There is always a silver lining. It may be thin and barely visible, but it’s there, hugging the darkness, giving it form, and offering the portal, the transition from darkness to light. It’s always there. It just may take a little more effort to find it sometimes.
When you look out the car window do you see what is to come, what you have passed, or what is there right now? When you look in the rearview mirror, do you see what is behind you or is it right there with you? Can you meet yourself in the space between the past and future, your experiences all merging seamlessly to create the landscape that is this present moment? Are you aimlessly passing by each moment or are you actively immersed in the experience?
See it, feel it, live it…every moment.
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…
It’s the gnarled bark
the splintered edges
and the twisted growth
that craft the greatest character.
Receive every moment in your today as the perfect next ingredient in creating the one-of-a-kind, divinely delicious, cocktail that is you.
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.
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.
Why are you choosing to make happiness a goal? Why not just choose to be happy?
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.
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.
