Be In Love With Your Life... every teeny tiny stinking detail of it.

That is such a romantic thought, I love my life… but every teeny tiny stinking detail of it? Come on- how can that be… Life is hard, life is messy… life sometimes throws you stuff you don’t think you could ever handle, it knocks you down, stomps on you a little - how do you love it through all of that? how? how is it even possible? 

Sometimes it is easier on the look back, they say "hindsight is 20/20” this means when you are looking back on your life, you actually have perfect vision of it- you can see the invisible hand of God… you can see how hard things worked out for the good, and you can see the grace that flowed.

Duy and I have been through the wringer (more than once) we have had hard stuff happen… but looking back on it, it has made our hearts grow- it has changed us, moulded us, created two new people- different than we were when we first met, even different than we were just last year… I am humbled, by the way things happen, by the bigger picture, and by grace.

So today- try it, try to love every detail of your life, see if it is even possible, look back over the trying times, the good times, the fun times, the hard times and see if you can love it, all of it... every teeny tiny stinking detail of it. Can you see grace that flowed? Can you see the fruit it produced?

We may not understand the why- because (as my mother says) we don’t need to understand everything, we just have to accept it… 

Share the love today!

Find Joy.

Sometimes it is the simple things in life that bring joy. Today I am going to try not to let those simple pleasures pass me by. Instead I will notices them and acknowledge the peace and joy and they bring.

Finding Joy in the simple stuff, ought to be simple right? we shall see... life gets in the way of truly living sometimes- but don't listen to the voice in your head that says- shouldn't there be more? am I doing enough...

YES, you are doing enough, because YOU ARE ENOUGH!

Today choose to find Joy... in everything, loading the dishwasher, taking out the trash, cleaning up after supper, loving your kids, changing a diaper, listening to the birds...

Share the love,
M.

of course, my joy started this morning with coffee :)

In This Home... By Sarah Magill

This quote is on a beautiful peg board that my mom gave me- it sits in a place of honour in our home. I read it a lot. I try to live by it... the loud part, I have no problem with, the grace part is another story.

I wanted to share it with you. It was originally written by Sarah Magill for Hallmark- you can follow her on pinterest here. She is a talented and inspired woman- be inspired.

You are Enough.

I posted a little doodle of this on Instagram (if you aren't chilling with me yet on Instagram, you can find me here)  because I needed to hear it yesterday... I wasn't the only one.

Here are 2 beautifully simple printables to remind us, that we are enough...

Share this with those you feel need to hear it. We live in a crazy world of expectations, the fact that you are here, living and breathing means that you have a destiny and a purpose, and that you are enough. Do not strive to achieve something,  allow it to flow through you... and it will when you trust that you are enough.

Saddling Up Anyway.

Happy Monday!
Here is a quote from my favourite cowboy, John Wayne.
I grew up watching this man be a hero! He may have been my first crush.

This print is fantastic for a little guys room, or for an office space, or for anywhere.
SO Saddle Up!

Because Sometimes I Need a Reminder...

I often need a reminder to keep my thoughts on positive things, don't get bogged down in negativity. (seriously!)
This one is for me! It's a reminder to keep things that are; true, honest, just, pure, lovely and good on my mind. Sweep out the crap thoughts, and keep GOOD thoughts.

Feel free to print it if you need a reminder every once in awhile too :) 
Remember you are not alone!
Please Pin this, and tweet this and share this on Facebook! I'd like to spread a little positivity today- and I NEED your help!
