Moments - Day 4 - Release

You know those moments right after a big sobbing cry when you feel empowered and able to tackle the world around you again?

Sure - you know it.  You’ve sobbed your heart out.  For a few moments you felt like no one understands you.  For a flicker, you felt like nothing matters.

Then, in a blink the world around you starts to shift.  The sadness you’ve been hanging onto has dissipated and you are released from it.  You see that you can be understood and that everything you do matters.  That every moment matters.

This was my moment early Saturday morning.  A moment of release.  A moment of understanding and perspective.

A moment.

Creating Worlds....

Today has inspired me to share words that I once wrote for a long lost love.
Even today I miss him still.
We create our worlds…today’s magical moment reminded me of this.

Overcome with quiet strength
Full, beautiful expression of nature and life
A higher level of consciousness
Master yourself and your world.

Magical Moments - Day 3

Today I have been graced with a handful of magical moments.  There is but one that stands out and I am inspired by her vision and her strength.

Today, one of my best girlfriends FORGAVE herself.  It was a beautiful thing to be a part of.  It brought tears of joy, a flood of relief and a lifelong confirmation that we ALL can find light in the darkness.  We, as individuals, have that power.  WE are light.

I am so proud and filled with love and light by today's magical moment.  

A moment to never forget.

A moment.

Moments - Day 2

Today's happy moment brought to you by one of my best girlfriends.....

I was having a shitty morning.  She called me out of the blue for an impromptu lunch date.

What a lovely way to brighten up my day.  How perfect!

Moments.

Today's smile....brought to you by a dear friend of mine.

He's going through troubled times at home.  His wife is ill.  His own health hasn't been 100% for some time.  He is brilliant.  He has this off the wall creative personality.  His energy abounds.  Nothing stops this man.

Today - we had a few bumps in our work day.  It was challenging.  It was demoralizing and defeating.  A loss of respect.  A loss of perspective.

He checked in on me a couple of times. Each time with warmth in his voice and arms open for a big 'ol bear hug.  He knows.  He just knows.  

This is what good friends bring.  Love and light in times of darkness and despair.  Today I needed a light.  He brought the light.  And for that I am thankful.  I am rich to have such friends in my circle.

And so today's moment:  A friend's understanding, light & love.  

I smile and laugh.  I am fortunate.  

A moment.  

Happiness....only a thought away

I'm on a mission.  Inspired by a dear friend of mine and her sharing of the "Book of Awesome".  We talked about how, on even the darkest of days, there is always a ray of light.  A moment.  A small smile.  A smirk even.  A flash of contentment....of knowing that nothing really matters BUT those moments of peace and light.

Being a flashlight....beaming on those around me and within, I'm going to take on a challenge.  Find a moment....every day that is inspirational.  A moment that brings a smile and warms one's soul.  I think I can do it.  I see beauty around me every day.  Now...to clock it.  To share it.  To shine a light on it.

And so...the adventure begins.

Moments....

A new start....

It has been a busy week!  I've managed to get myself somewhat organized in my new apartment with the help of some very dear friends.  It's been challenging, letting go of a past life and trying to stay focused on the road ahead of me instead of the one behind me.

Fortunately I am surrounded by love.  Some of it good positive love, some of it not so positive (long story), but love none-the-less.  I am fortunate to have so many good souls in my life.

AND flowers always help.  I'm glad I stopped and picked up the season's first tulips.  They always make me smile.
