Be Real

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

She stood in the storm and when the wind  didn’t blow her away she adjusted her sails.

Elizabeth Edwards

Be real with who you are.

Be confident in what you do.

Be sturdy on your feet.

Be true to the ones you meet.

Be the best that you can be.

Find peace inside your heart, and never allow anyone to tear you apart.

Share compliments and grace, find love in each face.

When you hit a hurdle in life, build your strength up to get over it once not twice.

There will be bumps in the road; there will be disappointments that seem like a heavy load.

When you let go of negative thinking that holds you back, you make room for the joy that can last.

Joy doesn’t come from your things; first you must feel it within as if you had wings.

Breathe in and breathe out, feel the air move you about.

Turn life into fun, don’t turn away from it and run.

Run into your life with passionate intention.

Get off of the ground, jump up and down.

Smile and let go, life has so much to show.

Let go of the masks and show who you are, believe you are loved no matter what because you are.

Inside is your peace.

In order to feel it, you must let go and release.

To live is a choice, to enjoy comes from an inner voice.

Listen carefully to what is there for you.

Find amazement is what God made for you.

Sunshine!

Inspired

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

The cost of not following your heart is spending the rest of your life wishing you had.

Soul inspired.

Heart required.

Captured by a feeling.

Separated by distance.

Hope carried me to a place.

Free will now determines this new space.

No matter what the outcome is did you follow your heart there?

Pulled in a direction I had to go.

An internal pull and connection I wanted to know.

Sunsets along the way.

Sunrises to start the day.

The mountains seemed as if they could talk, guiding me along the way.

Roads curving, mountains grabbing the roads as if they pushed and pulled them in the path they laid.

The miles of open land that most never see was just waiting to be appreciated by more than just me.

The moon on Montana was as if it was set there to stay, it felt as if I could touch it and climb on it to play.

The rivers seemed to bend and break for miles on end, leaving thoughts of how the snow so sweetly shared to extend.

My soul was touched by the beautiful space.

What would I learn from this new place?

I learned that I can take a chance and let go of fear.

I learned that God is always near.

I learned that no matter what you feel, you’re responsible for all that you decide to reveal.

I learned that no matter what you see, you’re responsible for how you choose to be.

I learned that no matter where you are in your life, experience and change is good advice.

I learned that you will meet people along your journey, they will impact you and move you, give you hope and approve of you.

I learned that no matter what is approved, the deepest emotion is how far you were moved.

The depth of the journey is different for us all; the most important part is where did it leave you so far?

What will you learn, did you grow, how will it impact your life as you go?

Will it guide you to a new starting place or will it simply be a journey to a better place?

How will you perceive the path given?

Live out loud for your best, don’t ever let anyone tell you less.

Believe in more, reach without limits, love without expectations and live with all your might and give with all that’s right.

Be still when you need to be still, heal when you need to heal, listen to the voice inside and be thankful to your guiding light.

Shining only the best in your heart, change lives as you go and live intertwined within the glow.

Miles of Moments

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

Moments can last forever and moments can stretch for miles, be present in each moment and each moment will be present with you.

Kerri Elizabeth

A journey of the heart.

Miles of moments.

Thoughts creating movement.

Movements creating inspiration.

Inspiration creating a fierce passion for living your best life.

Living creates moments of knowing.

Knowing gives clarity.

Clarity gives calmness.

I found calmness in trusting my spirit.

I found encouragement in inspiration.

I found movement in the calling of my heart.

I found courage when I laid down fear.

I found freedom when I looked at life as my best friend.

I found out I was love when I grabbed a hold of what was above.

I found peace learning how to breathe.

I found sunshine is everywhere you go.

I found out not everyone knows.

I found that in every person there is a story.

I found that in every story there is a person.

I found out that no matter where I go, there I am so I better let go.

Take the time to breathe.

Take the time to believe.

Take the time to feel calmness.

Take time to be encouraged.

Take the time to let go.

Take the time to know.

Take the time to let your heart grow.

Take time for your mind.

Take time for your spirit.

Take the time to give greatness.

Take the time to receive greatness.

Take the time to reach the depth of your calling.

Sunshine comes from the inside out, shine it and let it out!

A Mixture of All that is Right

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be. 

Maya Angelou

Adventure, spontaneous, responsibility, direction, this sounds like a cookie mix to live and gather.

Just like a cookie, enjoy the taste, let it melt in your life like a sweet southern taste.

Have you ever sold almost everything you own and opened your life to what was actually home?

Have you ever just thought about sitting under the moon and appreciating the feeling that comes with letting go and having more room?

Have you ever just sat and wondered, how did the sun get so bright and what makes thunder ignite?

Have you ever just sat and heard someone breathe and felt the air go back and forth like a summer breeze?

Have you ever just sat and looked in someone’s eyes and saw the depth of their heart and the life inside?

When was the last time you felt the wind, stood there and wondered if it would hold you up if you lean and give in?

When was the last time you just took a drive a destination unplanned and you took off as a surprise?

Have you ever just stood in the pouring rain, looked up and was thankful for all you’ve gained?

Have you ever just listened to the frogs at night, talking to the sounds as if you know what their saying is wrong or right?

When was the last time you turned the music on loud, you danced and you sang and didn’t have a care to worry about?

When was the last time you stayed up all night just to listen to someone tell you about the joys of their life?

Have you ever thought about how many things in a day you can explore, or do you sit tight and use the words I’m bored?

When was the last time you just got excited, did something with feeling, something with passion something that drives you with compassion?

Live with intention life is an invention.

Look inside, follow your heart, wherever you go, no matter the risk, whatever the problem, there is always a lesson in the growth that it took.

Sunshine on your face, smile  and give life an embrace.

Momentum

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

Your attitude, not your aptitude determines your altitude.

Zig Zigler

An amazing thing happens when you get honest with your life.

Decide what you want, evaluate your path, stay true to your heart it’s a valuable part.

There will be people that love you that want you to grow.

There will also be people that will have advice to show.

When you settle inside for less than your worth, chances are good you’re living behind unhealed hurt.

What do you want and how do you feel, what is the reflection from what you reveal?

What do you see for your life ahead?

What are your dreams and desires are they fed or have you settled inside for less instead?

Is it painful to reach for what is best?

Is it going to take you out of your comfort distressed?

Will you take the struggle and gain strength from the test?

Will you rise and shine and reach for more and not less?

An amazing thing happens when you get clear.

Life opens up and you want to live without fear.

Fear becomes a cloud that passes you by, and life opens up for you to fly.

Every lesson you have ever learned has now given you flying hours you have earned.

You are able to design the life you’re meant to have, take it, believe it, grasp it and achieve it.

Your wings are intact and you’re ready to fly, speak it out loud it sounds like, “Delta, River, Sky, Blue, and Sunshine”.

It’s your turn to take off now, don’t slow down or when you take off you’ll hit the ground.

Get some speed, feel the power, gain momentum, speak to the tower.

Your life is a gift it wasn’t given to borrow, take it and live it and look forward to today and tomorrow.

The Dance of Life

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

Dance because you can!

Kerri Elizabeth

Turns out in life there are new steps being created every day.

You can do the waltz you can do the shuffle and you can move fast with the hustle.

When a song comes on that was meant for you, dance to it, you’ll be able to feel it’s for you.

Don’t shut down the sound, don’t run away, dance with it every day.

If the song is right you’ll be able to hear it, the sound is inside you’ll know it and feel it.

Don’t hurry it through, don’t miss the feeling it brings you and don’t lose the beat that’s made just for you.

Your feet will move, your emotions will be pulled, your heart will take hold and you will need to be bold.

Dance to the song, close your eyes, do your feet move with ease and or is it a compromise?

Are you dancing alone or with someone at home?

There is a dance in everything we do, a conversation has it too.

Watch the steps in your life, put them together, are they making a dance and challenging you to be better?

Be a part of the dance whatever song you choose, turn up the volume and determine the moves.

It takes time to create a dance, it takes time to create the moves but when you put it together it should flow and continue to improve.

Dance with your thoughts and dance with your heart, create a song inside that both dance together and not apart.

There is a dance floor in life and the music changes with the lights if you can’t feel the beat when the lights are low then the dance floor is simply a place you’ll never grow.

Keep dancing and growing and finding your beat, the music is playing feel it under your feet.

The lights are on you, what will you do when the song starts to play and everything inside you start to sway?

Sunshine on your dance, move to the beat, find the rhythm within you, it’s like a heartbeat.

Application

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

Be Brave with your wisdom or it simply is just a decision.

Kerri Elizabeth

In the face of a journey in life, you must know when to open our eyes.

Often we learn the lesson and then we get the opportunity to test our strength and make an impression.

When you train for life it is like training for an event, you must be ready to re-invent.

One day you can go the distance and the next you beat your time, then you must evaluate and be ready for a new climb.

You will hit a wall and you’ll have to climb, often struggling without a clear and concise sign.

You will have to risk, push and learn, you won’t grow if keep going back to the same turn.

It is when your up against what you think is your new limit where you have the opportunity to show you can win it.

Apply the lessons you worked so hard to overcome, don’t forget the journey, you weren’t meant to come un-done.

Don’t forget the struggle, what was important and what really mattered, it was the pain you endured, the feelings you felt, the lessons you learned and the determination from what was dealt.

Don’t stop believing, reaching and giving,  remember where you came from and what you’re receiving.

Listen to your heartbeat and the pattern of your breathing, close your eyes and feel the distance close in and not leaving.

When your eyes are closed what do you see?

What do you feel and what does your heart reveal?

Can you risk knowing that you empowered your own life, when you are now set up to take your own advice?

Will you climb to the top to see over or will you stop and go back to what you just got over?

Will you trust that the other side will bring more altitude and challenge your attitude and allow more gratitude?

Stand in this space and breathe in perspective.

Reflect on your journey, your purpose and place.

Be true to the lessons you took the time to embrace.

Sunshine in believing that there is a gift of giving and receiving in this moment of rest and perceiving.
