My Beautiful World



I titled this post “My Beautiful World” not because my world is perfect, in fact it’s far from it. My life is as full of as many disappointments and cracks in the pavement as the next person and there are many missing pieces. But lately I’ve been focusing on the things that make me joyful and realizing that the odd little bubble I live in isn’t so bad after all.
My world like yours is a work in progress, it’s me trying to find all the pieces that fit and letting go of the ones that choose not to fit. I could be sad about the ones that don't fit, and I have been sad, but I’ve come to realize that their absence creates space for other things that I love to expand.

I'm working on filling my world with the things that make me happy. My 'happiest places' are my doggie Miss Charlie, being creative and my obsession with organic gardening and healthy eating.

I’ve learnt that this life is about surrounding yourself with the people who let you shine the brightest and allow you to be the best person you can be and letting go of the people who dampen your flame and squash your spirit.

Everyday I’m learning to be grateful and to be joyful for the life that I have. So much of our lives is a choice and sometimes you just have to step up to the plate and go for it. I'm learning to step up, taking small steps each day to get to the place where I want to be. I'm working towards being bold enough to take the giant steps, to celebrate life by being the loudest drum and dancing with hands in the air!
  
I'm forever creating my beautiful world

Wise Words


I loved this post from Lisa Messenger this morning on Instagram



Lisa Messenger is a recent addition to my list of people who inspire me. A couple of months ago I happened to turn on the TV and stumbled across an interview with Lisa on 'One Plus One'. If you haven't heard of Lisa yet check out the interview and her magazine 'Collective'
We all need role models in our life, people to inspire us to achieve and stretch ourselves.
Who is your role model? Who are the people in your life that inspire you to stretch yourself and achieve your dreams.

Random Thought #1

Sorry I’ve been AWOL, I’ve been busy contemplating life and sorting through some of the dilemmas that remained from the disaster that was 2013. And I’m happy to report that on the important bits I’ve come out on the happier side of life. 

This leads me to a random thought inspired by a post I found on Facebook

Sometimes the things we see as imperfections or flaws in our character can actually be hidden blessings. 

 A negative is not a bad thing when we grow from it.
