~ my secret garden ~

This is where I go when I want to get away from the world ~ a magical, beautiful place that I have created in my mind where I feel safe, relaxed and content. Someday I'll live in a garden like this . . .  

life is fleeting

I read the other day that some species of butterflies only live for a couple days ~ and I tried to image what that would be like to come into the world ~ to be born ~ and then expire just a couple days after. And it made me think, if I had only a couple days to live, flying through the air with the most beautiful wings, from flower to flower and letting the wind carry me away ~ wouldn't be so bad!


I really LOVE purple ~ I can see why it's the color of kings ~ it is so flattering!

and when you die you wake up . . .

I like to toss around ideas in my head about what our reality really is and what it will be like after our bodies die and we travel the galaxy at the speed of light*!

Hmmm, who do I want to be today??

Live Free

Get to know yourself through journaling

It's really interesting to see what comes out when you sit down to journal. Sometimes it's stupid stuff, like a to do list of sorts. Other times, it's grievances with loved ones that you are trying to resolve. I think it seems most poignant when you look back at a journal entry ~ that you may have written a month ago or a year ago and you see yourself from a whole different perspective. Maybe you see how you worked through that problem. Or maybe you realize what you have accomplished. But, my favorite is when I realize just how much I have grown! 

Grateful for life

So many people lost their lives 10 years ago in such a tragic way. I am so thankful to be alive and healthy and still enjoying this beautiful world we live in! Peace out.
