Good Morning, Sunshine!

"You fill up my senses
Like a night in a forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again" ~ Annie's Song by John Denver

Good Morning, Sunshine!

I just returned from visiting my Gram in NC and what a JOY it was to spend time with her!!! The BEST was Strawberry Shake Day!!! She was ordering soup & a grilled cheese when I asked her what she would like to drink. I told her what they had & mentioned that they even had shakes. Her eyes lit up & she didn't hesitate...I want a Strawberry Shake...I haven't had one in years!!! Now, this is a woman who has a small cup of soup & 1/2 a sandwich to eat... & who will then probably be too full for dinner or might have the other 1/2 of the sandwich. She drank the whole thing...the glass that they serve it in as well as the whole one left in the metal shaker!!She took it into the car to finish....I told her she could put it in the cup holder if she wanted. She eyed me & said I don't think so...I laughed & asked innocently, "Don't you trust me?". Let me tell you....the answer was no...she wasn't going to risk it!;)LOL

Is there something you Love that you haven't experienced in awhile? Drinking a shake? Blowing bubbles? Roasting marshmallows? What's stopping you? Today do it & feel the JOY!!!

Good Morning, Sunshine!

"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." ~ Rumi

Look in the mirror...really look into your eyes. What do you see? Feel LOVE radiate from their depths & see the beautiful Light of YOU...Be prepared to be overwhelmed by the magnificence!! If you don't see it or feel it right away, don't worry...it's there. Just let the barriers drop away...& remind yourself it is safe - safe to look at YOU...YOU are LOVE!

Good Morning, Sunshine!

This May: I have been divorced for a year, I celebrated the 3rd anniversary of my Spiritual awakening, & it is my official birth month....yes, I'm a Gemini:) It is the month that I chose to release the picture in my mind of who I thought I was supposed to be....a water-downed version of myself I didn't recognize or connect to....& decided to instead become the person I am meant to be. I freed myself from the opinions of others as I realized my path is mine.  I released the limits I had put upon myself for what was possible in my life...& decided the world is my playground. I don't know how things will unfold, but am HAPPY to be on this journey...as I continue to discover what makes me ME...& to explore all the wonder-filled experiences life truly has to offer ...with an open heart, a sparkle in my eye, & my theme song playing in my mind (ok...I admit...I'm not sure which one I want...but I want one;))

Why share all of this? More Spring cleaning;) 

What is holding you back from being all of YOU? The YOU you were born to be?  Is it a job? A relationship? Or is it the limits you've placed on yourself?  Release or work on whatever is keeping you from being YOU!  The world needs your light...& you need your HAPPY!;)

Good Morning, Sunshine!

Today you are going to think about the people in your life. Are you surrounded by people who inspire, encourage, ....& are all around positive&HAPPY? Are they the people who laugh uncontrollably with you as well as open their arms to you when you need to cry? What kind of people do you want in your life? You get to choose...so release those around you who continuously zap your energy...because you are going to need every bit of it to make those dreams happen! I can't wait to see your dreams come true!! Makes me smile BIG just thinking about it! Have a super SHIMMERY day!

Good Morning, Sunshine!

 What are you thinking about this morning? That it is time for more Spring Cleaning?;) Today give all your worries away...you don't need them...set them free!! Picture them flying away on the breeze...never to return!! Feeling lighter already?  Without the worries, you will have even more time to dream...& more room to notice all the precious wonders around you every moment!! Your thoughts will fill with gratitude...& JOY will be coming along for the ride!!!
