Life is made up of a collection of moments that are not ours to keep. The pain we encounter throughout our days spent on this earth comes from the illusion that some moments can be held onto. Clinging to people and experiences that were never ours in the first place is what causes us to miss out on…

You will always be okay! Money and material things come to you when you dare to trust in life’s ability to take you exactly where you need to go. When we live in fear we create tense vibrations that keep the things we long for at a distance. Worrying is praying for what we don’t want to happen.…
We are all in charge of our own happiness. Life does not happen to us, it happens for us!
Reminding myself that there is never a need to question the universe. Trust. Trust. TRUST. Things happen for a reason - and sometimes that reason is for you to leave your yogi smile at the door and start kicking some serious ass. Warrior up! Do no harm but take no shit. Life is way too short and…
Don't dig up in doubt what you planted in faith.
One day this will all make perfect sense. Trusting in this golden sunset that magically appeared in the middle of a rainstorm this evening. There is light in the dark. Sunsets in the storms. Beauty in the chaos. Lesson of the evening: don't lose faith.
the sunset whispers secrets of love. of love and loss. of love and loss and pain and truth and all the gorgeous moments that we can never truly grasp until they're gone. this is it. it's this, here, where you are. it's not outside of the edges that color your beating heart; its within. so... stop…
I think the key to living a good life lies in the little things.
Find beauty in the unexpected. Most of the magic you'll find sprinkled around you throughout this lifetime won't be part of the plan. The big loves, the long laughs, the starry nights and the truly great moments will never scheduled. Ease up a bit. Release control.
Surround yourself with people that you can be vulnerable with. People that make you feel normal in all of your weirdness. That live their lives according to their own rules and that give you the freedom to be yourself just by being who they are. Kind people. Good-hearted people. Free spirits.…
At the end of it all we just want to watch the sunset together with the people we love.

we come from the earth we return to the earth in between... we garden.
There is a fire within your heart. Use it to light up the world!
I sit down and I close my eyes and I'm alive, really alive. Maybe more alive then I've been in a long time. More alive than I was before there was death in my life. It's a good feeling; knowing that death killed a part of me but brought life to another. There is a balance to it all and today I…
The only way to make peace with who you are is to make peace with your past. Explore your childhood. Your history. It brought you here and it made you who you are; but is this you at your fullest potential? Do you see love in everything? Is this your purpose?
I don't trust easily, and I don't give second chances. I'm messy. I'm emotional. I love hard and get upset about little things. I take everything personally. I want to fix everyone, even if they're not broken.
I've come to terms with the fact that I'm broken. Not in a sad way, just in an it-is-what-it-is kind of way. Life happened and I've adjusted accordingly. We're all a little bit shattered. Pain and heartache comes our way and with time we develop patterns that we think will protect us... But that…
The biggest change within me is that when I feel, I really feel. A lot. A lot and right away. I can't push things down below the surface anymore. I don't want to. No more smiling to assure others, no more pretending, no more saying "I'm fine" when I'm not. I've been so happy and at peace every day…
In a society that profits from your self doubt liking yourself is a rebellious act.
