I could not have said it better. Simple and to the point, our freedom is everything. It’s the foundation for all we create, say and do. I have always supported choice above all because a forced way of life is NOT living. I don’t debate it or argue – that is simply a waste of time. Instead I continue to move forward and thrive. And wherever my journey takes me it’s my free will that gets me there.

Whatever path you decide to take, I hope it brings you the knowledge and experience to evolve as you’ve never imagined. Dream big, never give up, and always be true to yourself. We have the right to live wild and free you so might as well enjoy it

The texture of our lives. How do we fill in the hours, minutes and seconds? What do we surround ourselves with on a daily basis? The texture of our lives is so important. Everything makes a difference. One little thing can affect your day or have a negative impact

We must choose wisely.

I want to fill up my days with rich moments that are memorable. Moments that guide me forward. Moments that light up my soul. It takes a lot of work to avoid negative vibrations but it’s worth it. Once you get to an enlightened level you see things so much more clearly. This is what makes rising above so much easier. You realize what’s not good for you and simply block it. No worry. No fear. Then it just stops coming your way.

Here is when the magic happens.

Invite texture that is meaningful. Honor your space and your time. The more you do, the universe will reflect that to others and life becomes truly worth living

All the Books

I’ve always loved books and reading and have collected quite a few over the years despite moving a ton of times. Yep, those heavy boxes came with me. Mostly art books but a mix of others as well. (I have always wanted to work in a library or book store) So it’s no surprise we would have a large growing library for Elliot. Where do you keep your books around the house?

We have them everywhere but a few main areas store most. Elliot’s room has two bookshelves, the tall one is mostly filled with various stories and the other has a mix of books and toys. There they are grouped by winter/Christmas, little golden books, and board books he doesn’t want to part with yet. Then we have the two shelves in the playroom (which is where we also do lessons) that have our study books. I also keep some in the studio for him. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I also utilize the resources at the library and come out with a bag full or more each week and usually check out the thrift section for new ones. You can’t beat paying 10 cents for a book! We love our local library I always say you can’t have enough books. And I am honored to share the love I have for stories, learning, and reading with Elliot. It’s something that will enrich his life for years to come.

This boy right here is pure sunshine. He’s such a light in my life. And even when times are rough and days are hard – we get through it. There will always be challenges but if there is anything motherhood teaches you, it’s how to be strong. There is no way around it. Elliot’s smile is a reminder to keep going, to keep moving forward. I just love him so much.
