Before You Know It

You can never give up.

There are some situations

that don't go as planned…

But truth be told,

do you ever really know the plan?

Stay focussed.

Continue to believe.

A mixture of your perseverance

and the right time

will unfold before you know it.

Happy Birthday / Feliz Cumpleaños

Today is my birthday.

I've learned many lessons

in my 33 years of life.

I'm grateful to my family,

friends, my other half 

and my baby Millie.

Life has been interesting…

I feel blessed and lucky,

and look forward 

to the years to come.

Hoy es mi cumpleaños.

He aprendido bastantes lecciones

en mi 33 años de vida.

Estoy agradecida a mi familia,

mis amigos, mi compañero,

y mi bebe Millie.

La vida ha sido interesante…

Me siento bendecida y afortunada,

y tengo mucha esperanza

para los anos venideros.

You Can Decide

What are you waiting for?

Time is not guaranteed.

Make the most of your situation

while you're holding on to it.

If things aren't working out,

work it out so you can move on.

Don't get stuck…

The illusion of feeling safe

can handicap you.

It's scary...

but is the alternative 

to walk with your eyes closed

an option for you?

Only you can decide.

4 L's

Vision gives your focus.

Love keeps you inspired.

Imagination opens the door

to all your dreams.

Let go of fear…

choose to laugh along the way.

Live a life that will bring you joy.

Slow it Down

Pause and reflect.

Take a breath,

before you act.

Take time

to understand

what you're thinking.

As life moves so fast,

recognize your ability

to slow it down.

Past and Present

Be patient with yourself.

Be kind to your heart -

Be compassionate to your journey…

it all happened for a reason.

Today be grateful

to the past and present.

And not only your past and present,

but also to those who helped you

become who you are today.

Who Else WIll?

A good way to clear your head,

is to work out a little…

Going for a walk, run,

any form of cardio exercise

will bring on a level of clarity.

Days are stressful,

there doesn't seem to be

enough hours in the day…

but if you don't take the time

for yourself - 

who else will?

OR

I don't care how positive you are,

fear shows up and wants your attention.

But what you do with fear,

is what makes the difference.

Do you give in, lose hope, and give up?

OR

Do you hang on, change perspective,

maybe gain an edge from fear?

Fear is an emotion that can be transformed

into something good by your mind.

Don' let it cripple you.

Use it to make you wiser, stronger…

use it to gain a deeper conviction.

You are exactly where your mind

will let you be.

Simple Rhyme

Doubt a little less,

love a little more…

the past is behind you,

the future's at the door.

The conviction in your heart

is understood by you..

don't let others sway you

from what you can do.

This life is yours - 

hold it while you can…

live life to the fullest,

you are part of a plan.

Competitive

At some point,

being competitive 

became an ugly attribute.

But as I thought about it today,

it depends on how it's used.

Being competitive 

sharpens drive, persistence, determination…

and I don't have to compete with others.

To me, that energy can be used

in more productive ways.

But I can be competitive with myself.

Why?

Because I know my potential,

and when I fall short,

it's not because circumstance

or bad luck.

It just means I can push harder,

focus more, and deliver.

Believe. Love. Be Conscious

All dreams are possible.

The key is to not only give up,

but to allow the time needed

for your dream to be born.

For example,

if you want a baby,

you can't force it

and have it in 3 months….

there is a process,

things have to occur,

things you see and don't.

Be patient because one day,

it will fall into place.

Believe.

Love.

Be conscious.

Open to Love

You may not see it,

but there is a bigger force

playing a role in your life.

Open your mind,

your heart,

your beliefs…

Being open to love.

Love in all forms,

can truly transform your life.

Change Will Occur

Everyday is a new opportunity,

to change what can be better.

Start small, don't try to do everything

all at once.

That's a direct way to disappointment.

Celebrate your accomplishments,

even the small mental ones.

Little by little,

the greater change will occur.

Explore

Your imagination

has infinite possibilites.

Step out of your comfort,

expand your horizons…

enter into the space

of your inner being.

Patterns, behaviors,

emotions and dogma are learned…

there is much more

if you allow yourself to explore.

Feel

How lucky are you,

to be here today?

It's so easy to take life for granted.

Take five minutes,

sit somewhere peaceful 

and look in your heart.

Feel gratitude.

Feel love.

Feel purpose.

Seek to really feel.

Choose Wisely

Situations are not in your control.

What is in your control are your actions.

Choose wisely,

choose with a compassionate heart…

choose while being grounded,

though your choice

may have you chase your wildest dreams.

Anything is possible

with enough consciousness, dedication

but most importantly, persistence.

Remember it Exists

In the midst of confusion,

find your center.

Your balance

will bring clarity,

compassion,

and peace.

Hold onto this energy,

remember it exists.

Truly Rewarding

Best intentions get tried most.

You have to hold onto 

why you're doing,

how you'll do it,

and a desire beyond you.

Goals aren't meant to be easy,

but accomplishing what your heart wants

is truly rewarding.

Four Legged Friend

Sometimes the best way to grow 

is to love something else.

You become more aware of feelings,

purpose, and unconditional love.

It's amazing how a four legged friend,

can change your life.

Time is precious.

Every moment

is truly a gift.

Life is very busy for us all….

but take a few moments,

and really see all the beauty

that lies around you.

You are a blessing.

You have a purpose….

you may not always see it,

but it exists.

You are loved.
