Inspiration Monday :: Letting

let go 

of things you no longer need

with grace

and thank them for how they served you 

when you needed them

because now is new

and boundless opportunity awaits

let go of what you know

to make space for what is next

each moment is a choice

an offering

slow down

listen

there are feathers 

falling from the sky

Inspiration Monday :: Growth and Change

"The only way we can live is if we grow. The only way we can grow is if we change.

The only way that we can change is if we learn. The only way we can learn is if we are exposed. 

And the only way we can become exposed is if we throw ourselves out into the open.

Do it. 

Throw yourself."

~ C. Joybell C.

Be radical

Be different 

Seek

Explore

Listen

Embrace magic

There is a divine spark inside each and every one of us.

with God and with eternity.."

Inspiration Monday :: Notes from Nature

"If there is a room inside of me

with your name written in it

the language it is written in is a lovely one.

One of figs and birds

and beaches the color of butter.

The walls blue, and at least one of them

made from nothing but windows

Another has shelved of speckled stones.

The light pours across the floors

and the trees outside

burn with song."

- Anis Mojgani
