Nature is beautiful. And it speaks truth.
Spring follows even the longest winters.
Flowers bloom from even the most frozen ground.
Birds fly south and then return home.
Baby animals are born.
The stream flows down, around the rocks, and trickles back into the lakes and oceans.
The sun comes out.
The rain falls.
The wind blows.
The world turns and the sun glows.
The breath renews the body.
Air, sunlight, food, exercise, family, and LOVE.
They heal and nourish and help us grow.
Nature is pure truth, the way it is supposed to work, untouched perfectly balanced. Time. Seasons. Birth. Death. Rebirth. Growth.
It is like that with us too.
So when you feel like giving up, when you need some inspiration, when you are trying to find balance and restore your soul -- look no further than the world around you.
Time heals. Seasons change. Spring, always comes.
Balance restores itself.

Don't Judge People
One of the things I've learned in life the hard way, is not to judge people.
It's so easy to get caught up in your own world, thinking you know everything about how everyone should be, act, what they should do, say, and how they should handle everything. It's easy to judge and be opinionated about so many things. But it's so true that you have no idea what each person is going through in their lives, on the inside, what feelings and struggles and hardships people are facing. It's easy to judge when your life looks great. But it's another thing to be compassionate and realize that everyone has their own journey to go through and you never know what they are facing unless you walk in their shoes. You just don't know why they are doing what they are doing. Maybe it's the best they can do. Maybe it's the only thing they can do. Maybe it's because they don't know better, or they can't do better, or they are dealing with their own struggles or suffering that you know nothing of. Please be kind and resist the urge the judge. Think the best of people. Offer a helping hand. A smile. A word of encouragement. But please don't judge. You have no idea what they are up against.
Everyone can use a kind word and a smile. Everyone can use compassion. Everyone can use encouragement or a helping hard.
Remember this: Don't judge someone unless you've walked in their shoes.
Be kind. Walk in love and compassion. It is always the right thing to do.
Love,
Your mom.

Be Happy
No matter what is going on around you, you can choose to be happy.
It's harder when the things going on are inside of you, or with your own health, or body or mind. But remember, even still, happiness is a choice. It's a THOUGHT. It's an action. It's a smile. It's a feeling.
You have to allow yourself to FEEL happy.
There are so many things to be happy about in this world. Each breath is a gift. Each sound in nature. Each friend or person who is part of your life, or even walks past you. Take PART in happiness by creating it. Join in with others who are happy. Tell yourself that you ARE happy. Smile, dance, breath and allow yourself to feel that deep sense of peace that comes from inside. That's where happiness lies. That's where you can find it.
And it's a choice. It's a feeling. It's a way of BEING.
I love you.
Love in happiness.
Love your life.
Love being alive.
Trust that happiness is yours for the taking.
And then take it. Don't wait for it to come to you. Reach out for it.
YOU have the power.
I love you.
Your mom,

A Vibrant Wonderful Happy You
All starts in your mind.
Picture it. Feel it. Embrace it. Call it to life, though the mental picture of how you want to look, how you want to feel, how you want to move, how you want to think, how you want to be at your best most vibrant wonderful happy self. Really see it.
Now FEEL it. It feels good to be alive. The world is right. And you can do anything. Call this picture to life and let it be the only option for you. It IS your destiny. You ARE that person. Hold onto it tight and feel the radiance and brilliance and joy in life and in your mind, body, emotions, an soul. Let yourself feel happy. Let yourself feel healthy. Let yourself feel alive. Let yourself feel like the most vibrant passionate you.
And then, let it be so.
You CAN become that person. That vision of your perfect self, but first you have to believe. You have to erase the broken versions of yourself that are blocking you. That do not live up. That stand in your way to creating the perfect happy healthy life that is waiting for you. You have more power than you will ever know. It's all inside you waiting to get out. This perfect wonderful amazing healthy powerful peaceful and whole happy person. You can create whatever you want for your life, no matter what obstacles you are up against.
But first you have to let the images that weigh you down go.
Then you have to see yourself as the image of yourself that you want more than anything.
And you can never look back. THIS is your new image. Your new reality.
Now, BELIEVE it.
And, it will be so.
You can heal yourself on every level if you first use your mind, emotion, and soul, to convey the right messages to your body. Think positive. Only positive. Do not let the doubts creep in. They can only weigh you down or block you.
The healing comes from the feeling. And cutting off all other mental images from your mind and heart. You WILL be whole. You ARE the perfect vision of you, coming to life more and more and more with each passing day. Your life is beautiful and you will thrive.
You are happy, vibrant, and healthy! Say it loud and proud. And then continue to say it forever.
Guess, what?
You just healed yourself!
I love you.

Life Lessons/Advice/and Secrets for my Children
Today I start a journey to write a book for my children, as a legacy of my life, to give them advice, lessons, and secrets that I want them to have as a guidebook for their lives.
I love you Cooper and Everlie.
Nobody knows what will happen in this world. But I do know this -- I love you both more than anything and I want you to live the lives of your dreams. But most important, I want you to be happy, have peace, and love in your hearts.
Love Forever,
Your Mom
