I Believe (Another Reflection)

I believe in vintage clothes, antique furniture, old tea sets and dusty old books.

I believe that our talents evolve, our fantasies change, our goals shift.

I believe that allowing ourselves the space to recreate ourselves is a great indulgence.

I believe in a vision, mission and life policy that allows for edits.

I believe in the smell of babies.

I believe in prayer. 

I believe that your energy introduces you before you speak.

I believe in speaking out, even when my voice shakes.

I believe that humility and gratitude will always be fashionable.

I believe in soft light, soft music, soft perfumes.

I believe in surrender.

I believe in coffee.

I believe that sometimes no one knows exactly what you are going through. And, that’s totally okay!

Gratitude: A Short Reflection

I am messing up on so many fronts. But gosh, I am winning on so many others.

 

And so, I remain focused.

Focused on this very moment, I notice the morning light on my tomato tree, I hear the faint news of political turmoil and earth tremors. I notice the missing tooth on my girl’s perfect face. I feel the sun streaming onto my son’s dreads as I step into a puddle of spilled milk on the floor. I pick up some pretty ballet shoes, get a whiff of a sexy man’s perfume in the passage. I open a few emails, watch the the phone ringing endlessly.

And I know for sure, I am holding on to the little things.

Because let’s face it, those little things are the big things.

This is my life. And I only have one.
