Space For Something New

6 Comments

Some changes look negative on the surface but you will soon realize that space is being created in your life for something new to emerge.I love buttercups, so when I saw this one growing up through a crack in our back patio, I just had to take a photo of it. It absolutely amazes me that something so beautiful can grow, completely on it's own, in such  difficult circumstances. All it needed was the opportunity.

It reminded me of these equally beautiful words from Eckhart Tolle, which I dug up from the inspiration box to share with you.

So, for all of you out there who have suffered through a heart wrenching break-up (which is just about all of us), just know that all endings, whether of our own choosing or not, create space in our lives for something new, something better, to begin.

We just have to allow ourselves to be open to it.

This Really Is The Best Kind Of Love

The Best Kind of Love - fun and romantic love notes on the mirror.You probably could have guessed this about me, but I absolutely love love stories.  I just found this one recently, and it’s definitely going in the inspiration box.

I'm not sure exactly why, but this one really had the tears welling up.  It may be since I’ll be celebrating 10 years of marriage this year, so I can really relate to what the author is saying, but I can also still so vividly remember the early days of bluer skies and sunnier sunshine.  I still cherish the memories of those days, with all of the excitement, anticipation, and sparks.

It’s true that as we move down the path of life with our partner, the love does change.  It no longer includes the butterflies in the stomach before I see him, nor does it include the excitement of the long, sensual kiss in the doorway.

No, the butterflies have long since been replaced with the sweet anticipation of picking him up at the airport after a trip, after missing him for so long (even though it's usually only a couple of days). And the long sensual kiss in the doorway has now been replaced with “oh good, the kids are finally asleep…”Continue Reading

Something from The Inspiration Box

A beautiful woman is in a field with her arms outstretched and her face to the sky, feeling inspired by love.
I hope this gives you a bit of inspiration today.

Here’s one of my favorite poems that I've found inspiration in many times over the years.

This one I had on a print hanging on my wall when I was in my twenties; it’s now very tattered and worn from taking it down off the wall and hanging it back up each time I moved.

Unfortunately, it’s now too worn, torn and creased to display on the wall, but I keep the print folded in my inspiration box to enjoy on those rare occasions when I have a chance to take the box down from the closet, sit and look through it.Continue Reading

The Inspiration Box

A beautiful woman looks out over the ocean.
And you learn.

Today I was sorting through a box of old papers and books I found tucked way up on a high shelf in the back of the closet.

I had all but forgotten about this box of sentimental items so carefully packed away in a corner of the closet, left over memories from a life I had almost forgotten about.

Among other things, in it I found some letters I wrote to myself back in my single days, when love seemed like such a faraway dream. Many of them were sayings and quotes that touched me deeply.

I would read these to myself on the dark, lonely nights, and they helped to inspire me to keep going.

One of the papers in particular caught my eye, as it had a poem written on it that I had come across long ago, and printed out to save in this special box. As I read it today, it brought back such a flood of memories for me, tears were streaming down my face as I remembered that earlier version of myself, so uncertain.

I want to share it with all of you. May it inspire and help you as much as it did me.Continue Reading
