say yes!

Say yes!
To that little voice inside of you that is whispering
Say yes!
To what you are terrified of doing
Say yes!
To call in your heart
Go ahead
Go for it
What is the worst that could happen?
You could fail, sure
You could embarrass yourself, of course
In fact it may not even work out the way you thought it would
But guess what?
It may end up being better than you imagined
You may learn a few things
You may stretch and grow
Here's the thing
You never know until you try
And a whole new world may open up to you along the way
You have to be willing to fail to succeed
So what is it?
What is that little voice inside of your head that is whispering?
What is it you really, really, want to do?
What is it you have been putting off?
Go ahead and take the risk!
Open your heart
And say YES!

YOU are glorious

What I want you to know is that you are glorious
Yes, YOU! 
Makeup free, hair a mess, still in your PJ’s
You SHINE
Know that the only person you need to be in this life is YOURSELF
Exactly as you are
Do not aim for perfection
It does not exist
Simply do the best you can
Show up
Live in the moment
Make plans for the future
And allow your heart space to dream
You are FIERCE
Feel it, believe it, know it, LIVE IT
Do not let anyone put out your light
What you do and who you are matters
It all matters
These tiny moments that feel insignificant
They have the ability to uplift and change someone’s day
This is powerful
Choose LOVE, always
Seek, search, and sometimes let go
What you once thought was all you wanted
May become something else
Stay fluid and open to change
Follow your heart, it won’t steer you wrong
Remember, you are GLORIOUS
In all you do
In all you say
In all you are

keep going

When you feel as if you are standing still
Keep going, keep moving
The world is your oyster
Explore it
Seek out new adventure
Engage in conversation
Make eye contact
Take the long way home
Just keep going
To accomplish anything you have to be strong
Brave
Fierce
You have to have the willingness to take a risk
Dig deep for your courage
Leap
And along the way learn how to fly
Fall, again and again
But always get back up
Keep going
Keep moving
Search for what you desire
Never give up
Hold onto hope
And ask for help along the way
This is your time
Don't let it slip away
Go after your dreams
Just keep on going
 

on the road you travel

On the road you travel you will find that you will not always know where you are going
You will have to make a choice on direction
And hope that it was the right one
You will need to trust
And listen deeply to your intuition

On the road you travel you will find that you will get lost
This is ok
Embrace this unknown moment
And see out the unexpected
These charted roads may have a thing or two to teach you

On the road you travel you will find yourself again and again
Always you are re-emerging
Growing, shifting, changing
Great yourself kindly
And open up your arms to this expanded version of yourself

On the road you travel you will carry things with you and let things go
If you are feeling weighted down do not hold on to long
Let go
This will free you up for exactly what you may need
And you will learn how to live without what was always cherished

On the road you travel you will make new friends and say goodbye to others
As you grow into yourself you will realize what ignites your spark
And you will not want those around you that do not fuel this excitement
It is ok to say goodbye
Carry with you what you have learned from them and part ways peacefully

On the road you travel you will discover
Yourself
How strong you really are
A new way to make it through
A better sense of what you truly want in this world

Be open to this road
Embrace everything it throws at you
For these are the roads of your life
They will help guide you and unravel you
Give thanks to these roads for leading you on an adventure of a lifetime

What will you find on the road you travel?  Share in the comments.  

I encourage you to write it out.  Begin with the word "On the road you {I} travel you {I} will find...."  See where the words take you.  

lift your head up to this moment

Lift your head up to the sun
Feel the warmth
Soak in the goodness
Savor the moment
Yes, this moment
Wherever you are right now
Pause
Take a deep breathe in
Feel the air around you
Notice the sound of the passing cars
Listen even closer to the silence in between
You will only get this day once
What will you do to make it meaningful
Who will you share your love with
What kindness will you bring
Say what you feel in your heart
Do not hold back
Let the love pour out of you
It will makes someones day
Even though the moment feels ordinary
It is a very special moment in time
Live with your heart wide open
Live deeply in this moment
 

dreaming

You watch from the sidelines and see other people's dreams coming true.  They make it look so easy.  Things seem to fall in place.  They are living the life you wish you could be living.  You stand on the sidelines pouting.  

But here is the thing.  You can be living the life of your dreams.  For others it did not just fall into their hands.  It took work, dedication, and lots of time.  They had a vision and went for it.  When they got knocked down they didn't give up.  They kept putting one foot in front of the other, ebbing and flowing with the changing tide.  You can do this to.  

You can achieve your dreams.

You just need to show up day after day.  Take the risk.  Listen to the voice of your own heart, for it will guide where you want to go.  There are no short cuts.  There isn't a special pill you can take.  You have to put in the work.  There will be sweat and tears but it will be worth it in the end.  

Do not let others control your destiny.  Do not give them the power to drag you down.  This is YOUR one wild and precious life.  Live it to the fullest going after what moves you.  There is no reason to be stagnant.  There is no reason not to dream.  Anything is possible when we put our minds to it.  

What is it you dream of?  Where do you want to go?  What is it you want to be doing?  

Reach for your dreams.  Take one small step towards them today and then keep that rhythm in motion.  Step by step you will get there.  Yes, you will.
