Vision-Words and Inspiration through the lens

Hey Beautiful Souls

I love this quote by Iyanla, it’s so easy to get caught up in everyone elses opinion of us and to allow our visions,dreams and desires get caught up in their shoulds.

Though I do believe it sometimes feels like we are standing alone, but I do think that there are always kindred souls out there standing with you even if you can’t see them.

Friday 5 Faves-Quotes

IMG_9864

Hey Wonderful Souls!

It’s that time again… Friday 5 Faves! This week I share 5 of my Fave quotes! I love quotes and have been collecting and soaking them in for years so there are a lot of ones I love.. Here are 5 of my fave ones these days.

  1. Nothing is Impossible. The Very word itself says I’m possible- Audery Hepburn
  2. When you listen to your true desires, you are listening to the divine within you. Your wildest desires aren’t “just ideas” that come to you. They are instructions, codes, & portals into promise & power. Your greatest security will come from listening to what you love– not denying it.-Tama Kieves
  3. Never decide to do nothing just because you can only do little. Do what you can. You would be surprised at what “little” acts have done for our world.- Steve Maraboli
  4. Far better to live your own path imperfectly than to live another’s perfectly. -Bhagavad Gita
  5. What you seek is seeking you -Rumi

    Do you have a favorite quote?

Inspired Living Series- Carolan Deacon

inspiredliving

Hey Inspiring Souls!

I am SO excited to bring this new series to life. Inspired Living, this will be a new 2x a month guest post series that brings some great people to you. This series will cover all sorts of things from Inspiration, DIY, Creativity, Personal Growth and all sorts of other stuff!

The very first guest for this series is a truly talented, kind and wonderful Soul. Carolan Deacon. I met her (virtually)  in an online and have felt connected ever since. I was instantly drawn in by her amazing music and message and sweet soul.

And now onto getting to know her…

I used to wake up anxious. Immediately upon waking, my mind would start the looping worry thoughts, the fear, the powerless feelings and the anxiety.

I felt at the mercy of my own head with nowhere to escape to because I could not control the panic attacks and I could not control the obsessive worry and sense of impending doom that followed me everywhere.

Fast forward several years later and a lot of ‘trial and error’ and here I am today: I am happy, focused and anxiety is nowhere on my radar.

How?

 “Affirmative music and Setting Specific Intentions for My Day.”        

As a professional performer and vocalist, music and performing had always taken center stage in my life but for a long time, I was unaware of the healing capacity of music and it’s unique ability to create new neural pathways and new thought patterns. Yep, it works.  Easily…

For me, when I was able to connect the memory-enhancing power of song with the power of intention; my life and my outlook shifted beautifully without me having to push or work at it.

I would like to share this very special music and wellness video with you.

Get comfortable, click play and enjoy two powerful healing modalities that will change your life.

Music and Intention- the song below “Intend” can be used as your wakeup call each morning to help you remember to set your intention before you get out of bed.

What if.. Little Inspirations

IMG_6577

Hey Wonderful Souls!

This is a thought that has come up for me more than once over the last few months.. I think it’s trying to tell me something! So I thought I would share it with you, as I suspect I am not the only one who resists exactly what I am asking for because it either, scares me or I expect it to “look” different.

What if that which I am resisting is actually what I seek?

What if “it” looked or sounded different then I thought it “should” or would?

What if I stopped resisting so much and just allowed myself to lean into it, to mindfully see what lessons, growth or opportunity could be within it?

What if I stopped blaming my outside circumstances for me not being where I want to be in certain areas of my life and I remembered that I can design my life the way I want no matter what my outside circumstances are?

What if I stopped resisting the truth,the whispers and started living by those instead?

What if?

Some questions I will be asking myself and they just might help you too!

What is it I am resisting?

How do I think it “should” look?

If I stop resisting “it” do I lose myself, my values?

What opportunity could be wrapped in that which I resist?
