It's never too late to change the direction of your life..

This is true.. I woke up and decided I didn't want to feel like that anymore.

And what I mean by that is not taking care of ME. I was so busy worrying about fitting in or getting the approval of others I wasn't taking care of me. When someone would walk out of my life. I would spend more time in my life beating myself up about what I may have done wrong or that I wasn't good enough or worthy. I spent more time dwelling on the past that I did enjoy each day God have given me. I was allowing toxic people in my life to hurt me. Because I wasn't taking care of me I was building walls up and instead of letting go and moving on I felt stuck. But, I just woke up one day and decided I don't want to feel like that anymore or ever again, so I changed. And you can too! It's never too late. 

It's time to remove the walls!

It's TIME for change! I will no longer put myself last. I will start taking care of  ME!

Never too late to make that change!

Sometimes when you start taking care of YOU, it requires you to let go of certain people in your life that you have kept around. That you love. Which is very hard to do, but so very necessary to move forward and to enjoy your life. 

When you finally decide to take care of YOU.  You learn to let go of what others think and truly love yourself. Take each day and live it. Not worrying about the past, just loving yourself and you life. Loving the people that are in it, and not dwelling on the people who choose not to be. 

Having a heart full of gratitude for your life.

That's when true happiness will happen in your life.

Be Good to You!

I love this! It is so important to be good to ourselves. I spent so many years being so good to everyone else. I often forgot about myself. Not anymore. :)

Do you ever feel like you don't know which way to go...

Life can be so confusing at times. It seems at certain times in my life I feel like I should be going in a direction. But, there's always something that stops me. It leaves me confused and not sure of which direction to go. It can be very tiring. It can leave you feeling just down right exhausted. I guess the best thing to do, is just thank God for the day you have in front of you and the blessings you have right now. And try again. Never give up.

As hard as it is for your kids to grow up..

It's also a blessing to watch them grow up and become their own person.. My daughter is so beautiful and makes me so proud.. As does my son. But, to watch her become a mommy has been such an amazing feeling.. I am so blessed.. ❤️

She's growing so fast..

She's already past 3 weeks & getting such a cute little personality.. I love her so much.. <3

This is how I spent my Friday night..

And totally loved every minute of it.. So in love with her.. ❤️

I'm a grandma..

It's so hard to believe that I'm actually old enough to be a grandma at the age of 42.. But I am. And proud of it. :)  My beautiful daughter brought a beautiful little girl into this world.. She is perfect in every way.. I'm so in love with her.. 

My beautiful baby is having a baby..

Where has the time gone. I remember hearing that from the older folks back in the day and now I hear myself saying it and I'm constantly thinking it.. But it's true when they say.. Don't blink! I'm so proud and so happy for my beautiful daughter to be bringing another beautiful girl into this world. She's gonna be a great mommy.. Her baby shower was amazing!!! Only 5 weeks left for lil Miss Olivia Rose to make her entrance into this world.. Can't wait to meet her.. 💕

Make the rest of your life an inspiring story..

You will never have to force anything if it's truly meant to be..

This is so true.. I have spent a lot of the last year trying to force something to be. But, have now realized that it just isn't meant to be.. Because if it was meant to be, I wouldn't have had to try to force it, it would have just fallen into place. Letting go is refreshing after realizing this. To new beginnings.. <3 Happy Sunday! 

Do what makes your soul happy..

I love to have paint on my hands.. It does my heart good. It's true when they say Art is healing. It has healed me in so many ways. Everytime I've been through a struggle, I've turned to Art and it takes me to a different place. I'm hoping when I do my Creative Kids Art Workshop at the Children's Hospital. Even though it can't heal them physically, my hope is it will do some healing in their little souls and it'll take them to a different place. They will then know that when they are hurting inside they can turn to Art to help them through. <3

Peaceful Saturday mornings..

I love my Saturday mornings.. No alarm clock.. Yay! Just quietness, coffee and I can do whatever I choose.. Mostly it's to just be still.. relax and enjoy the peacefulness of the morning.. I often doodle, but hands down it's my favorite day.. <3

Hope you all have a great weekend!!

Chasing your dream alone..

I am a dreamer, I dream big!! I have a desire in my heart for things I want so badly. I've faced lots roadblocks, huge bumps and have shed many tears while chasing my dreams. There have been times I've just felt like giving up.. I often have tried to share my dreams with friends and family.. But they don't seem to have interest in what my heart desires, and for a long time I let that hurt me and keep me back at times from chasing my dreams. I thought I needed the approval, or encouragement that my dreams were good.. Until one day I found myself alone and sad because I felt like my dreams were never going to become a reality.. Hurt by the people who didn't support me or believe in me. But then I realized this dream is in ME! Not them.. They don't get it. They don't feel it. They don't feel the burning desire inside like I feel. That's why their not interested.. And that's ok. It's ok to be alone and chase YOUR dreams.. You don't need to wait for others to support you or believe in you. You just need to believe in yourself.. God has put that desire in your heart for a reason. Don't let it go.. Keep chasing them! You will thank yourself later. I promise.. <3

Feel the fear but do it anyway..

Have you ever been so afraid to do something, you want to run the other way? 

That's how I feel right now!! I have had a life long dream to encourage and inspire others.. To give to people who can't give back. To share my heart and talent that God blessed me with.

So I am doing a Creative Kids Workshop at a Children's Hospital. It has been on my heart for as long as I can remember, but I've always made up excuses of why I couldn't do it. Being so afraid to fail them that I wouldn't do it. Well, my insecurities are flying high these days!! You're not good enough, their not gonna like it, etc etc.. Not gonna listen anymore to the negative voices in my head.. So, I'm going for it.. It's time to feel the fear but do it anyway. There's no stopping me this time! I won't ignore that nudges God has been giving me any longer.  Wish me luck! 

Finally playing with paint again..

Today I picked up my pencil n paints and played a little. It feels good.. ❤️

And so, she decided to start living the life she'd imagined..

I love to travel.. ♡

Went on vacation.. A cruise to Catalina Island & Mexico. I've been on this cruise before and loved it. But each time was a different experience. Different people and did different stuff.. But both times were amazing! A few pics to share. I will add more later.. 

Beautiful Catalina Island from the top of the mountain.  Breathtaking to say the least! 

Beautiful Mexico.  Amazing how we drove thru the poor little town to end up on this amazing beautiful beach! The waters were gorgeous! I loved it there! 

Can't wait for my next vacation! ♡

It is well with my soul.. 💕

A dream is a wish your heart makes..

 

 

Don't ever give up on your dream.. There is a reason why it's there. I have had a dream for a very long time, and it seems like there has been walls I've had to climb, and roadblocks every time I try to go forward with it.. but, I am realizing now that they are just lessons that I have to learn before my dream can become a reality.. It would be so easy to give up and throw in the towel.. but when your heart wishes so hard for this dream..  As mine does.. You just can't give up!! So, no matter how hard it seems or how impossible your dream may feel.. KEEP GOING!! Follow your heart!! Never let go of that dream, keep fighting for it.. Believe in it, until it becomes a reality.. <3

New online classes coming soon!!

Take time to do what makes your soul happy..

 

The End.. <3
