never stop yourself from living, loving, hoping and dreaming.

Don’t use your energy to worry. Use your energy to create, to love, to hope and believe.  ~Brigitte Nicole

Sometimes life can be very painful. It gets complicated at the worst of times, and sometimes you have no idea where to go or what to do. Lots of times people just let themselves get lost. But that’s why we have to keep trying. We have to push through all that hurts us, work past all our painful memories. Because sometimes the things that hurt us are the things that make us strongest. A life without experience, in my opinion, is no life at all. And that’s why I tell everyone that, even when it hurts, never stop yourself from living, loving, hoping and dreaming. You deserve it.

Stay strong and don't ever lose Hope ...

╭⊰✿Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate ,And though I oft have passed them by. A day will come at last when I Shall take the hidden paths that run West of the Moon, East of the Sun.  ― J.R.R. Tolkien✿⊱╮ 


 Stay strong and don't ever lose hope Each dawn brings a new beginning and a chance to make things better. The best days of your life are coming. Choose to make that choice. Send that intention into the Universe so it is heard loud and clear.

 "I am strong. I have faith. I am perfectly imperfect and I'm okay with it. I am doing the best I can. I will choose to make happy and positive choices which support me physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I will say "Yes" to all good things coming my way. I will choose to let the painful and the negative dissolve. It is my path and I will find peace in my own way.
I choose to make the rest of my life, the BEST of my Life"

''Sometimes Life is hard , But it makes the sweet moments, So much sweeter .'' 


Often times we get this little image of how life is “supposed to be” in our heads. It’s natural. We thrive on security. Yet our image is nothing more than an artificial idealistic image. Sometimes life plays along with this image but often it doesn't. The universe is the perfect environment to sustain life as a whole, not as a servant to the multitude of different idealistic hopes and dreams of the individuals within it. We will face on a regular basis events and crises which will challenge us and occasionally cause deep hurts.

We can complain about the realities of life pushing ourselves into an un-escapable mire of self-pity or we can courageously accept the situation for what it is. Stand strong, pull up your big boy and girl pants, and then decide the most favorable course of action to take in the given set of unfavorable circumstances. When we develop the resilience to face the unplanned and difficult in an ethical and purposeful way, we will find our inner peace will thrive and our lives will flourish." ~Troy Murphy

Take Everyday as a Special Day!

As each new day dawns, let your mind turn to someone you can appreciate even more sincerely and consciously, someone whose immediate wellbeing is influenced by your moods and attitudes. What greater gift can you offer than your renewed awareness that they are doing their best? Affirm that. Speak up about what's going right. Express your gratitude and forget the rest. Your own happiness will soar. So will your self-respect.


LISTEN to the small, quiet voice within that only ever guides you with love and compassion. Let yourself receive the inspiration of beauty and kindness. Let yourself rediscover peace in your heart. And, from that secure place, meet whatever comes.


To listen well, you must be ready to HEAR what others are telling you. That means making your own mind quiet. And setting aside your assumptions that what you think or have to say is far more important. Listening with a receptive mind, your relationships flourish. Your world becomes far more interesting.

Everything changes when we begin the day, the activity, any moment conscious of gratitude and of grace. Rich in gratitude, we can be far less frightened...far more appreciative. It's gratitude that allows us to be more live, more subtle, less opinionated but surer of what matters. It's also gratitude that connects us most deeply to what is around us...on which, on whom we entirely depend. Every day is a special day.
