My Birthday Girl

Eight years ago, I became a Mom to this incredible little girl. She has taught me more by just her sheer presence in my life than just about anyone ever could. She lives in the moment, she runs with joy, she is who she is, and she loves with her whole heart. She challenges me, she inspires me. She lights up my life.

Happy birthday, to my best girl! Momma adores you. xx

What an Inspiration: Caitlin McGauley

I was introduced to the illustrations of Caitlin McGauley and felt truly connected to her work. Her illustrations are simply divine - full of color, dimension, detail - I could frame them all and never tire of a single one. No matter the season, or the occasion, her work will perfectly encapsulate it!

How you must hop over and see her prints for purchase. Can we discuss what a treasure one will be to give for Mother's Day?

What is Your Soul's Ideal?

As we head into the weekend, my lovelies, I had to share with you an excerpt from the book I'm currently reading, Wishes Fulfilled, by Dr. Wayne Dyer. The following excerpt has officially been starred with red marker as I continue to reflect on and refer to these powerful words:

"The ideal of your soul, the thing that it yearns for, is not more knowledge. It is not interested in comparison, nor winning, nor light, nor ownership, nor even happiness. The ideal of your soul is space, expansion, and immensity, and the one thing it needs more than anything else is to be free to expand, to reach out and embrace the infinite. Why? Because your soul is infinity itself. It has no restrictions or limitations - it resists being fenced in - and when you attempt to contain it with rules and obligations, it is miserable. Your invisible self is extraordinary because it is a fragment of the universal soul, which is infinite. The part of you that knows you have greatness, and is stirred by the idea of you expanding and removing any and all limitations ... this is your new self-concept, one that is inspired by your soul." 

Amazing, right? What is your soul's ideal? What does that mean to you? I would love to hear your thoughts on this ...

Wishing you a beautiful weekend!
