Loved

I've done took this and Lynified it!
Hope it reaches whomever needs it ...

Some days are not perfect,

and that's okay.

You don't have to be strong

every day.

It's okay to feel tired.

It's okay to feel lost.

It's okay to feel a little broken.

It's okay to feel sad.

You have to be kind to yourself.

Give yourself grace.

Give yourself a moment.

Give yourself time.

Know that you are loved.

Hope

Hey kids!

I have returned.

Spent an extraordinarily amazing week in northern Yellowstone.

Mostly rested and rejuvenated.

A beautiful wish on your Tuesday.

Hope

is the quiet belief

that even

in the darkest moments,

tomorrow can bring

something beautiful.

Have a terrific week.

Words

So there were words last night.
As exhausted as I was,

I crawled out of bed 

to someplace with light enough to write

and I jotted them down.

We shall see where they take me.

When you learn to follow what's given ...

whether it's words

or notes

or images ...

the path you travel

can be simply extraordinary!

I hope, for this week,

that you follow

the gifts you've been given

and share the hope

in your heart.

See you when I see you kids.

Stay buoyant, beautiful and blessed.

People

I had the distinct blessing
to run into, not one, but TWO
fantabulous people
in one day ~ in the same place.

The sheer magnitude of gratitude

nearly brought me to tears.

The people

that we meet

change the way

we greet

the world.

So thankful 

for the flowers

that are planted

in my path.

Enough

Another gem!

Some days

aren't about productivity,

they're about presence.

Water your plants.

Text someone you miss.

Tell your person you love them.

Make your favorite drink.

Read a book.

Write a poem.

Draw or paint.

Sit in the quiet.

Let the small things

be enough.

Have a fantastic Friday!

Kindness

Found this and truly needed to share it.

One day, a stranger will remember you.

Not your name - they lost that years ago.

They'll remember that you

let them go first on a terrible day.

That you told a tired cashier

to take her time.

That you said,

"you're doing better than you think"

to someone who was

about to silently give up.

You will never know

which of your smallest kindnesses

is still alive in someone's memory,

still doing it's quiet work.

That's the secret;

none of it disappears.

Kindness has no funeral.

It just keeps living in people,

long after you've walked away.

The two lines that truly made me pause ...

none of it disappears

kindness has no funeral

Life Lesson #234723946234

Oh heck yeah ...

Accept people as they are,

but place them

where they belong.

Always remember

you are the CEO of your life.

Acceptance frees you

from trying to change anyone.

Boundaries

protect your peace.

Not everyone

receives the same access,

the same closeness,

or the same seat at your table.

It's not cruelty.

It's self respect and preservation.

Enjoy your day, my friends!
