“The single fact of dreaming is already very important. I wish that your dreams will never end and I wish you the fierce desire to realize some of them, and make them your reality. I wish you to love what shall be loved and to forget what shall be forgotten. I wish you silent nights by yourself to get in touch with your soul. I wish you to one day wake up to children’s laughter. I wish for you to believe in love, no matter what.. I wish you to resist stalemate, indifference, negative virtues of our time. I wish you most of all, to be you.” ✨💞

I just want to touch on this topic…..

How cool is it in a world full of billions to meet really genuine and awesome humans. I truly believe in our day to day we cross paths with all kinds of people, some we see and some we really SEE. You make eye contact and you just know. Or you see the person and are drawn to them. Certain stand out, make a switch go off In your heart. Almost as if you know them from a different lifetime and are reuniting. You feel completely comfortable and pick up where you left off. A soul connection. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does it’s really cool! Like how did you find me again!? Lol what’s even more cool is the “catch up” to see the struggle, heartache,beauty and journey thus far. I’ve been really in touch with my soul lately. I’ve learned to live in the moment , be free, and above all ALWAYS do what what makes your soul smile, not what seems like the “right” thing to do in society. I watch “Soul Garden” every morning and yesterday the message in short was to ” commit to the smile” what he meant by this was: if it makes you smile, your heart and soul are happy, go with it! Whatever lights you up don’t let it go! Let me clarify, keep it simple and I don’t mean cling on to a man or woman & turn it into
Something it isn’t (our mind tends to play tricks on us) before we even go on a second date our mind is already picturing a future with a puppy and all. 😝 we are all guilty of this at some point. BUT instead live in the moment, do what makes you smile, be around people that Inspire you and make your soul on fire!! 🔥 guess what I’m saying is , slow down, appreciate awesome humans when their right in front of you and really SEE them. Always commit to the smile and anyone that makes our heart happy. Oh and remember if at some point they don’t make you smile anymore, soul contract is up, work is done and let them be free so they can grow on their own journey.
Life is SO beautiful when you simplify It and allow only positive vibes. I seriously love you all!
Love,
Sarah Elizabeth ✨

If your future self has a message for you, it might look something like this:

1. Everyone is going through something. Compassion is a universal language.
2. As you age, your body will change unexpectedly. Just go with it.
3. Not everyone has to like you for you to be loved.
4. The best potential relationship of your life will be with yourself. The sooner you can become your own best friend, the easier your life will be.
5. You are more beautiful, smarter, and more capable than you give yourself credit for.
6. Your happiness will be in direct proportion to what you are willing to accept and let be.
7. Forgiveness may be one of the hardest things you’ll ever have to do, but once you allow for it, you will feel unconditional freedom like you never imagined.
8. Everything is connected. What you’re going through right now is part of your bigger picture.
9. Love never ends. Your relationships may change form, but love is in your heart forever.
10. Your insecurities and fears are part of your life lessons. Overcoming them is part of the life process and mission.
11. You’re never off track or behind. It’s all in divine order.
12. Do what you love as often as you can. It is the fastest way to find your happy.
13. You don’t need a lot of money to do what you want. The sooner you can focus on results versus reasons it can’t happen, the more fulfilled you will be.
14. Putting yourself first isn’t selfish; it’s essential for your own well-being.
15. No amount of guilt will solve your problems. Anxiety won’t change the future. Be present — it’s all you have.
16. Everyone everywhere wants the same thing: love and acceptance.
17. Deferring your happiness to the future just keeps you unhappy indefinitely.
18. Investing in experiences is more rewarding than things.
19. You will learn the way on the way. Trust the process and be in the journey.
20. Your life is not off track, and you’ve made no mistakes. You are right where you need to be to get to where you want to go.

I left my heart in NYC XOXO

I’ve never needed someone to come along and take me away from my current life. I’ve always needed a partner who can challenge me, inspire me, intrigue me and fascinate me because of his passions in life. A man that has his own life and passions, hobbys, friends .. Someone who can be part of my life, without being all of it…

I’ve always day dreamed about how the life I’ve built for myself would feel when I was able to share it with someone I love and adore. When I was younger I believed in fairytales and a prince charming to come and rescue me. I dreamed he was handsome and everything with him would be nothing short of perfect. In the past I needed the thrills, the riches, the wild life filled with excitement, fancy clothes and  lavish events. what I want now is something much simpler and unique. I want a man who can remember the little things.Like how I like my vanilla latte at Starbucks. Someone who can make me laugh and when I get a little anxious about something he knows what to say to bring me back to “its not that serious” without saying those words obviously lol a man that can lay with me on the couch and listen to music without saying a word. I never  wanted a man to try to steal my independence or can’t understand it.  Instead, I want a guy who is strong enough to stand by my side, not in front or behind. To be my best friend even when times get tough. To love life with me..To be “my kind of different”, as I like to say.

I’ve been called picky quite a bit.. been told im someone who is waiting for some soul mate or Prince Charming, the perfect man, I’ve been accused of holding out for something that doesn’t exist, having my eye on some ridiculous prize ….

what I’m actually doing is working on MY own story. Its not going to be a fairytale when it happens it’s going to be part of my story, my journey. Truth is, I’m not really picky, but I do know what I look for in a  man that can fill that missing piece. Yes I would love to have our paths cross sooner than later but I’m busy living my crazy little life.

I don’t have to settle with someone to be secure, or to rescued but choose a partner who thinks my independent strength is sexy. A man who admires my qualities of being a strong but nurturing woman.  One where marriage isn’t summed up three words of happily ever after, but is a lifetime of ups and downs. A relationship where there is no games, no bs, because we both choose each other.

It might have taken me a few decades to see fairy tales for what they are, magical love stories that we see in the movie remind us that love is possible;but not quite an accurate description of what a relationship really is. I just wish for happiness in life. And in love.

Im just living my story and trusting the journey… one day our stories will meet and ill probably be writing about you in my blog posts, but until then, I hope we are happily apart.

Love Always

Soooo life has been weird but awesome lately……

I was watching Super Soul Sunday (as usual) a few weeks ago and they made this analogy. Picture a butterfly cupped in your hands, now open them, if the butterfly stays its supposed to, if it flys away its supposed to…let it go…Well that hit me super hard!

So I’ve taken this approach the last few weeks with everything from friends ,men, work opportunities, decisions etc  I’ve been sitting back, living my life and observing how people operate and how things unfold when you let the universe step in. I haven’t put in much effort because I only want what’s real in my life and what is meant to stay. In the past I would feel anxious about not reaching out to certain people or mending certain situations where in my heart I know I’m not at fault, and because I’m a complete social butterfly it’s hard for me to lay low. I would feel a need to state my peace or talk things out, but now as people exit my life I let them go with a breath of fresh air, I feel peaceful and surprisingly relieved. Almost as if God and the universe is just directing everything perfectly.

I’m realizing as I do this and I see these people from a panoramic view without being involved the reasons I’m to keep my distance…..

Without getting into to much detail about anyone in particular I’ve noticed that I don’t want to live in a way that’s destructive, where I’m not growing, evolving and being inspired by  people I surround myself with. I’ve noticed to many people live a life where they aspire to be a certain person so bad but do nothing but put statuses on social media to get there. That will never be me. I’ve also noticed that there are a lot of phony people that lie, judge, feed on drama and pretend to be people they aren’t at all. It makes me sad but grateful they aren’t around me.  Sorry for this rant, its been on my mind, one, because its crazy how things unfold if you allow them to and two, it baffles me how at peace I am with it all. If you want to stay, stay.. if you want to go, go…if you aren’t resistant and are true to yourself it will all unfold for your greater good. I believe If there is one thing I know for sure its who I am and what I stand for. Its that love is the greatest gift one can give and receive and don’t let anyone dull your sparkle…ever! Sooo with all that being said…I welcome anyone or anything that wants to cause me stress, or uneasy feelings to go with the wind..dont worry ill let cha go with love & light 😉

Love, SE  XoXo

& sometimes I like to sit on the beach and just think ….

Hey Hey! Been awhile…..

What we go through in life is part of a bigger plan. Everything is connected and we always have a choice. If something isn’t working in our lives, we can either change how we’re looking at it or remove ourselves from the situation.

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,
