Sprinkles of Love & Peace

During your transformation, you might feel like everything is falling apart, but in reality everything is coming together for your highest good. You're being pushed to evolve and get out of your comfort zone so you can live and experience your true greatness. Welcome change.

autumn is like curling up in the cold wind of a sparkling dawn, while you carry the heat of the summer sun like an amulet close to your heart, hidden beneath layers of scratchy sweatshirts. your finger tips already feel the burning sensation of an approaching winter. the smell of leaves dying and and grapes ripening, of crisp mornings and of the hair of a loved one, where the cold wind just ran through. how life seems to slow down to admire the colours that autumn brings. you see your breath turn into fog while you stare into the twilight of the distance and suddenly you know you 're alive.

Beauty is so interesting because it goes farther than outward appearances. I think, the more unapologetically alive you are, the more beautiful you are. The more you find beauty in other people, in the depths of them and not just the way they look, the more you'll find it in yourself.

one day you will wake up refreshed, drink coffee and be able to read a book the same way you did when you were little. you will have a cat who curls up to sleep on your lap or a playful dog who is happy to see you. you will be the kindest you can be, listening to stories, and checking up on people often. you will make pancakes in the morning and decorate your abode with plants, your old paintings and cozy cushions. you will fill photo albums with blurry photos of your new friends and road trips and summery evenings. you will visit your favorite bakery and library often, and keep in touch with people you love. things won't be perfect, but you'll be at peace with yourself and you will be in love with life again.

Many who grew up in unsafe environments will go to extremes to explain themselves or prove their innocence. What others may see as a desperate desire to be seen or heard is actually an escape from the fear of being punished for wrong doing. When you see this in others, be kind.

If you feel like you're losing everything, remember that trees lose their leaves every year and they still stand tall and wait for better days to come.

If you're feeling frightened about what comes next, don't be. Embrace the uncertainty. Allow it to lead you places. Be brave as it challenges you to exercise both your heart and your mind as you create your own path toward happiness; don't waste time with regret. Enjoy the present, each moment, as it comes, because you'll never get another one quite like it. And if you should ever look up and find yourself lost, simply take a breath and start over. Retrace your steps and go back to the purest place in your heart where your hope lives. You'll find your way again.

just thinking of how our meaning or purpose in life is merely to experience. eating an orange segment, hoping for snow, being in love, returning over and over to one painting, stepping outside for the full moon, submersion in water, having a favourite colour, knowing beauty, feeling alone, feeling connected, feeling longing... it is enough.

Someone recently reminded me that My Best was not going to be the same as someone else's best. Someone else might be a total rock star and be super productive when they're at Their Best! Which is heckin awesome! But that might not be My Best and there's nothing to be ashamed of about that. Sometimes My Best can just be getting up and brushing my teeth in the morning and if that's the case, then I should still be proud of myself! I'm trying my hardest today. There's no need to discredit myself because of how seemingly small my achievements might be. I'm dishing out 200% of my efforts and that's all that matters in the end of the day!
