Picture perfect moments vs reality

Picture perfect moments are single seconds captured in a frozen moment pose. Reality?… Well that’s real life, raw true million second moments that run together to create your life.

Picture perfect moments?.. well we can recreate those.. but reality?…those moments come and go… They are the highs and lows of life…

Reality moments have a beautiful raw beauty in itself… They are the simple moments that we sometimes take for granted, the moments that sometimes seem too difficult to deal with and we rather disappear or run away… But those are the real moments that truly shape us, that allows us to grow and become a better person..

The picture perfect moments are amazing to look back and make us smile because it all seemed too perfect. But in reality? …we have to take the highs with the lows, it’s part of the balance of life…

We can’t enjoy what we know to be the good, the easier days without knowing what the bad, harder or the painful days feels like….

We can’t truly enjoy today like there is no tomorrow if we didn’t have the one day, no tomorrow…

I love and appreciate all the picture perfect moments that makes awww at them… But before those pictures were taken to capture perfect moments, we have hard, painful and low times that we didn’t capture with our camera…

For example, this picture may look perfect, in a way it is, but it doesn’t mean that it’s always perfect. This moment came with previous fights, disagreements, cries, screams, tantrums, fits, toys thrown and well.. many other not so fun moments when you are in the middle of that storm…..

It’s never truly always perfect like the pictures we keep. It’s the highs and lows, hard and easier days, it’s all mixed up together to create your unique, special, beautiful life that are not always captured in our phones or printed in our albums…. But in reality… it’s what allows us to appreciate what we truly have….our not so perfect life but amazing and a blessing every day that we are here to experience it…🙏💗

Connection with nature

Connecting with nature is healing. It brings us to a place of peace within us.

Our home is a place of comfort, and safety. It gives us warmth, security, shelter. Equally important is the necessity to get out of our confined space and connect with nature. It gives us what we need to survive. The sun gives us heat and energy. Clouds can give us shade. Rain can provide us with water and hydration. The trees gives us oxygen to breathe…. We are surrounded by life forces. Lets connect with nature often to fill ourselves with energy necessary to feel balanced.

During this pandemic a lot of us are working from home. Our kids schools are being taught in the home via computers. Entertainment and events are broadcasted via TV or internet. Our children’s games and play time are often via social media and electronics.

Now more than ever for our children and our own happiness and physical and mental wellbeing, we need to connect with nature, with all the beauty that surrounds us.

Whether it might be sitting outside to eat, drink a cup of coffee or tea. listening to the birds, the wind, the rain. Going for a walk or run. Going for a bike ride, alone with family or friends. Going for a dip or swim in the pool. Going to the beach, sitting on the sand, swimming in the ocean. Going to a park to observe, relax, walk, hike, have a picnic. The outdoors will bring healing and joy. All places of love and peace.

Enjoy this beautiful day full of wonders and adventure.

Unspoken words..

The unspoken words that have been trapped inside for so long have been discovered. Upon their release, they encounter the most beautiful blue skies, a warm breeze and peaceful bird songs….. Unspoken words set free transforming into melodic symphonies…. The most beautiful sounds traveling the earth. Those who listen are filled with nothing more than love and peace…. The unspoken words kept isolated and burried deep down are no longer in the darkness…. They are now in the light, a force of energy that is recognized by anyone who listens, creating a ripple of sounds waves that will last a lifetime…..

Letting go

Letting go of what no longer serves us…. To make room for all the good things that will come our way…

Whatever happened in our past allowed us to be shaped into who we are today. Our past wounds are ready to heal… Let’s forgive others, more importantly ourselves…to let go and be present, the now is all we have… We are the creators of our beautiful life. Let’s not dwell on what happened or what can not be changed… forgiveness will heal…. Find love, peace in our hearts…. That is what we are made of, love and only pure love…. Yes the paint of the past can leave a stain in our minds… But with fresh paint every day, to begin again… To create a beautiful masterpiece of our lives…. You are in control of your art piece… Only choose the colors you love…it’s your beautiful creation….. It’s a beautiful new day…💗☀️🙏

Looking out to sea…

We look far out to sea and its hard to picture what is beyond that. We see what seems the end, a pronounced line, finite to our eyes but denied by our mind. We know that there is more out there, more to see and explore.

Sometimes we let our eyes define what we can achieve in our lives because it can be difficult to perceive what is beyond that, beyond the unknown……We as humans have the potential to envision our dreams, our aspirations, our passions, using our imagination…….. It is so important to take time to reflect, to connect with ourselves, and to connect with the universe. We don’t always have to see whats ahead with our eyes to believe is there. If we use our imagination, have faith and start to move forward with small action steps towards our dreams, one day that vision will come true….

A brand new day….

Today we are blessed with a brand new day, a new opportunity to live our truths, to be the best version of ourselves. Don’t cover your feelings. Let them be your guide, your friend that wants to lead you the way to who you truly are. Be you, love you for your unique self. We are here as a miracle, to fulfill a purpose. Whatever that may be…. Listen to your heart. That it is ok, we will try the best we can. We are the only ones we can change, no one else but us. It’s a brand new day, a new opportunity to try again, with love and patience.

The beach….

The beach, the sand, the ocean, a place where we go to play, build, sit, swim, run, meditate, pray, admire, do yoga, get married. People of all races, ethnicities, religions, social and sexual preferences. All accepted unconditionally by the massive, breathtaking, sand and ocean. No questions asked when we show up alone, as a couple, with a group of friends, family, to do it is we love, while admiring it’s energy it gives us. It’s the reason we are attracted to it. When we can walk up to the ocean to admire the ocean waves, sometimes walking a little closer to feel the water against our feet as they slowly get buried a little deeper. When then it’s our time to depart, to go home and we bring a little back with us, a little sea salt on our skin a little bit of sand particles tangled in our hair and feet. We then take a shower and we feel like new, replenished, more relaxed, a little more alive.

Let’s remember what the beach gives us and take care of it like it’s taking care of us. My run on the sand this morning was filled with plastic caps, juice straw wrappers and old and fresh beer cans that seemed to have been enjoyed the night before. Let’s remember to respect and protect this beautiful place. Let’s clean our space when we come to visit the beach……
