So to say I have a lot going on in my life is an understatement…and to say I feel like my head is just above water is probably a great way to describe it…but to also say that me growing as a person is at a all time high and what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger is right on!

Allow me to quote my girl T Swift “Rain came pouring down when I was drowning That’s when I could finally breathe” love that!

At times I hate to show vulnerability or that I can’t “handle” all life throws at me all by myself. I mean I recently text my girlfriend and it autocorrected “Don’t” to “ #dontneednoman”  haha my mom would be so proud…however this is not true one bit. I jokingly say it and I truly don’t neeeed a man, but wow am I finding myself wanting someone to cuddle up close to lately.  Maybe because when the weight of the world is on your shoulders you just need that one person to kiss your forehead and tell you it’s all going to be just fine.  After a long day of work I want to be able to call someone I’m interested in and talk about our day. Connection and love is what we are all really here for, right? 😉

Right now I’m packing and moving my life into a new house, first time I’m doing it all completely on my own. Proud ..yes, excited..for sure, scared..absolutely!  my little one is going through a stage of terrible 3s and has double ear infections right now all while switching into a new school.  I work hard and am constantly thinking of ways to be successful, working on getting into the best shape and health I’ve ever been in… maintaining a relationship with all my friends and loved ones ..being the best mommy I can be, being adventurous, writing my blog to keep sane all while trying to be a bad ass and live a positive kick ass life!!! My day to day is extremely busy! I don’t ever really have time to breathe or have any “me” time. Sorry for the rant..but I’m sure you get it….

My cousin and soul sista text me yesterday and said  “Im very excited for you and this new journey your starting. Don’t allow anything that isn’t absolutely beautiful and nourishing to you have your attention. I love you and will be sending you so much love and positive energy!” it meant soooo much to me and to be honest the part about not allowing anything to have my attention that isn’t beautiful and nourishing was exactly what I needed to hear. Thanks Rachel!

Ive learned that while yes there are things you cant control there are a lot of things you can. Like being positive, spreading love, working hard, being a loyal good person list goes on and on… Ive also learned those people that suck the energy out of you or make you feel as if your having an anxiety attack and cant breathe,eliminate them! I don’t care if they are a spouse, no need to suffer with someone that carries a black cloud. No one has time for that, life is to beautiful and way to short. You can control who you choose to surround yourself with. If someone makes you feel not so good, move along, chances are their behavior has nothing to do with you anyways.

This next year for me is about becoming …becoming the woman I’m destined to be. I have grown so so much the last 3 years. Im ready… I have completely stepped out of my comfort zone and into open field, bring it on! “ you must sacrifice security in order to grow”  Im excited for my future, truly excited! I have no limit on how amazing I can make this short ride here on earth, but I’ll enjoy making it as kick ass as possible! Right now I may be stressed but that light at the end of the tunnel is so bright and I get closer and closer!

Hope everyone has an amazing day! Stay Strong and smile at a stranger, its contagious! 🙂

Love,

Sarah Elizabeth XOXOXO

A song I love and listen to every single day thanks to a fellow 311 fan that introduced me to the band Rebelution..

“‘Cause I can see the sun rise on my way
I can see the road rise to meet me
I can feel the earth underneath my feet
And I can see the stars on top of me..

And it feels like life is taking over
It feels like it’s meant to be”

such a great song!!!

^^ current status, just reading my book, drinking coffee and relaxing. About to go for a run in the beautiful sunshine on this fine Sunday morning. Wanted to share a passage from the book that I thought was pretty dope! 😊💭

Hold tight to the purpose and vision you have created for your future and own them with every ounce of your being. Keep all of your actions in alignment with your higher purpose, and keep your intentions pure. You will attract amazing and beautiful things into your life. So, be fearless, have fun, and be willing to take a few risks. Reach for the stars, and know that you  are supported in every way.

Move forward with confidence in the direction of your dreams and desires. Believe that they are not only possible, but that they are already in progress. ( key to living the Law of Attraction)

“If you have the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed.” -David Viscott

Enjoying this beautiful Saturday, and as always thinking…. So here goes…

I always seem to battle the same war of understanding when it comes to other humans. I would venture to say that all humans desire to be understood, loved and accepted for exactly who they are at their core… . . Not the things that lie on the surface, like your job, your hobbies, the places you have visited, opinions on politics or the weather. Everyone can discuss these things but those things don’t get to the root of who we are. Many people never ask the questions that matter…..

What does the warm sun on your face remind you of? What sets your soul on fire? what do you long for? Do the stars remind you of every wish you have ever made? Whose hand do you wish you were holding on your loneliest night? or have you learned to hold your own hand knowing it will never let go? Do you leave the comfort of home to find yourself or to run from it? How have you healed yourself and grown from love lost? or have you  fooled yourself into believing your heart is free? What is the place you have never allowed another soul to touch? or have you been touched by dirty hands too many times in hopes that someday one person will touch you with unconditional love & security?
Fear. It must be fear. Why else would we hide behind shallow exchanges?
We are taught not to open ourselves up to others. We are taught to fear true intimacy, which comes from a balance of verbal, emotional and physical connection and to settle for physical exchanges. 
Too many people spend so much time working to break people down and to belittle them out of their own insecurities that in the end the only thing being broken down is personal growth & love.
I sit in silence at times looking for hidden clues behind unspoken words. I watch for little expressions that peak behind the mask of protection & occasionally, I will encounter another soul who allows me to read their story page by page cherishing each word in its honesty.

However, it’s fleeting these days to find someone who trusts enough to present their book to you with open hands.
We have all been hurt. Some more than others. It’s all part of the journey.. But it’s how we rise from that hurt, walk through the ashes and into new life that matters. How we relate and help others. Maybe we all have a 50/50 chance of becoming completely closed off or completely broken open to love without limit

Always remember–> we are ALL in this together! Every one of us has a purpose. You never meet anyone by accident. Maybe if we all let our guard down just a little we will realize so many people are just like us. Where we fall short, others are there to help and vise versa. Let your light shine.. positive vibes!!

Happy Saturday! ✨☀️

❤️ Sarah
