Gratitude matters. It all starts with gratitude.

When I eat good, I feel good.

A little chocolate everyday is wonderful.

Mischief is magic.

I’m at my best when I play.

My gut always knows.

Nothing makes me present like being in the company of animals.

I need movement, physical movement, in my life.

Pinterest is a happy place.

I have everything I need.

It’s still fun to want some things, though.

It will happen when the time is right.

I must have plants indoors.

The better I know my tribe, the more of service I can be.

Relationships are worth cultivating.

My intention for the year is already taking shape.

I can do things at my own pace.

I can do them in my own way.

Once I know the rules, I can break them. Go beyond.

I must spend time with girlfriends.

Solitude is nurturing. So is party time.

Each day is worth celebrating.

Greatness & ordinariness are close cousins.

Art matters.

Patience is within reach.

Things flow better when you do what works instead of what everyone says you SHOULD do. No matter how much those things work for them, they may not work for you.

Listening is grand ….

what i know is true today, in this moment, is that it was a good day to let myself let it just be okay to not have to accomplish a SINGLE THING EVEN THO IT IS THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.

it was a good day to baby myself, the world around me has been tough on me. so mothering me has been the most responsible thing i could have done today.

amazing. maybe i’m finally getting it.

it doesn’t always have to be 24/7. even God rested on the 7th day.

Just because fog is obstructing the view, the view is still same within the fog.

Solitude is nurturing – so very true.
What I know today? – the best defense is no defense, starting small is better than not starting, and life is all about the relationships you create.
