Reflect

How often to you reflect on how far you’ve come?

Step back and remember where you were last year.

You made it here.

Bask in gratitude for you are still here, you’re still growing, you’re still fighting and the good fight.

Some things may not be as you would like them, but life is a progression.

It’s a process.

Be still and remember you are doing your best.

Keep moving forward.

It’s always good to take time to reflect on how far you’ve have come.

It helps us to find peace within the new challenges in life.

There will always be challenges, but they don’t have to overtake you.

Sit back and breathe, you’re doing a good job.

Breathe in Life

Life is better at the beach. 🏖️

  • Take time to take care of you.

Life blows by.

All of a sudden, it’s the next year. The next season, or the next century.

How often are you slowing down to remember what brings you joy and peace?

How often are you remembering to breathe. Not just to live, but to feel life.

Be with this moment.

Breathe in this moment.

Life goes by quickly.

Stop counting the second and the regrets.

Start counting your blessings and your breaths.

💜

Place Road Beeach – 7/15/25 – – taken with my Nikon camera 📸 I have so much gratitude for this beach, and my wonderful camera. 🙏🏻

There are edits done to this image. I will be changing it up to be ready for print.

If anyone is interested in prints of any of my photographs, I will be adding a section to my website for this.

Thank you for your support. 💜

Crossroads

We can chase and chase who and what we think is right for us, but we won’t ever make it there…

And it will never work.

What is right for you won’t require chasing.

What is right for you won’t require anything other than allowing.

Make it a priority to be there for yourself.

Whatever is meant for you will show up.

It won’t require you to follow a path that takes you into dark, unpaved forests.

It will show you light, just as you show up with your own light.

And when you find those people and those things in life that are meant for you,

You won’t have to wonder if they are right for you.

It will feel right.

The motions won’t feel forced,

They will feel natural.

The give and take will be balanced, naturally,

Just as the waters of the ocean are absorbed into the clouds and then rain back down to shower the earth.

You won’t have to wonder if you’re doing the right thing,

You won’t wonder if you’re supposed to feel so alone and lost in those places or with those people you chased…

You will feel balanced.

There are moments in life when we are left wondering…

Is this job right for me?

Is this friendship right for me?

Is this partner right for me?

Is this life what I want?

We are always going to meet a crossroads, with all things in life.

We must look and see what our feelers are telling us.

Is my happiness to the right?

Is it to the left?

Did I lose it somewhere on that road behind me?

Happiness is peace.

No matter which road you choose,

Happiness will always be something that you must learn to obtain on your own, from within.

Outside circumstances can show us what is aligned with us, but we ultimately choose our own happiness.

Sometimes what’s on the outside, in those surrounding areas, with people or without, is what shows us the way to the destination we feel will be most peaceful and fulfilling.

A crossroads is always a great start to a new journey.

Though, it’s not about which road to go down, each road will have challenges.

It’s about which challenges you feel you are able to take on.
