Hey Hey!!

With my birthday drawing near, Ive had aging/life on my mind….So thought I would write about it..

In the past when I thought about aging I would get so turned off  but recently my perspective has been very different. Ive realized how beautiful aging and life experience is.  Soooo im not going to tell you exactly how old I am, but let’s just say…I’ve lived, lost, loved and learned….I obviously  have a lot more life to live but I’m finally at a point where “I get it” truly I see life through a different and deeper lense, a panoramic view… Aging well is about taking care of your body but also your soul & your spirit, with thoughts, experiences, people and things that bring you pure and real joy, and avoiding those that don’t.

I definitely am little weird, for lack of a better word and I look at things from a different perspective than most. At times I wish I was naïve and lived in a little bubble because I wouldn’t analyze,  and feel things so strongly, but then I realize I have a gift…a gift not many have, to see people and situations from a deeper perspective that only gets stronger and clearer with age…

Im extremely grateful for every experience that can only be acquired over time. The good and the bad I’ve realized though all experiences and scars left on my fragile little heart, Im growing, forever learning and it all makes me that much stronger. Even though I have been through some hard times, it has made me well rounded, relatable, understanding, and what I call on my way to becoming a “spiritual Warrior” …  because “ive never met a strong person with an easy past”  that’s deep huh?!

Im grateful for the people that cross my path. The people I have met that allow me to be a part of their life, that open up to me about their journey thus far, because they trust me. People that open my eyes to things , that inspire me, I’m so very appreciative for these people. I truly believe in soul connections..that people are brought in and out of your life for a reason. That some are meant to stay and some are meant to have just a brief exchange. Although at times I wish some could of stayed longer I accept and trust the journey as it unfolds…because What if everything is actually happening PERFECTLY? We spend all this time wondering why things “didn’t work out.” But what if it actually did work out…we just didn’t realize it? Think on that one .. 😉

If you have even one beautiful moment with someone, that might be more than some people ever get to experience in a lifetime? Instead of being pissed off at a person for not fulfilling our exact desires what if we focused on how incredibly beautiful and fulfilling those MOMENTS were? What if we could bring those moments to mind and smile? Focusing on that fulfillment brings an entirely different energy to the table. Because no matter how a relationship unfolds, we can experience so much in moments. I find myself falling so deeply in love with so many people all the time. Not in a way that feels needy or expecting, but in a way that fills me up with crazy good feelings and kinda just makes my heart burst open. Even  when someone does you wrong remove them from your life but  let them go with love, light and forgiveness. Its so easy to be pissed off but why hold that in your heart? Soooo you see I get wiser with age as my perspective changes, life gets more and more beautiful.

 “Life will bring you to your knees and rip you open in ways that will allow you to love. It is your heartbreak that will teach you compassion”. -Seane Corn

Im getting alittle carried away I think , but my mind goes and goes…

A whole new journey is about to unfold and I couldn’t be more excited. Especially since now I’ve realized so much more about people, life, love, truth. I’ve done a lot of soul searching and spent a lot of time getting to know myself. My relationship with God is forever strong and I’m truly happy. Yes, I definitely have my days but I try to always keep moving forward and being the best version of myself. I’ve traded tears for a little black dress, and that fear of being alone for the option of having something and someone extraordinary, because its way worse to feel alone in a relationship than to actually be alone. I’m conquering my Life lessons… to do my best, spread the love and keep it high vibe..most importantly never to neglect myself and be forever learning and open to new and different experiences.

” Trust The Journey”

Moral of this rant..Embrace age and getting wiser! Love your life, love people and be present! Always keep it high vibe!

Happy Friday!!!

Love Always,

Don’t Forget to Dream…..

My Best friend asked me this last night when having “girl talk” and talking about relationships “When did you stop being such a dreamer, sarah?”

I find myself asking that same question over and over again all morning.. She knows me very well, probably better than anyone else….So she sees though everything i say.. Ive realized lately I’ve focused so much on living that I’ve stopped dreaming…..

somewhere along the voyage to single-and-lovin’-it, I lost track of the girl who loved to dream…..

I’ve been trying so hard to be so strong about it all, that I haven’t let myself believe….

I’ve been protecting my heart & my mind from failure, from that ache I know so well. From getting my hopes up so high that they have no place to go but crashing down.. From thinking — and beautifully, wishfully dreaming about the life I hope to have one day..I try to remind myself to live in the “now” but I cant forget you always have to dream of the future, bigger & brighter tomorrows

This morning, on my drive to work alls I hear in my head is “Sarah, Take time to dream.” For some reason it is really heavy on my heart..and I started to cry …I cried for the younger years where i was less street smart, the less experienced me that used to draw hearts and dream of the future.. The me that made  “dream boards” because one day I’d work for it all and have everything that I glued on those pages. For the girl that was, and still is hopeless romantic. For the girl that always dreamed of Sunday morning, after church, making breakfast with the man of my dreams and our family. Windows open on a beautiful summer day with the birds singing away.. (sorry got carried away lol)  😉

maybe that’s why I’m a little scared to dream now. I do have most of what I ever wanted: an incredible job that’s challenging and amazing. A safe, comfortable home that I own across from the beach. A group of amazing, and funny friends that keep me sane, an awesome family that’s always has my back, regardless if they’re a car ride or a plane ride away. A sweet little boy who never lets me end my day upset or feeling unloved. Im healthy in and out and am aging like a fine wine, ( thank God)

So the thing left to dream about is… love…Or about the ways my career will change and grow over the next few years. Or about the addresses that I may have but haven’t walked past yet. the people who will change my life that I haven’t met…

Or maybe, if I really dare to dream, perhaps, I’ll live with a handsome, successful, kind and amazing husband, we will have a beach house and a great apartment in New York City to be closer my family, happy little children full of life.. we will share the best adventures together because we will be best friends . Ill be able to turn my thoughts and writing into a book one day, be able to help people all over the world and spread love. Ill get more involved in modeling and being a makeup artist for big fashion shows/events. I want to be able to travel and able to remind myself that it’s only with imagining that anything can ever happen.

I’ve always dreamed, my whole life  about many  things, and many have come true! How can I forget to dream now..they say if you think it, dream it, believe it, manifest it and work for it…anything is possible!!

After writing this blog post I feel on fire.. I know all my dreams will become a reality because knowing myself, ill never settle for anything less..of course I trust the journey and trust  that I’m being directed to live my best life. Learning to let go and enjoy the ride..every up and down while keeping it high vibe!

That is all peeps….my thoughts for the day …

Guess what I had to remind myself is to rid the fear and the ego..believe and NEVER stop dreaming!!! Life is magical…just believe

Love Always,

An Open Letter To 2015

by Sarah Elizabeth  

Dear 2015,

One thing I love to do at the end of the year is look back and reflect ,to have some gratitude for everything that was accomplished over the year, how far Ive come, all the wonderful people ive met and things that happened. To put it lightly this year has been a wild rollercoaster. Definitely amazing yet challenging. I cherish every single day, even though some days its hard to see the light, and other days shine so brightly no one can dull my sparkle. Ive learned that “ life aint  aways beautiful but it’s a beautiful ride” and to trust and fully enjoy the journey…

So 2015, Here are my intentions for you…

I intend ….…

To practice gratitude and appreciation.

To believe that everything is unfolding for my greatest good.

To welcome new people and experiences into my life.

To open myself to love, curiosity, meaningful work, pure enjoyment.

To allow the path to unfold before me – and to show up for it.

To create deep, meaningful connections and nurture the ones I have.

To know when to walk away and have the strength to move forward

To drop kick my comfort zone more

To feel ecstatic joy just because I’m alive.

To trust and allow myself to fall in love

To let go of analyzing how it should all look, let go and feel my way through it more.

To give myself radical love, so I can show up with more love to every relationship.

To say yes to life, to feel the brilliant possibilities twinkling in the air.

To know there will be emotional challenges, days when I question everything, when I wonder why, when I think it was all a mistake. But to also know that I am resilient.

To step into the most colorful, beautiful life imaginable. The life that feels authentic and honest and real. To cultivate it gently and without judgment.

To boldly walk through.

To give more.

To live this year as if it were my last (because you never know).

To become more intimate with all of life.

To entertain new perspectives, to be learning, always.

To love, laugh, relax and savor.

To calm my mind more and follow my heart

To travel more

To love people anyway, no matter what, yes this is hard but im working on it 🙂

I may have repeated a few, just means im extra passionate about it 😉

“To have the serenity to accept the things I can’t change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

“Once you recognize within yourself a hunger for something beyond just continuing, once you taste even the POSSIBILITY of touching the meaning enfolded in your life, you can never be completely content with just going through the motions. There is no going back.”  2015… im ready!!

My wish for you…

“May Light always surround you; Hope kindle and rebound you. May your Hurts turn to Healing; Your Heart embrace Feeling. May Wounds become Wisdom; Every Kindness a Prism. May Laughter infect you; Your Passion resurrect you. May Goodness inspire your Deepest Desires. Through all that you Reach For, May your arms Never Tire.”
 

Soooo Cheers to the unknown, the openness, the wonder, the courage!

Cheers to my crazy little life!

Cheers to feeling different, new, ready!

Cheers to a year of sparkling possibilties

Cheers to LOVE!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Let’s do this!

I want to know your intentions! Comment me back 😘

Love Always,

Sarah Elizabeth ✨✨✨✨

*im always thinking ☺️

“Life ain’t always beautiful but it’s a beautiful ride”

“Sometimes letting things go is an act of far greater power than defending or hanging on”

Sometimes letting go is hard because you wish so bad the person your getting to know is showing you who they truly are and being honest about their intentions and who they portray to be. When its brought to your attention that many things have not been the truth you have to make a decision. Do you take time and energy into understanding why they lied to You? Their motives? Let them
Explain? Talk it out?
Or do you simply …
walk away..?

I can tell you I’m at a place in my life Where I realize every person is different and unique. That every person makes a conscious choice when in a “relationship” “friendship” to be honest, or not, to show effort,
Or not. I will no longer make excuses or give free passes to people In my life that don’t start out with honesty. I want what’s real, truth, loyalty, friendship. I don’t ask for much… I wear my heart on my sleeve, I love to make others smile, I show effort, If I care…I care. I’m kinda rambling on but I’m sure you get the idea…..
Keep it real or keep it moving … Even
If goodbyes hurt, my heart with heal..💔

I have loved, lost & learned a few times..it’s Something every soul should feel..

ALWAYS surround yourself with good, honest and loyal people.. As someone once told me ” you are who you associate yourself with” So before you let just anyone in, be sure they can handle your fragile heart ..

P.s. I really thought you were different as well….

Goodnight,

Sarah Elizabeth

Everything is as beautiful mixture of passion, magic, and an underlying truth that most feel and never speak. One of my biggest faults has always been that I care too much and when I do I give myself without hesitation. I would give you my all one thousand Times for the one day I get it back in return… And that’s the beautiful thing about love, yes it hurts sometimes, but when it’s real it reaches in to your heart and kisses each piece back together again, making everything worth it. In gods time everything will be whole from love. ❤️

Love Always SE

My guarded heart 💗

I woke this morning with this on my heart, so here goes …..
Yes, I guess I’m alittle guarded, I shield my heart from anything that can potentially break it into little pieces. However, it’s not very hard for me to fall head over heels with someone that I connect with soulfully… There’s something beautiful and magic about meeting a person and you know that you were supposed to meet for a reason, such a strong soul connection, a pure and innocent love…Anddd this is why I keep Distance until I feel ready. This is the reason I don’t allow people to get very close to me. I need to
Work on this because I realize that “being vulnerable is the only way to let your heart feel true pleasure” wise words of bob Marley 😉

Im normally not one to put forth effort at first, I sit back and observe to see how much you want to be a part of my life… Not because I need you to prove it to me but because before I allow myself to be completely vulnerable and give myself 100%, that’s what I do, I love soo hard, I want to know that you are going to stay, maybe awhile, maybe forever. yes the majority of the time I live in my dream world and I’m perfectly fine with that but I do take a realistic approach to relationships these days…I realize that you meet people along your journey that are not your forever and that that’s okay you just have to be prepared for the life lesson, the experience, the connection, be able to let it go when it is time. One day I will have someone in my life I won’t have to let go of, he will be the man to share the rest of my wild little life with .. I long for this.

Love this quote: ”
All the people we have met and all the people we have yet to meet are meant to exist so we can find them, so we both could exchange a set of directions which will guide us to the next place we are meant to go. And as we go we must always believe that maybe this could be our last stop. That maybe the next person we meet will not have a set of directions. That maybe they will have more and that maybe they will offer us something beautiful enough to inspire us to stay…” So beautiful & true.

guess what I’m trying to say is , be vulnerable, love fully, so what if u get hurt..better to have loved and lost than never loved at all.. Right? 😉

Love you all,
Sarah Elizabeth

“I’m often difficult to love. I go through dark periods like the moon and I hide from myself. But I promise I will kiss your wounds when they’re hurting. Even if they’re in your soul, I can find them with the light in my fingertips. I will lead you to the river so you can remember how beautiful it feels to be moved by something that is out of your control. And when our dark periods match, we can breathe with the grass and look at the night sky. The stars will remind us of the beauty in our struggles and we won’t feel lost anymore.”
