Everyone blossoms at their own pace. I hope that you all have had the space to blossom this year. I certainly have.

As we head into the holiday I think of all the things I’m grateful for and feel very lucky to be here. And even though this year has been a crazy one it has shown me so many things, both good and bad. I take what I learn and move forward. There is no other direction to go.

I continue to be open minded, kind, and curious – which has always helped my journey in a positive way. I am not one to follow, never was. And I’m determined to create the life I want. I would say that’s an awesome recipe for success and happiness.

Allow yourself to be open to the ever changing rhythm of life and never force adaptation. Live with intention and know your boundaries. The act of blossoming is an organic process, it happens when you surround yourself with high vibes and good energy. So rise up if you’re feeling like you need a boost. Take control and steer yourself in the direction that is best for you, one step at a time. And you will see how life unfolds.

Stay Positive

No matter what happens in your life it’s so important to stay positive and and surround yourself with good energy. At times it’s hard but remember there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Darkness doesn’t last long, it just may feel like that because you are choosing to hide there. The shadows can sometimes eat you alive… be strong and allow yourself to shine. Always stay true to who you are but also strive to learn and grow. Smile, radiate and free the light within you.

The sun is shining and it’s a beautiful day. Lately I’ve felt the weather shift a bit and I’m enjoying the cool breezes and crisp air. Autumn is upon us and I’m not complaining. Our veggie garden is still thriving but needs more care. The tomatoes are the only plants producing less but we got soooo many these last few months that I’ve been able to share with others. The cucumbers and peppers are going strong and the green beans aren’t done yet. Plus, we have lots of lettuce to pick and new plants starting to grow, including spinach. This is my happy place. Our garden gives me peace and allows me to be productive while relaxing AND it’s just so gratifying. This process is a life lesson we all need to be reminded of: If you work hard, have patience and put love into something it will flourish and give you many gifts. This applies to everything. And I’ve truly lived it with my business. I put in the time, the love, and the most work I’ve ever done to grow Gray Star Design, sacrificing many things along the way. And it’s all paid off. I am in the midst of rebranding the biz and giving my website a full makeover, which is long overdue. I am restructuring my services and excited to offer new packages. Looking forward to sharing it all with you soon! For now, I am enjoying this view and ready to take on the day. Wishing you all an amazing Thursday.

Misty cloudy days give us a moment to reflect. Without the sunshine fueling our soul with energy it’s a perfect time to pause and breathe. I’m sure we all could use some peace and silence. Take it. Be grateful you are here, even though ‘here’ may not be where you want to be. Another day has been offered and you have the opportunity to make it a good one. Happy Tuesday!
