Cut deeply

Our eyes met

For a brief moment

The world stopped around me

The laughter from a few feet away

The sound of the someone walking up behind me

The worry of how I was going to get all of this done

All of it was silenced when our eyes interlocked and you waved

My hear skipped a beat

Butterflies filled my

stomach

A smile formed across my checks

All of this may sound heavenly

But oh

How I wish it did not happen

I wish I could walk past you and feel

Nothing

But I do

I feel it

It cuts me deep inside

And I must continue on

As if it were a normal day

Kindness

It does not have to be large

Huge or substantial

It does not have to take up a lot of time

Or extreme dedication

It can be as simple as extending a hand

Taking a moment to listen

Letting the person behind you go first

Or simply just smiling at a stranger

It is these small moments 

That make such a huge difference

The unexpected thoughtfulness 

The unanticipated kind remark

Something so tiny for you

Could mean the world to someone else

Brighten someones day

Remind them that there is still good in the world

So, I dare you

To take take that moment

And do something for someone else

Remember it is the smallest actions that lead to great things

*I would love to hear all about the

kindness

you are spreading to others

Lets sprinkle it all around so it sparkles like glitter* 

She

She wonders what it was that brought her here

To this moment

To this feeling

To this deep need to feel more

She wonders if she will ever know

If she will ever get it right

If she will ever be able to trust that little voice

If her heart will ever know her true calling

She wonders why it can be so tough at times

Why the struggles seem never ending

Why the tears pour down her cheek

Why she feels so alone

She knows that she is deeply loved

She is seen and accepted

She is filled with magic and joy

She is surrounded by support

She stands

Feet planted firmly on the ground

Standing tall

Head held high

This is her moment

And she knows she must continue on

I must

I must show up

Put pen to paper

Be in the moment

Let my heart and soul speak

I must let it flow through me

The secret words longing to be expressed

No longer holding onto them

I must be flexible

Let my hand take me where my heart wants to go

Never questioning why

I must be brave

And trust the process

Simply moving right along

I must be

right

here

Ordinary Sparkling Moments

My Ordinary Sparkling Moment

I was given the honor of being a Book Fairy
To set this beautiful book out into the world
For an unsuspecting person to find

It brought me so much joy to leave it
And made me think deeply about receiving
If I were walking down the path and spotted it
I may have passed it by, like I saw some people do
It is not always easy to receive

But there are times when we need to let others in
Let them help us
Guide us
Hold our hand while we travel down our path

And so I let the book fly
In Ridgewood NJ
At a park I go to often
Knowing in my heart that whoever found it
Was ready to receive and let in such a beautiful gift

Thank you Swirly, for giving me my book fairy wings
It was such a pleasure


**for those of you who have visited before, this is version two because I accidentally deleted my first post. lost now in cyber space forever**

I have

The stars have

aligned

for me

Somehow, someway

I am lucky

So incredibly lucky

I have my feet

They help me travel

Step by step they lead me on new adventures

Take me to new experiences

And help me stand tall in who I am

I have my legs

They carry me

Always standing back up after every time I fall down

Scars on my knees tell the stories

Of the risks I have taken

The stumbles that have made me stronger

And they weave together pieces of my story

I have my core

Which houses my heart and soul

They each guide me

Entice me to try new things

Be

adventurous

Take that next step

And embrace the beauty that is close at hand

My heart soaks in the happiness that swirls around me

And guides me during my sadness

My soul heals all things

And grounds me

I have my arms

That lift me up

Hug the ones I love

And encircle all things that fill me up

I have my hands

That love to hold

another's

hand

They wipe away my tears

And clap in

excitement

They write the words that flow from my heart and head

And touch the lives of others

I have my head

Which

protects

my brain

Allowing me to think

Decide what I want to do

Be who I am

Dream up incredible things

And create the things I desire

I have my ears

That listen to sweet music

Which makes my feet want to dance

It hears secrets passed between friends

Ideas blossoming and a friends encouraging words

I have my eyes

That take in all the beauty around me

The

radiant

sunset

Someone smiling

All the words that I soak up

My eyes see you, all of you

I have my mouth

To taste the delicious foods that nourish my body

Feel the kiss of a tender soul

To whisper I love you, and tell you how much I care

I have me

All of me

And for this

I am

Incredibly

lucky
