“Love Your Messy Truth” - It’s beautiful. * Your truth is not ugly. Believe in the beauty of your truth. * Trust is where the beauty begins. Embrace authenticity. Find truth within yourself and share it with the world. Trust in the process. Do not deny yourself by denying your inward truths. * As the tight bud of a flower unfurls its petals, unguarded and open to the possibilities, we must expose our deepest selves, providing the seeds of tomorrow. Denying that we hold these seeds only leads to an unfulfilled life and a timeline of “what ifs?” * Joyfully release these seeds, for holding onto them too tightly will not spread the beauty. * Only in acceptance of our deepest truths are we allowed to gaze upon the beauty of others. * * * * * * #messytruth #authenticity #creativepurpose #writinginspiration #writingtruth #iwrite #beauty #flowerphotography #selfacceptance #creativityeveryday #botanicallover The day I accepted procrastination as a positive word is the day my creative world opened up. From the beginning of June until today, I have wandered. I have captured the moods of the sky as I processed my own emotional upheaval dealing with my Mom’s cancer diagnosis. What I have learned in the Summer of Procrastination, I share with you today: Each day holds the same amount of hours, but those hours do not hold the same amount of living. Each of our choices and manner in which we use these hours add to real living or simply passing the time. Allow yourself the detour of procrastination and lose yourself in the transformative power of following the lead of your creative whims. #creativeinspiration #creativitycoach #creativepurpose #creativityinmylife #creativemindset #mindsetiseverything #artisticlife #writerslife #writerstruggles #montagelagunabeach #californiasunsets #slowdownlookaround Picked flowers from my mother’s gardens and meadow this week to fill her home with the scent of hope. #hopeliveshere #hopewriters #hopelife #flowersofhope #vermontflowers #wildflowerarrangement #gardenofhope As I face my mother’s first chemo treatment tomorrow, I embrace these words. Knowing only some of life is within my control, most often I find myself trying to find the Art of Living within circumstances beyond that control. #artofliving #coping #hopeliveshere #encouragementgallery #eveningsky #vermontskies #ilovevermont #mindsetiseverything #artisticview #artofpoets #writingpoetry #lettinggo #holdingon #writer #hopewriters #writerslife #writerstruggles #hopelife If only I could smell the sweet scent again from my photo. Lilacs are the flower of my earliest childhood memories. Today I breathed in their fragrance once again, closed my eyes and time travelled for a few seconds. #botanicallove #flowermemories #hopeliveshere #creativelifehappylife #ilovevermont #vermontflowers #inspiredbynature After sunset on my first night at my Mom’s house. Missing my Dad especially since it’s Father’s Day. A reminder of the beauty that surrounds the pain and loss in our lives giving us hope for the coming day. #beautyinthesky #vtsunset #hopesurroundsus #hopegallery #hopelife #encouragementgallery #hopeliveshere #grief #lookupatthesky
