  • Create Your Life

    Create Your Life

    Remember that you have the power to create your life instead of letting life happen to you. Moment by moment. It might not feel that way, but even through the hard times, you have a choice. A choice to lead with love for yourself. There are so many times that I didn’t feel this way and was giving my power away. When it feels like other things are taking up too much space, take small moments to fill your cup. Create through writing in a journal or taking 5 minutes to daydream. Imagining the life that you want is a start and it might not feel like it but it is a step forward. Imagination creates possibilities. I know for some this might come easy OR it looks like it’s coming easy but for me, it’s a battle. One that I work on every day. Two ideas to get you started…

    • Take small consistent steps toward your goals

    When I was diagnosed with Dystonia, I thought I would never be able to exercise again. But, then I started with just 5 minutes a day. It will feel like a long road but before I knew it (it was months), I was up to 30 minutes.

    • Create a vision board

    Even if this sounds silly, it worked for me. Some things took years but seeing my vision come alive on a board and setting intentions kept my ideas and wants top of mind. I love looking back at my boards and seeing my accomplishments that have come to fruition.

    And if you’re happy with where you are, don’t fall into the hype of the new year. Just LIVE and enjoy. Society is always pushing us towards something but it’s all about finding what makes you happy, what stirs your soul, and what makes you feel content.

    Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? -Mary Oliver.

    Have a great start to January!

  • See Things How They Are…

    See Things How They Are…

    115037745

    This quote! It always opens my eyes. We navigate our days and interactions based on how “we are”. We make assumptions without realizing we are doing it. There’s no way we can know what it’s like to walk in someone else’s shoes. Our hard might be easy for someone else OR our hard might be harder for someone else. Today I will do my best to see things as they are…

  • Till Death We Do Art

    Till Death We Do Art

    “Till Death We Do Art” – Joe Craven

    This quote really hit me during a dedication to Jeff Austin at the 2019 Grand Targhee Bluegrass Festival. Jeff had recently died unexpectedly. Joe Craven spoke reminding people to share their passion saying, “Tell your story and make your art”.

    Life is hard. Honestly, it’s harder than I expected it would be at this age. There are so many ups and downs. BUT, I can’t imagine having it all end. Sometimes I need to be reminded not to let the negative energy win so I’m passing this on…

    Create the life you want, tell YOUR story, and make your art!

    Don’t let people’s opinions stop you. Don’t let society push you in a direction that you don’t want to go. Don’t listen to the “you shoulds”.

    If tomorrow wasn’t coming, what would you do today?

    Feel that freedom and LIVE A GREAT STORY!

  • Let Go

    Let Go

    We attain freedom as we let go of whatever does not reflect our magnificence. A bird cannot fly high or far with a stone tied to its back. But release the impediment, and we are free to soar to unprecedented heights. – Alan Cohen

    Let go of the negative and make room for the positive. 💛

    Today as we start the week, if something or someone is holding you back, try hard to release that energy or find distance from that person. Life is short and every passing moment is a new opportunity to find your happiness.

  • Please Believe It

    Please Believe It

    You look in the mirror and see yourself, but really, it’s not you at all. I mean, there’s your eyes and your nose and your cute little smile, but that’s to all there is to you. Because you’re not seeing the amount of lives you’ve touched in your presence. You’re not seeing all the people you’ve made smile and laugh. You’re not seeing how strong you are. In fact, all the battles you’ve overcome are completely invisible when you look in the mirror, hidden beneath your outside features. So, my darling, listen to me when I say this: you are not as simple as a reflection. You are complex, wonderful and something brilliant that a mirror simply does not have the capability to show. It’s only showing one tree in the forest, one star in a galaxy, one grain of sand at the beach.

    And you are so much more than that.

    Please believe it.

  • Moonlight in Kanab, Utah

    Moonlight in Kanab, Utah

    We danced too wild, and we sang too long, and we hugged too hard, and we kissed too sweet, and howled just as loud as we wanted to howl, because by now we were all old enough to know that what looks like crazy on an ordinary day looks a lot like love if you catch it in the moonlight. – Pearl Cleage

    I captured this photo in Kanab, Utah on a beautiful April evening. This quote is from my box of 365 quotes that I purchased at Hummingbird House in Sedona, Arizona.

    When I read the quote, it reminded me of how I feel when I travel. ❤️
