Hey hey!!

All my life, I knew I was going to be SOMETHING. Something great. Something wonderful. Successful, famous and something so intellectually on point, I would lightly stab the world between the eyes.
“Here I am, World. Eat your heart out!

Yes, I have been focusing on me and what this next year will bring me. I’ve worked extremely hard becoming the woman I am today. I know I have a bright future and many things to look forward to anddd all I have ever dreamed of WILL be my reality..

But you know what I’ve been doing lately? I’ve been praying for people… Yup, you read right, I’ve been praying a lot for people I love and have crossed paths with.
I’ve completely removed my little heart from this ruthless world, and I’ve never felt better…

How does a woman of this world focus less on BEING something and devote herself to DOING something?
Prayer, you guys. It all comes down to prayer.
In the past, I’ve been what you would call a “casual” pray-er. If an anxiety attack comes on, God’s the first dude I call. If my plane is doing the turbulence dance, I’m all over the prayer stuff. If anyone I love has a suspicious looking mole on their cheek and even if it only turns out to be a sprinkle from their cupcake, I’ll pray so hard.
& for the longest time, prayer wasn’t necessarily something I sought to do on a regular basis, nor was it a thing that I believed actually worked. Really, it was just a way to focus my mind on something so worry wouldn’t give me anxiety in my stomach…
God isn’t some genie in the sky who blinks and grants your every wish. And I’m right, He’s not…
But He’s love. He’s the connection between your heart and mine. And when we pray with intention for another human being instead of our own selfish needs and wants, we’re helping to connect those we’re praying for to God and wrap them in his warm embrace. Try it, it works ❤️😉

with love..

Girl,

Just look at your eyes…you were born with a fire inside you,
and this world is determined to stamp it out.

You will see it when you stand up for yourself and you are told how arrogant you are amongst your sex because ‘it isn’t ladylike to raise your voice.’

(Speak louder when they say things like that to you.
Let them see how quick a single flame can take hold of an entire forest)

You will know it if a man tries to use his strength against you..

(What did he think would happen if he manhandled flames?
His burnt fingers are his own fault, not yours.)

Im sure you felt it when you saw
your mothers eyes filled with terror because you were two hours later than you said you would be coming home.

(She understands so well how dangerous it is
to carry a soul made from a firestorm in this broken world.)

You must understand: they fear you. There is nothing scarier in their minds than a girl who knows the power of her flames..

Your passion is terrifying ,
your beauty  is unashamed,
determinedly uncaged
and so honest and wild
that they can only think of ways
to either own that fire
or try their damnedest to stamp it out.

But you must never ever let them take
those flames from within your soul,
Instead, you must burn brighter than ever 🔥🔥

you belong only to yourself, not to this world.

just wow ….

Sarah 🔥🔥💋

Hi!!

So I figured New Years is almost here and I wanted to share some cool traditions with you all! Enjoy!

The New Year is an opportunity to turn the wheel of time and begin a new. As the last year comes to a close, people around the world have an opportunity to let it go and move forward unencumbered.  Make this new year the best one yet!

Some things to do or think about …

Before the year’s over, release all clutter! Throw out all that you’ve outgrown and make room for something new. Take a cue from the Italians, who literally do “out with the old” by throwing unwanted possessions from their windows on New Year’s Eve. lol pretty awesome!

If you have consciously or subconsciously hurt others in the past year, it’s time to make amends. When your relationships are filled with anger or resentment, they become huge drains. Apologizing allows you to take back your energy and move forward. Start fresh this year, let the light of your heart shine. Release all negative thoughts, energy and toxic people. Let go with Love!

I thought this was super cool! To mark New Years Eve in Bali, the entire country goes silent and takes time for prayers and contemplation. People around the world could learn a lot from this ritual, considering all of us spend so much time talking, texting, social media etc. that we hardly listen to our own inner guidance. Before the New Year, make some time for silence. Put your phone away, shut off your computer, and just be with the beautiful gift that is the present . Do it alone or with someone you love…

Before the year’s over, throw out all that you’ve outgrown and make room for something new. Start fresh…

Purify your space! Make your home a place of peace.. Cleanse your space by placing sage, rosemary, or fresh lemon in a bottle of water and spraying their scents around your home. Boost the energy even more with a bowl of fresh-cut oranges, lemons, or grapefruits. For more than 6,000 years, certain plants were worn or sniffed to heal the body, attract love, and change one’s state of consciousness. Aromatherapy may energize, calm, rejuvenate, balance, purify the body and mind. Simply take a deep breath and let these wonderful essences change your vibration. vibe to my vibe peeps 😉

Take time to bless your life, your body, your friends, your family, and Mother Earth. Appreciation builds appreciation and makes you feel happy, reinforcing the good in the world. Smiles are contagious! 🙂 Add to the positive energy of the world — it needs your caring vibrations of light and love.

Most of us spend the holiday season thinking of others and what we can do or buy for them. But when we honor ourselves, we naturally make better choices for personal enrichment. You can’t give to others if you don’t have any energy. Don’t forget about YOU!

So, New Years in Spain, they believe that grapes bring sweetness and prosperity, and they eat 12 of them at midnight,one for each stroke of the clock. In China, one eats long noodles to symbolize longevity in the year ahead. And of course, lots of cultures welcome midnight with a bubbly champagne toast. Whatever you eat or drink this New Year’s Eve manifest the brightest & best future.. because the best is yet to come!!!

This is such a cool tradition…For good luck in the coming year, some people throw money into their home the first time they enter after the new year has begun. So, go outside your front door a minute or so after midnight and throw coins through the entryway. Bless them with all the qualities you want them to bring in! you’re welcome lol

On New Years Day we will open our book…The pages of the chapters to come will be blank. Its up to us to make this journey count….

I have to say, I’m totally excited about this year to come! Hope you are too!! 🙂

“My mission in life is to not merely survive, but to thrive ; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor and some style” 💋

Love Always

Sarah Elizabeth XOXO

It’s no secret, Life is not always easy…..
If you truly want something or you want to improve your life in some way, you will stumble, you will fall. Things may seem bleak. And you might feel like just giving up on your dreams and going home…DON’T.

I hope you always keep pushing forward. Don’t let that little voice in your head start rumbling again, telling you the skies falling down, you’re in serious danger, you can’t afford it, you’re not worthy of that big dream, everyone will think you’re crazy, and you will end up on the streets. ohhh honey, don’t you know by now the voices that speak negative aren’t real. The nonsense your fear based thoughts spew out is nothing more than feable, primitive warning sign emanating from your brain, trying to keep you “safe” when there’s nothing safe about living in fear.
Please, my love, free yourself. Listen to your inner light, the voice of love.

Im also here to tell you that on rare occasions throughout your life, you will come across people who will save your soul. You won’t know It at the time..because most likely everything will be so confusing, and too many things will hurt. But, in time, you will realize that these people were able to accomplish something unimaginable … They held up a mirror to you that was different from the broken one that you had become accustomed to flinching at.. And they were able to make you see-really see, a reflection of yourself that was much kinder than the one you saw when alone. In realizing that, you will breathe a sigh of relief – a sound you could not make before..Not until you suddenly realize that you are no longer alone.
These people are your shelter; your port in a storm; your God-given solace. A place of peace when your own feelings turn on you. Never forget these people. Hold onto them with everything you have left in you. Love them so much that at times it will embarrass you because they won’t care. And let them love you back, because in the end, they are the ones who will save you from the world that surrounds you, and sometimes tries to drown you. And, in doing this, they will save you from yourself.
“There are only so many of us born at a time. We are thrown into this world to find each other, to find the ones that don’t think you’re  strange, understand your jokes and sarcasm, your smile and expressions, the way you talk. We only have so long to find each other, but we have to try…”

Love, S

Do you really want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it is cracked up to be. That’s why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for and risking everything for. And the trouble is if you don’t risk anything, you risk even more ..

And right now it all feels like I am fatally yours,

Like two people are meant to meet,

And

Crash for the very,

First time. 💌 💥
