Thank your food

The body needs nourishment to survive. We all know this.
Some choose the route of home cooking while some do not.
Some have no time to cook and some don't know how.
I am he ladder.
I never really knew how to cook, and I still really don't.
The difference between who I used to be and who I am now
is that I take the opportunities and I take the adventure.
Who says I can't add some broccoli, asparagus, garlic, and quinoa
into a wok and make a superb meal.
I just did.
I love the taste of fresh cracked pepper & sea salt.
The combination of cumin, coriander, curry, and turmeric make
this soul very happy!

Bon Appetite

Bless you meal for it holds the energy that you need to survive.

Listen to your heart

I've made a move that changes everything that I have ever known.
I knew that I grew from one coast to the middle, but did I think that I would grow moving from the north to the south......

No.

I had no idea how much more I could grow in such a short time.
Being alone is hard. Living along is even harder.

It strengthens a person to live completely on their own.
To come home to an empty home, where only my own thoughts are there to say hello, it can take a toll on a person. However, I have come to realize that maybe, just maybe, this living alone will be a good thing.

How will I know how strong I am, until I test myself?
How will you know how strong you are until you live alone?

I suggest that everyone live alone at least once in their life.
You will be amazed at who you meet along the way.
I spoke with a man tonight that I have worked with for months, but I had no idea that he felt the way that I do about living alone.... not until tonight.
Not until I opened up and spoke my truth.

Speak your truth.

Say what you want, and those who are meant to be in your life will be.
If you don't speak for yourself, who will?

Be the best

I've been noticing lately this strong pull. It does not center around growth or movement. It circles around staying the same. It asks me why change from where you are? Are you that un-happy? Before I have time to answer it tells me I'm not strong enough to change, I'm not strong enough to make myself better.

I woke up today to the sun shining and a slight cool breeze coming in my window. My pledge to myself is to become to best person that I can be. I want lungs free and clear of toxins, a heart that is light, and a mind that focuses on conquering the inner demons that plague them all.

I challenge you all you do the same.

My roommate told me this morning, when you get up each morning, you want the devil to say, oh shit she's up!

Open Road

As a wise man once sung,

"I want to live, I want to give, I've been a miner for a heart of gold."

For those whose lives Neil Young has not influenced, the man is a legend.

The precious songs of Young's career helped to complete my childhood.
I still smile when one of his tunes comes on.

I did not paint this, nor do I have any rights to it.)

This painting is simply for the soul to wonder through. To me it symbolizes the road to heaven and the open road of our lives. 

We are all a part of our surroundings; We are made of energy. 

We live, breathe and love energies. 

Until my next post, I bid you all an Irish blessing,

May the road rise to meet you, 

May the wind be always at your back, 

May the sun shine warm upon your face, 

The rains fall soft upon your fields and, 

Until we meet again, 

May God hold you in the palm of His hand. 

If I hadn't met someone like you

I found this while randomly browsing the Internet via Google.com

I have found that over the years kindness has created love, just as the quote says.
This quote reminds me of my home.
The atmosphere radiates a simplistic world full of complexities.

I bless you, the reader, a cherished holiday season and happy future life. Even if you may be alone for Christmas eve, embrace the magic. I spent last Christmas eve decorating (and re-decorating) the tree with only myself last year. I will do the same in the coming month.

Do not take me for negative however.

I enjoy and cherish Christmas alone... just as some may enjoy being surrounded by friends and family. I survive on the independence that working all season while living alone has on a women. I live to work. I love to live. I love to work. I live to love.

Success

A very important women in my life gave me advice today that is simple and clear.
It is also difficult and challenging to obtain.
She told me,

"Relationships are successful when people 

know how to communicate with one another."

Just one sentence. The meaning of it is profound and applies to everyone.
I believe that this may be one of the life lessons that as humans we must learn to survive.
Not only must we learn this, we must understand it. We must live by it.
It will take time, years upon years to follow and to live by.

Achievement of this goal will better your future relationships.

Achievement of this goal will create peace, happiness and love.

It is very simply. It is very difficult.

I ask of you today to attempt to transform your relationships.

Are you up for the challenge?

The Second Snow Fall

How I love the pale pink sky when the snow first starts to fall.
Don't you agree?
There is something comforting and peaceful about snow falling from sky.

Many times in our lives we may feel inadequate to handle the situations presented to us.
This test defines who we are as humans, and who we are as spirits.
One may start to think...

We are all where we are supposed to be.

You can handle anything. No matter the size; You are capable of it all.
Your dreams are for you to follow.

Seize the opportunity!

Just as the rain waits patiently for 32 degrees.
For dreams to become reality, simply have patience and determination and understanding.
Because just the same the rains waits to turn into beautiful magical snow,
your dreams will turn into your beautiful magical life.
