I am one with the…

soil beneath my feet.
clouds above my head.
trees that give me shade.
soft breeze that kisses my cheek.
sun that warms me.water that soothes me.
plants that feed me.flowers that tempt me.
moon that lights the way.birds that serenade the sunrise.
animals that roam.insects that cross my path.
rain that pours upon me.snow that tickles my skin.

I am all things nature, all things Earth.
Sincerely connected and magically intertwined… forever loyal to her beauty

She is my light, my darkness and everything in between. I am forever inspired and grateful.

My beloved Mother Earth, you are everything ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

It’s no secret I love animals and adore all the little earthlings that come visit our property. The birds have been quite an obsession for me and as I learn more about them I only love them more. They are so interesting and really are amazing. Lately I’ve been taking some time in the morning and evening to observe and take photos of our little friends. I could sit outside all day and watch them but #life. Here are some pictures I’ve been able to get this week so far. Say hello to the Northern Mockingbird, Carolina Wren, and Mourning Doves that hang out here. I love them all and can’t wait to get more photos soon.

My Flow

This is exactly how I’ve been feeling lately. It’s taken some time for me to find a certain flow, especially this past year. Change has never been an issue for me, I actually welcome it and adjust fine. But with major waves coming through sometimes it’s hard to get above water.

I always find a way to make it work. Always. And this time I slowly accepted what is and actually embrace it. I believe everything happens for a reason. Coincidences don’t really exist. So I take everything as it comes. And sometimes you wake up to what a blessing something can be.

Sadly, there will always be people who will try to bring you down. They may not do it purposely but they are doing it nonetheless. And my response to that is… No one is going to throw me off track. And no one is going to fuck up my flow. It may not be how you would choose to live your life but it’s the best for me and my family. And something we should all want for everyone is happiness. Positive vibes only.

Time to Reflect

As we move forward into the new year it’s a perfect time to reflect on the last 12 months. How did 2020 make you feel? What do you wish you could have done? What are you most proud of? Were there any lessons you learned? Do you have any expectations for 2021?

This past year was significant in many ways for me. I observed the world around me as events unfolded and was left pretty disappointed overall. But I know that I only have the power to change myself – and my life. So I looked within to find the solutions I needed to keep moving. This is always the answer. Only you know what you need to thrive. And I found that immersing myself in nature and avoiding all negative energy was the key.

I feel like 2020 was a gift. And by that I mean it helped me to focus on what matters and pay no mind to what doesn’t. I’m going to sit back with a smile and watch this new year unfold. Many changes are coming and I welcome them all. We don’t evolve when things are stagnant. And as always I look forward to creating, exploring and continue to have hope for new opportunities.

This year is going to be a good one because I have the power to make it possible. And nothing, absolutely nothing, will get in my way.
