" We all find time to do what we really want to do."

One of the many things nobody ever tells you about middle age is that it's such a nice change for being young again.

"You were singing? I'm very glad, very well, start dancing now."

{ Simplicity }

It is the sweet....simple things of life which are the real ones after all.

"I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning."

{ Time For Cleaning }

Now after all this rainy days I officially gone into post-Winter detox mode, and I figured cutting back to just one dessert a day instead of three would probably be a good place to start....? ;)

 I've also been on a cleaning & simplifying spree over the past May month and have already gotten rid of bags & bags of stuff. It feels so good! After getting done with my “Autumn cleaning”, I felt like I couldn't even think until things were a bit more organized around here. Feeling very grateful for this random motivation I've been having, and hoping it lasts.

{ Sunny Monday }

It was a little rainy the end of last week, but yesterday was more than beautiful. When I got home from work yesterday I opened all the blinds to let in all the fresh new light. Light was streaming in like it had never streamed in before, it seemed. I could finally see parts of our living room I had forgotten even existed! Colors were more vibrant, and everything was more clear. (Yes, our house really IS that dim most of the year...)

I've had a few moments of clarity in my life that I will always remember, and every time seems to involve light. Yesterday was one of those moments. I puttered around for a little while, straightening pillows, wiping the kitchen counters, and thinking to myself of a nonspecific time in the future when everything would all eventually fit together perfectly.

Dance. ~ It's a release of energy that will always bring good mood. Feel free to express yourself by the way you feel, not by the moves you see on TV.



{ Ocean Drive }

Life is different at the sea. Time doesn't move hour to hour but mood to moment. The sea has its way of making you live by the currents and plan by the waves. The only time measurer is the sun and you follow it just to see its majestic rise and fall back into the deep blue.


They say that the sea has no memory. I tend to disagree: she remembers me, you, everyone else who has come to greet her. She also has her ways of making you lose yourself, sweap you off your feet and keep you wide awake just by being there.

She's not perfect, but she's the best I've ever had.

{ A Wonderful Quote }

"Dear normal day. Let me be aware of the treasure you are.

Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart.

Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow.

Let me hold you while I can, for it may not always be so.

One day, I will dig my nails into the earth or bury my face in the pillow

or stretch myself taut or raise my hands to the sky

and want, more than all the world, your return."



"I think every human being will get happy only after facing the difficulties in their life path....

So do not be afraid to face your difficulties. They will push you forward."



" Enjoy your own life without comparing it with that of another."

" If friendship is your weakest point, then you are the strongest person in the world."

{ Breeze }

There's just something so utterly calm and unruffled about napping on a cool, breezy day... while hearing chirping birds and feeling clean breezes lightly blow in from the window... sweet bliss!

{ My Two Gifts From Heaven }

I bid you two this sentiment..


Deep inside of you there is a well. A deep well filled with dreams, visions, and ideas. Thoughts of who you are, of what you will become, of what you have dreamt about your entire life; aching to come out, to be heard.

Today, I can promise you that if you listen to those things, they will become you... because they are you. They are the essence of what you were born to do, who you were born to be.

So today I ask that you listen, & believe. That still small voice inside of you of whispering. It's called your destiny. And today you will find it, because it has already found you. It's time.
