{words} growing up.

"I am still in the process of growing up, but I will make no progress if I lose any of myself along the way."

~Madeleine L'Engle

Don't let someone else tell you who or what you are supposed to be.

You know in your soul where to go and what to do.

You might not know it yet, but all you have to do is listen to those little whispers of your heart. 

Listen and pray and never give in to someone else's plan for YOU.

You will grow and you will be beautiful.

always.

{words} magic.

"We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power

 we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better."

~J.K. Rowling

Go ahead, do it.

Jump into that idea that's been keeping you awake at night.

Let yourself believe the possibilities.

Don't back down.

{words} do without.

"To have what we want is riches; but to be able to do without is power."

~George Macdonald

Let's simplify.

We have a bad habit of gimme, gimme, gimme. 

Let's see that although we may want it, we don't really need it...and it's okay to stop buying stuff.

Let's find new uses for older things and know that we really do have enough.

Obviously, if something breaks or just needs to be replaced, that's okay too.

{words} free yourself.

"Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. 

If, in our heart, we still cling to anything- anger, anxiety, or possessions- we cannot be free."

~Thich Nhat Hanh

Let it go. 

Be free.

You will feel so much better...and lighter...and happier. 

I promise.

{words} imagine.

"The power of imagination makes us infinite."

~John Muir

Go on, do it. Daydream.

Imagine the life that you yearn for...

    Build your dream house...

    Think of  your future children... or of finding your one true love...

What does your perfect dream of life look like?

    Are you traveling the world? 

    Enjoying the foods of other countries? 

    Helping a lost and desperate soul? 

    Working for world peace?

    Using your God given talents to create beautiful art?

Or are you simply seeing your life as it already is? 

Counting blessings that you have already received?

Just imagine. No one can stop you, or think it's silly.

Dream it all. Believe it all.

Do this enough and something will come of it.
