Life Lessons

Monday Motivation has found me, in the form of music. 

When song lyrics send chills down your spine, you know you found something good!

The lyric above is from Lorde's Yellow Flicker Beat, Mockingjay Part 1.

The words sung so sweet, drifted into my head and made me think,

All the hard knocks in life, are often found around life lessons that have

 become well learned. Without the hurt and pain we would never be able

 to learn from the past, these lessons in life are truly 

worth their weight in silver and gold.

Don't be weighed down by the battle scars of life.

Know that with every battle you take on, you will learn a lesson.

Treat these life lessons like precious gems, and apply your new 

knowledge to a better tomorrow.

Dream on Dreamers

What do you dream of accomplishing in life?

 Do you ever feel like your dreams are at the top of a huge scary mountain of doubt?

Do you feel a bit nervous at the idea of attempting to climb this mountain?

Rest assured, you are not the only one.

It is important to understand the magnitude of any endeavor, but equally important is to realize that dreams are obtainable. 

You are the master of your own fate. You have the ability to achieve your dreams.

Never give up on your goals. 

Work hard, dedicate your time, and keep going!

Your dreams are worth the effort.

Late Summer Roses

The end of the week is here, take a little time to stop and enjoy the roses. 

I hope these photos inspire you to take a little time to enjoy the little things in life. 

Written On The Trees

Walking through the woods, I came across this message gently written on a pine tree;

"Love may tear us apart...But fate will bring us together."

This message made me stop in my tracks and think.

Love can be painful.

Love is not always fluffy clouds and star filled nights.

Fate can guide one to find love,

but love is something intangible that cannot be held and locked away.

The only way to hold on to true love, is to reflect the love you wish to have into the world.

“Life and summer are fleeting,’ sang the bird. 

‘Snow and dark, and the winter comes. 

Nothing remains the same.” 
― Elyne Mitchell

Life Unplugged

I took the last few months of summer to actively look for and engage in what it is that I LOVE.

A quest to find and identify what gives me sparks of excitement, and fuels my personal fire. 

For this quest I had to unplug from the screen, and start to actively engage in the real world. 

While I did not document everything with my camera, I could not help but grab a few 

shots of some of the things I saw and experienced on my summer adventures.

I am happy to share a few things I love with you.

 

   

   

   

 

I hope these photos inspire you take some time, and unplug from the screen. 

The world is an amazing place for those who choose actively engage in life
