.
