The Wind Passes Up Ownership and Attachment And Continues To Flow

Posted on October 27, 2015October 27, 2015 by Kerri Elizabeth

When experiences can pass through like the winds, the wave, the storms and the falling of the leaves from the trees you allow the molding and changing of life’s purpose now and let go of the attachment of yesterday.

Kerri Elizabeth

In the acceptance of all an ocean exists with life.

Waves roll in, they subtlety and often fiercely mold the shore and the shore never resists but instead rejoices and invites the beauty of change and forgiveness.

Sodium, invisible to the eye becomes one with the water perfectly, like cells to your body.

The shoreline so ready and inviting to the wave accepts and recovers as they are one in a partnership to life.

The tree rocks in the wind never asking the wind not to blow but instead is a partnership in the existence of what” is”, bending and often breaking, repairing and strengthening for its purpose.

Leaves fall and the tree still stands.

New growth now has room to sprout and grow.

New color drops onto the canvas of life without asking or demanding, without fear or fault, without judgement or jealousy, it just “is”.

When anger or pain blow in like a storm or even a subtle breeze,

when hurt or suffering roll in like a wave,

when rainfall comes and drips a beautiful reminder we can be transparent and uncovered,

when leaves fall and give room to new growth and remind us to let go,

when the contrast of color in the fall inspires change and remind us life’s journey is a canvas of color not an eraser of courage and strength,

when the sunshine becomes a reminder, no shadow can exist on its surface and you are light,

when the night reminds you there is a time of stillness and calmness and it takes the place of fear and loneliness,

when a word of any kind takes flight like a bird flying south and there are not attachments to its belonging,

when a person’s actions become part of a play in the choice of theatres you choose to invest to take a seat in,

when you notice the tree is always a tree with ever changing shape and color,

when you notice the waves are always waves with always changing shape and size,

when you notice rain can come in many intensities,

when you feel the sun’s heat the closer you arrive,

When you’re aware and conscious you live.

Sunshine exists without a shadow.

You Are Your Own Decision

Posted on October 23, 2015 by Kerri Elizabeth

That someone else is also YOU!
Kerri Elizabeth

When I woke up my heart ached.
Last words spoken were no mistake.
Learning everyday to say,” I can decide”.
Growing everyday and putting the littler things aside.
Be careful not to own the judgements of someone else.
Most importantly let go of the judgements you put upon yourself.
Take the time you need to breathe and believe.
When loving someone else create a place they feel safe to be themselves.
Loving another isn’t conforming them to your way, it’s understanding and choosing to go or stay.
Attempting to limit another’s feelings based on how you think about things, is a clear reflection of change waiting to arise within yourself.
Some look to be taught.
Some look to learn.
Some decide to teach.
Some decide to give a speech.
Some decide they know the answer.
Some decide you will know there answer too.
Some share the joys and break rules along the way.
Some will decide there rules are the only way.
Thankfully some is the sum of whatever you think and feel today.
You decide for you and respect others for that too, right or wrong is up to you.
Sunshine every single day!

The Decision to Live

Posted on October 20, 2015October 20, 2015 by Kerri Elizabeth

The heart heals, the mind reminds, the soul leads and love forgives.

Kerri Elizabeth

Is your inner control mistaken for protection?

Get to the heart of the matter.

Judgement and decision, are you aware of your choice?

Action and reaction, the results will be different.

Offense or defense, take your position and responsibility for the outcome.

Love or jealousy, listen to your heart.

To hold on and to let go, releasing what holds you captive from joy.

To feel and to be free, allowing feelings to pass through, experience the strength growing to the other side of the matter.

To love and to live in love, when you choose to see love, love will be what you live.

To give and to receive with no expectations, letting go of the ties that bind you.

Revealing, authentic and present, staying true to your own evolution of growth and life.

A change is made from the responsibility of ownership of only our own thoughts.

Owning our moments, owning our actions, reactions and story, grants a choice to creatively grow.

Owning someone else’s actions holds us hostage in their story and takes away the opportunity to create change in our own story.

Be your story and the main character in your journey beyond limited beliefs.

Be courageous in letting go.

Be brave in knowing what you seek is seeking you.

Be patient in the process,

Letting go of owning another’s actions and reactions and living in their story removes you from your own story, taking personally only your own delivers you the options possibilities and choices to change.

Be still in the sound of another’s inner roar, hear the heartbeat and soul screaming to be heard, to be loved, accepted, nurtured and accepted.

Be still with a quiet heart and listen.

To give love, you must first be love.

To receive love, you must first love.

Sunshine

Dear Hero

Posted on October 13, 2015 by Kerri Elizabeth

Decide your thoughts and your thoughts will create feelings and your feelings will create you.

Kerri Elizabeth

Letting go of what I can not change and making room for growth.

I no longer miss you, my child, I realize you’re a part of me and your never gone.

I no longer mourn for you, I have let go of the emotional control I have held onto thinking it would bring you back the way I want you, instead you will arrive the way you choose to.

I decided to change me and my own thinking, I decided to let go of the control that keeps me emotionally stuck and enables you to grow to be your best self.

I no longer worry about you because I believe you have the strength to make the decisions you want in your life and trust you will tap into that.

I no longer hurt for you, my beautiful child; I accept you’re exactly where you need to be to go where you want to go.

I no longer desire to convince you I love you, I will wait for you to learn to receive the abundance when you’re ready.

I no longer feel bad for myself or you, I am grateful for every minute of your life I have been able to share with you.

I no longer cry in pain, I cry for the joyous breakthrough to allow you to carry your own pain and choose your own path and love you no matter what that is for you.

I no longer see and hear the sickness of drugs, I see and hear your heart and it will bring us together again someday on earth or in heaven.

I no longer need you, needing means lack of, you are in me and a part of me and I won’t breathe without those parts, they are me.

I no longer miss you, my child, your spirit chooses your path and I have let go to save my own spirit for the day I am blessed to hug and kiss you again.

You will arrive one day and you will see only love and forgiveness and acceptance that are the true reflection of yourself.

From the lessons of four children to a mother, some circumstances are out of our control but all thoughts we are in control of.

From one child in a circumstance of chance and not choice and another in a circumstance of choice, not chance, each chooses the thoughts and healing direction of their path, each holds heroic warrior strength and each will use it when they choose to, it is there for the taking.

As a mother, my strength is to love them through their growth and never ever stop, my lesson is to let go and be present in love while they learn their way.

SUNSHINE ALWAYS AND FOREVER!

Keep Your Eyes On The Light

Posted on October 9, 2015 by Kerri Elizabeth

Take in the light and be aware of any darkness that may sneak in, the light is your armour keep it within.

Kerri Elizabeth

Every moment matters.

Yes every moment matters.

Do not miss this moment worrying about a moment that hasn’t happened yet.

Every moment you worry about what’s ahead you lose what is now.

Take in every moment and what is in it.

Are you thinking about what you are doing or what someone else is doing?

Are you taking in what serves your healing and your heart?

Are you searching for how to change someone else’s heart, or staying present in your part?

Are you reaching for a solution that is in the hands of someone else forgetting we can only change ourselves?

Our thoughts are purely our own, no matter what happens to us, the thoughts we have come from within us.

Are you taking on your own pain or have you been submerged in another’s pain and can’t understand why it still remains?

When we take on another’s pain we can’t change it, it’s only pain we can let go of, it didn’t belong to us when we decided to own it.

The same with joy and happiness, with giggles and laughs and hugs attached, it’s contagious and we take it on, we own it and it gives us the strength to go on.

We have to keep the flow of greatness coming in; it’s the energy that builds us within.

What is most important is to learn to let go where we have no control.

To let in what helps us grow.

SUNSHINE ON YOUR SHOULDERS

Missing a Heartbeat

Posted on September 23, 2015 by Kerri Elizabeth

Missing another heartbeat up close, speaks volumes to the connection of love and hope.

Kerri Elizabeth

Missing a heartbeat up close.

Missing a touch, a talk, a warm embrace.

Missing them in your space.

Missing that place.

In this present moment I reflect on times that centered me and protected me and gave me hope.

Happiness is part of me, it isn’t something I look for, it is simply part of what I live for.

Reflecting on the beauty of a person or place, a moment to remember a warm embrace is a blessing you brought into your space.

No matter what the circumstance is, missing someone comes from within.

Like happiness, missing someone becomes part of you ,when they impact your life and your heart too.

Even when you might not see them in a day or hear their voice in the moment you have something to say, they are with you all the way.

Have you ever missed someone that was next to you and their pain also became part of you?

Letting go of carrying another’s pain gives you strength to remain strong in their name.

Loving and not letting go of someone else’s pain becomes a gift you gain.

When you can love someone through their pain and not let the pain become part of you, then the healing becomes about both of you.

When you own the pain of someone else, they then have to experience it in more than themselves.

Let go of another’s pain and love them instead where they are and give them a hand and share your heart so that healing can be in two hearts.

Sunshine is a promise, even when the sun goes down and darkness is found, the sunrise will come, it’s a promise we won.

LOVE YOU ALWAYS SUNSHINE!

The Beat Is

Posted on September 21, 2015September 21, 2015 by Kerri Elizabeth

When the heart knows gratitude will be the beat!

Kerri Elizabeth

Finding the heart balance.

The heart speaks the truth the mind lets loose.

If you listen to the heart there is nothing that can tear you apart.

Your heart feels the stress and shows you when to rest.

Your heart is your beat, it tells you where to move your feet.

Your heart is your compass to present purpose and comfort.

Follow the way your heart leads you and love in the way your heart needs you.

Your heart calls you in to win; can you listen and feel the beat again?

Listen quietly to the beat within; cleanse your heart, your soul, your mind.

Give your body time to rest, let your heart beat be at its best.

Cry if that’s what you need, and listen to the call of where your heart leads.

Don’t get stuck in a feeling that keeps you trapped from believing.

Believe in the heart and let it do its part!

Natures Trance

Posted on September 15, 2015September 15, 2015 by Kerri Elizabeth

Natures trance is there for you, take it in and enjoy it too, the beauty of nature’s face is looking back at you.

Kerri Elizabeth

Waking up to the crisp morning air, summer is gone and fall is near.

Childhood memories are everywhere, the woods, the lakes, the rivers, the snakes, the deer, the bears and the mountain air.

The crispy fall breeze is also filled with my young adventurous childhood thrills.

The crackle of a fire is part of my heart’s desire; my toes get closer to the warmth of the woodstoves heat I admire.

Looking deep into the colorful flames the movement of the fire sets me into a trance of my childhood past.

I remember running through the woods every twig crackling under me, hearing the crinkle of the leaves and pulling up my sleeves.

I can also see my mom drinking coffee to the whisper of the wind, listening in her mind to the rivers voice within.

She would lose herself in time, I could see it on her face, as a child I didn’t know it was nature’s trance that kept her safe.

I slowly lose myself now inside nature’s trance too, just as I saw my mother’s eyes leaving at a glance in the feeling she knew.

Nature saves my mother’s soul and now as I softly disappear to the beauty of the morning air, I can feel the healing of my mother’s heart and the years I thought we grew apart.

Really what was happening in those years we were apart, was truly the wisdom we gained to love each other with a more compassionate heart.

Going inside and leaving fear and seeing my life through my mother’s tears, rewrites the moments I was sure she had disappeared.

Nature’s trance is part of me, a way, a face, a feeling, a place, a childhood friend, chopping wood and a fire leaving my life more understood.

I can thank you mom for so much more, thank you for raising me with the great outdoors.

Sunshine

The great outdoors has lead me now to the next part of my life.

BLUE IS ALL AROUND YOU

Posted on September 10, 2015 by Kerri Elizabeth

When the mountains collide with the sky and blue is on your side, life is delivering a present that’s even bigger than life outside.

Kerri Elizabeth

Blue is the color of the sky and blue is the color of those eyes.

When your heart divides and time is on your side, nothing falls to the way side.

Gravity shifts and energy lifts and the pull is more than you can take.

Release resistance and go with persistence, and let your heart lead you where to go.

When your heart divides feel the vibration inside move you back to the place where love is alive.

When your heart divides and life outside leads you deep down to the core inside, feel the depth of your why and find words to describe something you never new could even come alive.

The driveway ahead was almost clear with just a few branches to push aside the end of the road was near.

My heart was calmly following the path that was ahead, not ever even wondering what was about to change my world, was a place I couldn’t have dreamed and is now uncovered and revealed.

Was it the heart undivided and the peace and solitude?

Was it the sky in front of me with intensity I’d never seen?

The mountain and the trees were surrounding what was real and giving me more than I ever could of dreamed a heart that had been divided could really truly feel.

What my eyes couldn’t believe and my feelings couldn’t escape came in the intensity of nature’s masculinity perfectly made.

Letting go to more shook me to my core, I had no idea when I opened that door that life had so much more.

Thank you life for leading me to this very place, that spending time outdoors was where I would feel my heart race.

Sunshine is shining on you and me and in this place peace surrounds me and love has found me, and life abounds in me and excitement to reach the depth of you is everything I want to do.

Sunshines on the lake and life is full in every embrace!

BLUE IS ALL AROUND YOU
