Comfort

You don't choose your family.  

They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.  

~Desmond Tutu

Comfort

There are times in your life when you need to give comfort to those in need.  Then there are times in your life when you are the one who needs to be comforted.  It's in these times that you see the true face of humanity and compassion.  Let yourself be open to receiving all forms of support. Let someone give you strength when you can't muster up your own.  Let someone provide you a shoulder to rest when you are too tired to keep your head up. Allow your heart to feel all of the love that is surrounding you and never underestimate the capacity of another human being to lift you up in a time of great pain.  

Roar

I got the eye of the tiger, the fire, dancing through the fire

cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me ROAR

~lyrics from Katy Perry's song "Roar"

Roar
You have sat silent long enough. It's time to let your voice be heard. You matter in this world. Your thoughts matter.What you do matters. How you feel matters. What you say matters. Do not let yourself be silenced. Do not let the fear of change stop you. Listen to the fire within and finally let yourself roar!

Take It All In

The place you are right now

God circled on a map for you.

~Hāfez

Take It All In
We are going at such a fast pace most of the time that we rarely take the moments to stop and feel the full impact of where we are, what we are doing or who we are interacting with. In the hastiness of trying to accomplish so much, we numb ourselves to our daily interactions or just see certain accomplishments as a quick thing we were able to do and now on to the next thing! Not stopping to connect to what you are doing is cheating yourself out of having the full experience of life. Not being fully present in any given moment robs you of the true happiness and connection that you were meant to feel.  It's time to show up in all that you do and not only be present in the moment but take it all in. Let yourself feel connected to each second. By doing this you not only connect to the moment but to everything around you and you will walk away with a heart full of joy.
