Welcome to October peeps!

An amazing month and a favorite of mine for many reasons, some obvious and some very personal. There is something in October, sets the gypsy blood astir ..magic

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! ✨☀️

So, I have to write about this because it touched my heart so much…

About a week ago a beautiful necklace (pictured above) was posted on my Facebook wall. It says balance… Eye of the Tiger gemstone symbolizes this. The lady that made it, Donna, posted under it “I have one left. I knew you would love this. Let me know if you are interested”

About 10 minutes later, I receive an email from a person that wishes to remain anonymous, and is such a kind soul they didn’t even want me to blog about it…but I had to.

The email asked, in so many words,” Have u purchased the necklace?” I replied that I hadn’t yet…and this was the next message—wait for it ….” Send the lady where you would like it shipped; consider it a 100% Random act of kindness is all… Please don’t post anything about it. Just keep writing in your blog and doing what u do. Think u touch more people than u know. Have a great day and weekend 🙂 ”

I have to admit at first I was skeptical, thought there were ulterior motives possibly but at the same time I was mind blown at the possibility of such a beautiful gesture.  I then said thank you so much, but I couldn’t accept …after thinking on it for a few I decided why not let someone do a random act of kindness and accept it? I don’t usually accept gifts; I am always the one giving them because I feel weird about people buying me things. I then got this email back “Thank you for accepting. Giving is only half. Accepting is a wonderful thing. It makes people feel just as good. You are wonderful” When I tell you that I had to sit and think on that, wow did I. I was in awe… in awe of such a wonderful soul, such a kind gesture, such words of wisdom that made me step out of my comfort zone, not to mention the necklace I received today and it’s SO awesome!  I didn’t hear from this person again, which proves it was indeed a complete random act of kindness…he didn’t do it to take me out, to ask for my number, to use it in any way at all.

These are the moments life is all about, random acts of kindness, spreading love, still witnessing beautiful people on this earth.  I will be forever thankful and never forget this… Thank you for making my day, for allowing me to feel comfortable accepting this gift and for that continuing belief that there are still humans that give, expecting nothing at all. This seriously sets my soul on fire with love, I will keep this trend of giving going and hopefully the person I give to will as well and so on… More giving and love is what we need in this world!

Thank you again, the necklace is so beautiful! In fact I’m wearing it now 🙂

If anyone wants to purchase one or something like it, check out Donna Zacharia Sellitti on Facebook, she has beautiful pieces!! Thank you for mine.

Love, Sarah Elizabeth

” Take your power back, your a goddess, the prize..be with a man that has a strong enough energy to hang with yours”

 ^^Words of wisdom from a very very dear friend…

 You know when, very rarely, but every so often you have a conversation with someone and a light goes off. You really hear what they are saying, timing of the words makes perfect sense. Yup, this was me yesterday …

 I have been feeling alittle off lately and I guess trying to vibe with people who are not on my vibrational  level. I don’t say this in a bad way at all…. I’m just saying I take it kind of personal when things don’t feel quite right in a situation. I start to wonder “what’s wrong” or why things feel out of place..the more I try the more it gets weirder within myself lol

I have been battling these thoughts for a few weeks now because of certain situations..It starts with how I think a situation should go, letting it play out and being confused, feeling anxious and wondering what the hell happened in my own head…Well nothing happened at all..the only thing is that when two people from different worlds with completely different energy meet there no telling what the outcome will be.. Your energy has to vibe..and you have to have no expectations. When you have an expectation then it throws you for a loop when it doesn’t turn out the way you dreamed it up in your own mind, it really messes with you.

 Well after the words of wisdom from a friend I have a sense of clarity… an “ah ha” moment. I now realize that I have to remain at my level of energy and stop trying to change or adapt to others.  She explained it perfectly when she said “stay balanced, take your power back, you’re a strong woman Sarah..you need someone that can stand in their own energy and its big enough to hang with yours” Sometimes we don’t understand why things feel off with another person, whether it be romantic or not.  You can’t force something that isn’t in the stars.. and at times, people, myself included, try to place people in our lives because we are lonely or searching for companionship with other humans. We all want love and affection, we just want it from the right place. We attempt to lower standards, force things, questions things, change things in order to try to balance and make something feel good. (hope your following, I can be in my head at times) my point is to stand tall, stand in your own confidence and with the power to be who you are. Put out what you want back as far as energy and declare what you want for your future, say it, believe it, manifest it.. it will come true. Don’t waver or settle because your lonely, your energy will be off, the other person will sense, it wont work, and you will feel worse than before.

Most of all never stop believing and never ever let anyone dull that bright light that shines from within. If you step into the power that we all have deep inside us you wont have question why things happen or who you are..

Take the time to do nothing much at all.

“There’s never enough time to do all the nothing you want.”

Life isn’t just what can be captured on a to-do list. It is not achievement upon achievement.

To me life is also about spending some time just lazying around in a oversized t-shirt with no pants on the weekend. Taking a run on the beach, exploring with no destination, Reading, writing in my blog, painting, relaxing, or simply doing nothing at all. It’s about time in the morning, drinking my coffee on my front porch, before the world is awake, listening to the birds, or in the afternoons just watching the summer clouds go by… having a green juice in the park all by myself, its about hanging out with friends or family with no agenda.

Because there is much happiness and relaxation in doing nothing but being still… And because you can, in my experience often find new ideas, directions and appreciation for your life when you take the time for these things.

Cant wait for Friday! Much needed energy balancing 🙂

It’s  not easy having a kind heart in a cruel world. At times I am in pain and I have a dull ache in my heart that feels Just terrible.. I have such high hopes for people that cross my path and always try to look for the best. I’m definitely guilty of thinking most people are good & painting the picture I want to see and not looking at the actions of the other person… I’m learning through experience that when someone shows you who they are just accept it…don’t listen to what they say or how they try to sweet talk, watch and observe actions.. Know that they fight their own battles, walk their own journey and most things have nothing to do with you at all, it within them. It definitely isn’t fair at all when someone tries to be someone they aren’t and then awakens the fire within a women’s heart only to let them down. Maybe they don’t even realize they are doing it, Its hard for me to believe that people don’t understand how their actions effect others.. But then I think maybe those type of people need to cross your path to teach this very lesson. Anyways, the point of this rant is that I’m laying in bed just thinking about life and people and actions.. About what’s REAL… And about the people in my life. I obviously think way to much , but that’s just the way I’m wired so writing helps to get it out of my head. I believe life is so much more than we know.. It’s so magical and everything is connected. We have soul contracts and things to learn and to teach others… Energy flows through us all. I’m so thankful that my fragile heart is so very strong.. That it doesn’t get numb or keep me disappointed for to long…it’s a blessing and a curse to love and feel the way I do….I do however hope for some truly beautiful souls to come into my life very soon, don’t want to lose hope.

Sweet Dreams,

Sarah ✨✨✨✨🌟

#terriblyreal #actions #truecolors #love #istillbelive 💜

may you listen to the voice within the beat of your heart even when your tired, when you feel Yourself breaking down, may you break open instead. May every experience in life be a door that opens our heart, expands your understanding, and leads you to freedom . If you are weary, may you be aroused by passion and purpose. If you are blameful or bitter, may you be sweetened by hope and humor. If you are frightened, may you be emboldened by a big consciousness far wiser than your fear. If you are lonely , may you find love, may you find friendship. If you are lost, may you understand that we are all lost, and still we are guided by angels and the light within us, all of us. Follow the vibrant voice within the beat… May you follow that voice , for this is the only way-  the hero’s journey , the life worth living, the reason we are here.

💜💜💋

Sarah
