Knowing and Doing

There is truth in this sentiment and I am not afraid to admit it, I am still learning everyday. I am learning about the world, the people I encounter and of course myself.

Before I was a woman, I was a girl. I laughed, I cried, I wished and I believed. When I be came a woman, I laughed, I cried, I wished and I believed. As a mother I have failed, I’ve fallen, I’ve nurtured, I’ve taught, I’ve learned, but most of all I have passed it on.

The world extends a lesson to me everyday that I am blessed to open my eyes. People I have encountered have taught me to look behind the mask they initially choose to display as it is rarely who or what they truly are. Learning about myself is a never ending task, opportunity and adventure.

R & R…Forward

Much like this photograph, I can see the reflection of yesterday, whilst keeping a keen purview of what is ahead.

Reflection and Rejuvenation this is what I like to do throughout the month of January.

Getting to, through the holidays and ready to ring in the new year always leave me totally spent?

I believe it is important to reflect on who I was, what I accomplished and where I was in the preceding year, how I left it and why it ended the way it did.

I take care to set aside “me” time to properly rejuvenate my spirit by exercising my mind, body and soul. I make every attempt to disavow negativity, I decline participation “in” and ownership “of.” I monitor what and how I treat this temple for it is the only thing I truly possess. I extend love to my friends, family and also strangers, I do this not only in my actions, but also with my words. I share hope without any expectation or reward.

Each day when I open my eyes, I am thankful. I will choose to be refreshed, to have a new perspective and to share that with those I encounter…Forward is my blessing.

The right direction ❤

I personally find performing “Random Acts of Kindness” empowering, because the act of giving something without any expectations has led me to amazing gifts.

When thinking about what you have to share or give, look inward first.
