I Am No More Lost Than You

Why is it that you are always questioning where you are, instead of appreciating where you have been led to? You complain that you don't know your purpose, so you are not sure what it is that you're supposed to do. But if you live in the present, you will realize that there is so much to do with your time. Thinking of others besides yourself will keep you too busy to feel sorry for yourself. You are no more lost, than those around you. It's that you are focusing on what you are missing, rather than all the blessings that you have been given. If you want to move forward with purpose, than be no more than who you are at this moment. Share what you have today with others less fortunate than yourself and you will be lost no more.
Keep so busy that you don't have time to feel sorry for yourself...

(I don't know about getting lost, but I'm really good at getting distracted. I don't see the problem with getting lost. The way I figure it, if you get lost too long, the universe has a way to bring you back to your path. With or without your permission.)

Notice Me, I Am Here

Don't ignore me and pretend that I don't exist, for I am a part of your life. The love I have for you has no boundaries and is unconditional. You are all connected in some way and make an impact in each other's lives. You sparkle and change the energy level of the universe each and every day. I am one of the many, who support your efforts in making your life the way you have envisioned it. You may not see me for who I am, but I exist to be an integral part of your past, present, and future. Notice me for I am here for you now and forever.
You are always welcome here...

(Sometimes when I get too busy with life, I forget how much the universe is involved with my life. Whenever I stray too far from my path, it guides me back to where I belong. Today, I met these wonderful people who will be helping me with my writing this month. I'm grateful that the universe always knows when I need help.)

Life Can Be As Simple As You Want It To Be

Just for today, leave your worries and fears behind and do something that makes you smile. Life can be as simple as you want it to be if you let it. You get caught up with all of the "have to" that you don't leave enough room for doing what brings you joy. Sometimes having no plans is a plan in itself. Give yourself permission to walk in the rain without an umbrella, eat desert before dinner, watch a movie in the middle of the week. Thinking too much only weighs your mind with needless worry. You'll find when you leave yourself room to smile, laugh and love, life is yours to do as you please.
Don't wait for someone to buy you flowers...

(I too get caught up with the seriousness of life. I find that I have to work at finding the time to have fun. Although lately it's becoming easier for me. I keep reminding myself that I can create the life I envision, if I want to.)

You Need A Friend

There are times in life when you don't need someone to tell you what you're supposed to do or what you're doing wrong. What you need is a friend. Someone to walk along your side, sharing your life without judgement. Supporting you as you continue on your journey. Although your path may not always be smooth, there is peace in your heart knowing that where ever you go you will never be alone. Trust that the universe will be the friend you wish for, who will always be with you no matter where life brings you. 
Life can be as simple as you'd like it to be...

(How wonderful it would be if we all had friends who would stand by us no matter what. I have great friends who I know will be there if I need their help. It's a great feeling to know that I will never be alone.)

You Are Where You're Supposed To Be

There are times when you question why you are where you are at. You've often told that you are where you're supposed to be. But it doesn't stop you from asking "Why?" You are filled with doubts and questions that you have no answers to. At times you're impatient to move on because it doesn't feel as if you're doing anything of purpose. But there is purpose in learning to be patient and trusting that the universe has your happiness in mind. Knowledge often times comes hindsight. Cherish each moment that you are given because they are all gifts to enjoy.
Memories that stay with you forever...

(Sometimes I get so busy, I don't really think about where I am. There is so much to do within a day. But if I were to slow down, I may start thinking about where my life is going. Which may not be such a bad idea because I do need to stop once, if it helps me to enjoy the moment.)

Let Life Sweep You Away

There are moments when you want life to sweep you away from all your worries and fears. You've been holding on so tight to what you feel you have to do. Your responsibilities have been what keeps you moving every day. But without all that binds you, what would you do. If you could do anything in your life what would it be? Changing careers, go to places you've always dreamed about, do things that you thought were for only others to explore. What if life was without limits? No pushing away all that could be, but embracing all that would be if you open your arms. Welcoming the unknown with anticipation instead of hesitation. When you're ready, put aside all your plans and play for the day. If resting is in order, than do just that.  Everything will be exactly where you left it when you return. It's time for you to live your dreams.
Enjoy this with me...

(Tomorrow there will be no plans. I don't know what it'll bring, but everything will be just as it should.)
