I love you
A DOGS LOVE
It is in your paws I found true love!
~Kerri-Elizabeth~
Their hearts beat for you to come near
A love so sweet
Kisses don’t wait
Love never hesitates
With a Ruff voice
A paw in hand
An anxious stance
Thank you for your loyal love
Everyday, you teach me to stop and play
The importance of setting aside moments to connect everyday
Sunshine
In all I have experienced on love, or what I think love is, this is where I have found the truest most genuine love of all, right next to GODs love.
I believe He brought dogs here to teach us about love and appreciation, attentiveness and quality time is right up there with love and demand for naps. They never ask or feel guilty they just do it and feel better for it.
They are always up for kissing and never ask if you want one, they just give it and are happy when they get one back and even when they don’t.
If you’re not paying attention, they don’t complain, they just bump you and look at you with love and you melt into them.
Why don’t people melt this way?
They always meet you at the door and show excitement to see you, even if all you did was throw the garbage out. They are there to make you feel appreciated for every single move you make.
No wonder people are hard to please, we spend more time waiting and less time loving. They spend all their time loving!
You can’t even get the attention of a person now days unless you’re texting or messaging them, they will see that before they see you right next to them.
You’re just one of many to a person, but to them you are everything.
They never loose track or keep track of time, people freak out honk and run each other off the road, scream yell speed and flip you off if you’re holding them up for a second.
They just look at you and smile as if you’re honking at them with love. Nothing is taken personally and love is always assertive and courageously given , you will never be in lack.
Dogs are the WAY TO HAPPINESS!

STILLNESS MOVES
In the stillness you will hear!
~Kerri-Elizabeth~
It seems the stillness is where everything is found
Where movement comes alive
Where the waves crashing tell a story
Where the leaves dance and sing with glory
Where the birds soar with intension
Where pain and joy have no tension
Where love remains throughout
It seems in the stillness is where everything is found
Where feeling is in the beat of your heart
Where your mind sinks into a rational peace
It seems that in the stillness is where everything is found
When your lost, be still, you will hear the whisper
Be still it is where everything is found
SUNSHINE
In my stillness I can feel the intensity of all that moves around me. I can feel my heart beating and my chest rising. I can almost see with inner eyes the blood flowing through me. I can see the pain in another eyes and wonder is that the reflection of so much more to be healed within me?
Where you are calm you will hear, where you are still you will know, where you find peace, love will grow.
Your body is already speaking to you, it wants more or less of something, it may be in pain, or sickness or anger has driven a wedge between you and stillness. Sadness may be filled with joyful gestures to cover up the feeling we can’t seem to shake and loss may be settling in your bones with numbness you can’t seem to touch.
What if all of this is ok and what if all of this is the beautiful process we need to become our truest version of ourselves. What if who you are right now is exactly who you need to be ,to become who you want to be. What if every step from this space is a step forward into the acceptance, it is the process. It is the falling apart that requires us to heal.
LOVE, SUNSHINE
I searched for you and me
~Kerri-Elizabeth~
I searched for you and me
I looked high and low, in front and behind every tree
I glanced off the cliffs below
I searched long and hard, did you know
In the clouds and in the lakes
I searched rivers and mountains with no breaks
I called for you and no one replied
I cried for you inside
I drove miles and miles looking for a glimpse to pull aside
I longed for you and knew you longed for me
To find you was beyond my reach
I was looking for you
Missing every queue
I looked for the depth of what I should be
Who someone else wanted to see
I lost sight of my own dreams
I thought I was lost where I once was found
Then one day courage stood its ground
Vulnerability spoke with a fierce sound
Wherever you go, there you will be
I’m you and me
~Kerri Elizabeth
When we experience life, life is also experiencing us, I believe. When we go farther and faster and search for ourselves instead of the experiences that creates our selves ,we miss the queues that it is ourselves we are escaping.
When we run from ourselves, we run from our faith, our beliefs, our dreams and our core foundation. When we deny our own existence is not enough because of someone else’s opinion or judgement, then we deny our ability to grow, to serve, to lead, to inspire, to be driven, to reach, to grasp courage with all your might and LIVE beyond limitations set by ourselves or others.
We become stuck within another or others lives and deny our own growth waiting for another growth. The best gift you can give yourself and another is the freedom to be loved at the exact place you are so they have room to move forward. This is courageous!
LIVE WITH COURAGE!
I SEE YOU
It is in our hearts we truly see!
~Kerri Elizabeth~
In the heart of a man there will be honor
Loyalty
Love
Communication
Playfulness
Acceptance
Authenticity
Trust
and
Forgiveness and a genuine openness to grow WITH you
We will mess up, all of us
Life is a abstract painting of chaos swirled with order
We will come to spaces and places we meet our own self worth
Our own defaults
Our own self reflections we will face
One is not above or below the other
Behind or in front of
The walk is side by side
Gesture and posture can lift or crush a spirit
When a man honors a woman his spirit has posture that reflects his own inner love
You will know a man from his fruit
The fruit of the Spirit , love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
Reflect unto such a man gratitude with the fruits of your own spirit.
Sunshine
It is always a good reminder to reach into the fruits of the spirit. We all fail this one, we react without a thought, we defend without reason, we deny another’s feeling because they don’t fit our own.
It is when we choose to grow together, when defense is not a gesture of decision but a kind response of understanding.
In all relationships, your children, friends, spouse or even a boss, it is within the fruits of the spirit we reflect love.
