Need and Give-Journal Prompt

Hey Beautiful Souls!

I encourage you to check in with yourself and ask what do you need and what can you give.

What do I need in my life, what support am I seeking? It might even be from yourself.

What can I give to someone else that would help support them in what they are seeking to create? It might be a listening ear, time, a smile, a hug, inspiration.

Actions-Journal Prompt

Hey Beautiful Souls

A powerful question I have been and need to continue to ask myself is one I thought other people could benefit from.

Are my actions and decisions supporting what I say my priorities and desires are?

I am not even suggesting at this point that you make a list of actions that will “correct” it if the answer is no, what I am encouraging us all to do including myself is to just be in truth with that answer.

Hands- Creative Prompt

Hey Inspiring Souls…

When I am documenting and noticing through the lens (and writing too) I like to capture details.. Sometimes a bigger picture tells the story best sometimes focusing in on the details is what tells the story best…

So lets look at that.. One of my favorite ways to capture the details of those I love is to photograph their hands… Could be while they are engaging in something they enjoy, or simply just their hands  on the table or on their lap… Capture the hands of someone you love today through a photo..

Feel like taking the story a bit further? Write a few words about those hands…

(This is an image of my Mothers hands holding a book.. something she is often doing she loves reading…) These hands are hard-working, gentle, firm, generous and full of stories and lessons I hope to learn…

Some thoughts- Little Inspirations

Hey Beautiful Souls!

This weeks Little Inspirations is in the form of a recording of some thoughts I had after doing  a good bit of visioning this last weekend. We are so often unwilling to be uncomfortable and anytime we go out of what is our normal it can be uncomfortable even if we want it.

I would love to know your thoughts on this after you listen..

Where we are vs where we desire to be

My Why.. Soul Musings

Hello Wonderful you!

I got a newsletter (via these lovlies) the other day where they talked about sharing more of you, more of your why you do what you do, why you create the programs, workshops, blog and Coach etc. It got me to thinking I am not sure I have really shared my why with you. Maybe it’s because sometimes you are driven and inspired by something within that you just can’t or have trouble putting words to. However I am going to do my best to share it with you today..

I keep blogging, I document the daily moments, I create programs because I can’t not do it. I so deeply want to inspire others and I am so often deeply inspired by others and by moments and things of life. I feel that by doing these things I am honoring and living my purpose. My purpose is to: Learn to Express myself fully and completely and to teach and inspire others to do the same. I know that I feel called to share this journey of expression and exploring the different ways it might show up, I am called to share it with others. I love it when others share what lights them up, what scares them, what delights them what their dreams are when they share themselves.

In each thing I bring forward, a blog post, coaching or  workshops I do my best to fully bring myself to it into it and to you. I create programs around being inspired,  living authentic  and creating because it’s how I am exploring and expressing myself. I don’t claim to have it all figured out, I do promise that I will do what I can to hold the space for you to do that and to use my love of connection and “listening between the lines” to help guide,encourage and inspire you to create a life that feels and is you…

The truth is we are in this together and I am right here along with you peeling back these layers of fear, lack and not enoughness to reveal what the truth is not the story I have told myself to keep myself safe. Just know you are not alone, even when I am guiding you, you are guiding me and inspiring me. I so appreciate you taking time to go along on this journey in whatever capacity you have been pulled to along with me.

Thank You for being you and for continuing to allow me to be me.. layer by layer..

That’s this weeks prompt, to listen and to ask yourself… What is my life, my body asking me for?
