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.

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

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.

Determine the Matter

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

Determination is a state of well being a place you have direction and purpose, light and hope, new opportunity and new strength to build on. It’s a place you never lose at.

Kerri Elizabeth

Determined no matter what.

No matter what I will make this happen.

No matter how many tears it takes, I’ll let them flow, and keep going.

No matter how many face plants I do, I’ll wash my face and get back up.

No matter what gets in the way, I will be strong enough to move through it, past it or over it.

No matter how much it hurts, I will feel it, learn from it, and then accept that it no longer has power over me, in me or around me.

No matter how confused I tell myself I feel, I always know the answer.

No matter how tired I am, I can always do more.

No matter how many times I fall, standing up over and over gives me a tighter a@@ and better shoulders, so I can accept that.

No matter how frustrated I feel, breathing always makes it better.

No matter what the circumstance is there is always a solution.

No matter how fearful it is I will remember fear is a feeling, not a circumstance, evaluate and regroup.

No matter how hard life feels in a moment, you can count on that moment passing.

No matter what you do, you only get 24 hours in a day , 365 days in a year and most importantly you only get one chance to make that day the best you can, live them wisely and with all you are.

Remember to smile, to love, to share, to breathe, to hear, to see, to touch, to experience and learn all you possibly can.

Live without limits and create a legacy of greatness that will last forever.

SUNSHINE ON YOU AND AROUND YOU!

Lifes Moments

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

The most significant change in a person’s life is their attitude. Right attitude produces right action.

Life is a surprise, open it.

Life is abundant, experience it.

Life is love, feel it.

Life is an adventure, take it.

Life is blooming, water it.

Life has an appetite, feed it.

Life gives desire, smile at it.

Life teaches you, learn from it.

Life challenges you, challenge it back.

Life presents to you, be prepared.

Life offers you an education, don’t miss an assignment.

Life is in color, absorb it.

Life has depth, step into it.

Life has struggles, stay strong.

Life is a gift, don’t waste it.

Life can bring a storm, be the eye of it.

Life brings rain, stomp in the puddles.

Life brings sunshine, grasp the beauty of the rays.

Life is in every moment; rejoice in the opportunity of it.

Passion

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

Passion is the oxygen of the soul.

Bill Butler

The heart knows the pain the love and the way.

To feel, life is to feel the pounding of the heart in every way.

Experience the sheer joy of oxygen flowing through you, reminding you you’re alive.

To live is to risk being more than you think your mind knows.

Open the pages of the mind and let the heart read the writing.

What does your heart say that your mind won’t allow?

Do you have goals and dreams that get held back from the thinking that interferes with the heart’s desires?

Run and let your cadence guide your heart.

Ride and let your heart gain strength.

Swim and let your heart rest in the journey of what is to come.

Find a passion that you can see the shimmering of life’s beautiful glances.

Be wild and fierce in your desires, live with untamed greatness inside.

Push through the last moments when your mind says no but your heart says yes.

Listen to the conflict inside and guide the conversation to success.

Live with tenacity to make what you desire happen, never give up or give in to the thought you are not enough, but only to the thought you are more than enough and all you desire is in your reach.

DON’T STOP REACHING!

DON’T STOP PUSHING!

DON’T STOP WHERE YOU ARE THERE IS MORE!

Sunshine on tenacity and fierce living.

Everyone is someone’s child

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

If we could all see the world through the eyes of a child, we would see the magic in everything!

He walks with little steps, I hear the cars crash into each other.

He walks across the room and bangs the box of blocks against his legs.

His little voice is always talking and telling you what he’s doing.

He lights up my day with his presence.

He’s changed my life in so many ways.

Then his brother came along and added to the days.

Nothing can change this kind of love.

My grandson’s came in my life and I’ll never be the same.

They are love and light and sunshine in my soul.

Their smile and giggle console.

Take a moment in your day to look at a child and say, YOU’RE MY HERO!

Take a moment every day and let a child know there smile matters!

A child comes in all different ages, stages and places, you are someone else’s child, don’t forget YOU!

Have you ever really looked into the eyes of a child when you say,” you are amazing?”

Have you really taken in the smile on a child’s face when you say,” you are incredible and your smile makes my day?”

Don’t forget the little things today; whether you are a grown child or have a young child or grandchild embrace the laughter, the love, the joy and the smiles.

Don’t forget everyone is someone’s child.

Make a difference in someone’s life today!

Sunshine in every word, sunshine in every smile, sunshine in your thoughts, sunshine in the moments we often let slip by, sunshine on every moment, and sunshine on every hope and every dream and sunshine in the eyes of every child,  sunshine on you because you matter to me.

Ask First

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”

—Oscar Wilde

I want to know if you smile every day.

I want to know if it’s just a display.

I want to know where you come from.

I want to know what makes you feel undone.

I want to know your bucket list.

I want to know if you’re an idealist.

I want to know what is exciting to you.

I want to know if live it too.

I want to know what you like to eat.

I want to know if you deal with defeat.

I want to know what you think when you see the moon.

I want to know if you assume.

I want to know if you have a goal.

I want to know if you try to control.

I want to know if you can let go.

I want to know if you feel whole.

I want to know what you fear.

I want to know what you draw near.

I want to know that you can be the very best part of me.

Ask the questions that inspire you to know.

What you want to know about someone else you need to know first about yourself.

Have you thought lately about getting to know you?

When was the last time you asked yourself how about you too?

To know you first, you know what you can give.

To love you first allows you to forgive.

To live with you first will allow you to see others worth.

To learn about what you want gives clarity to what you will receive.

To give to yourself, you will gain capacity to give to others.

To receive from yourself, you will learn to receive from another.

To see your greatness will reflect the greatness of others.

It all starts with you.

So when you ask the question to another, remember you first are the other.

Sunshine!

Component

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

Discipline is just choosing between what you want now and what you want most.

Wake up and start the day.

Decide the night before how you will plan the way.

Organize the space you’re in.

So that creative thinking can move again.

Honor what you planned.

Stay focused and make a stand.

If you need help don’t hesitate to ask.

It is important to complete the task.

Are you having a debate?

Are you stuck in past mistakes?

Are you looking for a plan to work out?

Are you procrastinating and checked out?

Do you wake up every day excited to have another chance?

You have been gifted that in advance.

Remember your life deserves more than a glance.

Today you can make a choice listen to your inner voice.

Today you can make a decision to put down the things that don’t serve your vision.

You’re worth every moment.

Are you missing that component?

Have You?

“Every moment spent worrying about  how things were, is a moment wasted  
    from creating how things can be.”
                       Robin Sharma

Have you ever worried about
Someone
Somehow
Someday
Someway
Have you ever thought about how you’ll make something happen, turn it around, change it from being upside down?
Have you ever thought about how you can do something  more and open new doors?
Have you ever wondered what it feels like to live a dream and feel the possibilities to a new extreme?
Do you ever dare to take a leap and use courage in a moment when everything else seems out of reach?
Have you ever wondered about tomorrow because today is full of sorrow?
Have you ever lost someone you love and wanted to make a bargain from up above?
Have you ever wanted something so much and someone told you your out of touch?
Have you really ever dug so deep that you know your potential was reached?
When is it time to let go of worry and quit being in a hurry?
When is it time to get up and make a change, before you know it everything can be rearranged.
When is it enough to stop wishing for more and believe instead I can do more?
Have you ever said yes to something you want to do and figured out later how you would make it happen for you?
When is it your time to turn thinking into doing instead of sitting and not improving?
Let thinking and believing turn to doing and achieving!
Every experience good and not so good is to love ,appreciate, learn and know that the key isn’t to make it go but you can use it to let you grow!
Sunhine on good and not so good, without the exchange we wouldn’t know we could!
