Wake Up to Dance

Your life is your sunrise and your sunset, dance in it, cry in it, love in it, believe in it, it is the promise given to you, what you receive from it will be a legacy you will leave too!

Kerri Elizabeth

Wake up everyday to a smile, a laugh, a decision to have a blast.

Wake up to a day that you decided to join in all the way.

Wake up to the thankfulness of a glow and to smile through every ebb and flow.

Life is a blessing of twists and turns and our flexibility is pushed and returned.

Every bump, big or small invites creativity to how you decide to stand or fall.

In the depth of a moving heart, passion lives in every part.

Dance and sing in the rain.

Smile and laugh because you can.

Turn the music up loud.

Jump in every puddle around.

Get dirty in a tie and a dress.

Climb a tree instead of work or rest.

Be available to see, what life is offering you a choice to be.

Let a tear stray, there will be more along the way.

Every tear goes somewhere and like the sunshine behind a cloud, light will be found.

When nothing becomes a thought or place, everything is an option to take its place.

Roll your windows down and let your hair blow all around.

Feel the chill in the air and let it touch your skin everywhere.

Lay naked in the snow after a hot bath created from melted snow.

Feel the heat under the sun and the smell of the trees in a calm breeze.

Bury your feet in the sand and move your toes if you can.

Find meaning in your life in every single step, there is something in every sunrise and sunset.

Sun Shining for you in every hue.

H20 and Snow

When the seasons change and you feel rearranged , no wall will hold you back from it all, don’t skip the struggle, build your strength to get over the wall and new seasons will shine on it all.

Kerri Elizabeth

 

When the snow walls start to grow all that is intact becomes compact.

The snow glistens in the light.

Every flake falling from the sky seems to have a purpose to fly.

Trees hold their hands out to measure the snow’s weight often taking on too much and they break.

The wind will blow and  some of the snow leaves the branches to bounce back up to grow.

Critters make their way and snow walls are built on the path they pave.

It’s amazing to me how snowflakes are made and create walls after they fall.

You can see the snow hanging on in places, falling and creating beautiful spaces.

Roofs are covered with a blanket of white and along all the edges are pure white.

Icicles seem to be pulled to the ground from an invite to the last drop coming down.

With every drop of H2o created from the melting snow you get a glimpse of nature’s show sharing with you more to know.

As the air’s temperature changes ,nature’s way arranges the H2o and the reflection of you in the glow.

The trees

the snow

the sky

the walls

the icicles

the mountains so high

the lakes

the deer

the fire crackling near

take in the wonder that surrounds me so clear.

There is nothing so profound than the beauty of nature and the lessons found.

Sunshine on the snow  always reveals diamonds everywhere you go.

 

You

101
When what is in front of you seems bigger than you, go inside, what is inside is bigger than anything you face outside.
Kerri Elizabeth

What’s inside of you is bigger than what is in front of you.

A lifeline of encouragement.

A word of impeccable love.

A heart of pure gold.

A lover of life.

A motivator and inspiration of the soul.

A unconditional love that never ends.

A consistent reminder of the beauty of life.

A breathe of empathy.

A dream that becomes your reality.

A tough reminder at times.

A smile that can light up the world.

A breathe of fresh air.

A silent moment.

A peaceful thought.

Feel it, experience it, give it, receive it and be it.

There is Sunshine inside.

 

When Color Fades and Your Heart Reigns

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

When black and white and color start to fade….your heart sees where your eyes perception changes shades.

Kerri Elizabeth

Is it blue or is it purple?

Is it nice or is it great?

Is it sad or is it disappointing?

Are you sick or do you have symptoms of being sick?

Are you tall or are you bigger than me?

Are you short or are you smaller than me?

Am I overweight or am I heavy?

Are you healing or are you broken?

Is your cup half full or is it half empty?

Do you see the sun first or the few clouds around it?

Do you see with both eyes or with your heart?

Do you hear noise or feel a vibration?

Is it grey or is a lighter shade of black?

Is it Yellow or a lighter shade of orange?

Do you see red or do you see Mauve?

Does it matter what color you see it?

Does it matter if you see it the same as me?

Does it matter if I see it the same as you?

What matters is that you are being true to YOU!

Be love in how you see.

Be love in what you do.

Be love in the way you move.

Be love in your truth.

When you love all of YOU, love will be all you do!

Grandbabies Make the World Go Round

A grandchild changes everything, the gift of a love rewarded from above from raising their parents and not coming undone.
Kerri Elizabeth

The gift of a grandchild.
The smiles that change a heartbeat.
The giggles that move your world.
The belly laughs that make you cry.
The noises from toys that sound all day, the ones I’d throw away if my kids played.
Ice cream for lunch instead of a meal.
Staying up late building forts because mom and dad said,” go to bed”.
A grandchild recieves everything your own children worked hard for and all they have to do is look at you.
A grandchild can mend a heart, change a frown and in a second your found.
Running toward you with a smile, they can melt you for miles.
My grandchildren rise above all that is love , there is a place called bliss that only exhists when my grandchild says ,”Nina”.( that’s my grandmother name, replaced for “you’ll never be the same “.)
Sunshine on my grandchildren, if you don’t have one, adopt one, they change everything, there’s never a cloud to be found, when grandchildren are around.

A Broken Wing Shows You More of Everything!

A broken wing is not everything, it shows you more than anything!

Kerri Elizabeth

A broken wing is not everything.

Taking flight in front of me a miracle in life so majestic and free.

Wings  spread open across to the sky as they leap without fear sending sounds that will pierce the deepest place you hear.

Without a plan or a thought, instinct takes over and in flight they take off.

The misty air, the clouds out there, it’s colder and colder every day and the dance of life is where they stay.

A miracle in her wings, gliding through the water with one wing, the other broken wing never stopped her from anything.

She carried her wing gracefully wrapped up on her back; she never missed a beat in her dance she would complete.

In the dance of life we can decide even with a broken wing, that dreams are made for everyone and miracles happen, even when we feel broken and undone.

Taking flight is not just in the wings that might, it is in the choice to choose life.

There will be inevitable ups and downs and there will be upside down smiles and right side up frowns, be the miracle that takes flight, leaving behind the fear that might.

Freedom is in the soaring of your soul, even with a broken wing that is not everything.

Sunshine on your flight!

To Be Calm and Still

To be calm inside is to feel the stillness even when the winds blow or the sun glows.

Kerri-Elizabeth

In the calmness of my heart the river of love flows.

In the calmness of my mind the sunshine glows.

In the stillness of my body, I feel the whisper of the wind.

In the gap between now and then I feel the moment I’m in again.

In the flow of the day I can say, no one will ruin what I feel today.

In the worry of yesterday, I lose my today.

In the plans of tomorrow I can say, those things may change on the way.

I used to spend my day figuring out everyone else’s way.

Then someone said to me, “how many hours do spend a day, helping others find their way?”

I love to help others along the way, especially my children; they have been my reason for each day.

Now I can teach them, that we can only give what we have, making sure I gain what I want to give is first my responsibility while I live.

Complaining about what you don’t have is only time spent away from decisions you must have.

Waiting for someone else to lead your way is letting go of yourself and the only way that ultimately gives you freedom in your day.

Make a stance for your own life and expect there will others that will stomp there feet to the beat of their own defeat.

Your energy goes where your thoughts go, what you think of most grows the most.

Are your thoughts where you want growth or are they where you want change the most?

Sunshine on your day!

Awareness Is Awareness and explains Awareness

Awareness and “I” are one chord in the orchestra that never misses a beat and holds strong through defeat, It will meet you where you are and never go far, it is there to see and will always “Be”, turn up your sound and you will hear, the song inside is “I am” not “you and me”.

Kerri Elizabeth

As my soul awakens and my body and mind join in song with my soul, I hear every note of my own orchestras beat.

When there are no others I am aware of my space, when there is no sound I can hear my heart race.

Awareness is when others are there and you still are just as aware.

When the windows shutter from the winter wind and the raindrops fall over and over again, I am aware to spare a moment is to leave awareness unfolded.

When I am aware of my inner flow, beauty has an outer glow.

To release “me” to “I” gives insight inside for “me” to go away and “I” to reside.

When awareness is, “I” and not, “you” and “me”, then the darkness of the day and restless nights , pass through your light, without a shadow left insight.

Think about this moment now, are you aware of “I” or aware of the darkness that “me” is addicted to inside?

What are you aware of now?

When awareness is there to bare, there is no place for darkness there.

When darkness is your “I” as awareness when your world is the stipulations of the storms in life, then your life becomes a storm of stipulations and strife, not an awareness of “I” but ownership of something that should be free to pass by.

Controlling a storm, holding the trees still, catching every leaf, barreling every rain drop, damming every river and lake so not to flood or make a mistake, is an addiction to tuning out the notes of your own voice and owning someone else’s choice.

When the storms can pass and leaves can fall, when the rivers flow and lakes become full, when the ocean roars and the sea births more, when “I” and awareness are one chord, the orchestra inside is born.

When witnessing “I” and not “me”, when awareness is awareness with a capital “I”.

When every feeling can pass through you as it is not, “I”, it is life’s song and is not meant to be owned but appreciated as a lesson passing by.

 Like the storms of creation, love them and learn from them and you can ask why, the answer will still never be, “I”, it is meant to be an addition to life, learn and listen to the song of life without drowning out your  “I”.

 I am an orchestra of my own awareness.

Sunshining my awareness!

Is it You or In You?

Smile, share, talk, walk, run, swim, sit, stand, go, stay, be, do, live, love, laugh, joy, insecurity, hatred, acceptance, fun, filled,limited or stuck, judged or judging, are you these things or are these things in you, one way can evolve and grow and the other will stay.

Kerri Elizabeth

Into the depth of our growth, there must be a tearing of fibers, a separation that yearns to draw contact back to a new and stronger connection.

As the muscle stretches to its capacity it is able to push just slightly past that in a calling to be stronger and faster.

Pushing past the comfort or the idea that this is all we can do is simply a personal limitation built from a support system that has been shared with us from others such as societies, systems, religions and labels.

We have been given permission to stop where we are at, to go back, to go forward, to stay in place, to think, to reflect, to gain, to lose, to love, to live, to laugh to give.

When the mind allows the connection to our thoughts to stretch beyond our given limitation we have chosen to own, the tearing of fibers is felt.

Our minds are stretched; our heart feels the fibers ripping to capacity, anticipating the unknown and delivering permission to hold up stop signs wherever we decide to put them, at a bend in the road, a long stretch or a standstill with more permission to stay longer there.

Our soul will often open and close to the made up fear of what may or may not be there, often challenging the partnership of heart, mind and spirit in a hurricane of internal chaos, holding us hostage from more.

The thought of more turns into an indecisive exchange of confusion between our thoughts creating the idea of good or bad, also leaving us idle to growth.

Change occurs in the letting go of another’s idea and allowing your own tearing of fibers to be your growth, to listen is not to own, to own is not to live, to live is not to be limited.

Capacity beyond our thoughts is infinitely available, there is no limit, no tearing of fibers is felt by just the notion we must feel pain to grow, what if growth and pain were one, what description would you choose?

Sunshine on your growth every day, where is your root system attached to and are you growing it or have you delegated it to employees of your heart mind and spirit at the cost you’re in debt scrambling to pay others?

Sunshines!!!!

Love IS and Always IS

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

2015-06-10 18.50.54-1

Love IS, without asking or denying, love is in the creation of life that never waivers on judgement or prejudices, it exists as it is, beyond your expectation.

Kerri Elizabeth

Love is more.

Love is the sun shining brightly and revealing color.

Love is the whisper of a tree in the wind, bending and bowing to the call of nature.

Love is the ripples on a lake, sending an electric charge of wonder without any expectation of your delight.

Love is the pine cone that drops to the ground to blanket the earth without cost to add warmth and offer new growth.

Love is in the rain that drops its presence in the mood and intensity it chooses without needing permission or discipline.

Love is in the rivers that flow through the lands showing purpose without a thought.

Love is in the stars and moon that need no arranging or fixing and offering an arrangement full of magical wonder and  imagination.

Love is the clouds that bring moisture and covering to the earth, never hearing from the sun,” can you go away or stop being what you were made to be”.

Love is in the depth of the ocean that holds an abundance of energy and life and surrounds it with landscape much like the arms of a  father or mother’s protection, giving it boundaries and support without defining it as separate or the same, large or small, fierce or passive.

Love is in the air that generously continues without ever needing approval, it just is.

Love is in the sea breeze that partners with exhilaration and offers us an opportunity to feel it or deny it and is never controlled by our presence, it just is.

Love is in the storms that create change and rearrange our surroundings, often perceived as destroying and challenging our perceptions of loss, life, material and emotional attachments, our strengths and our weaknesses without fear of rejection.

Love is in the mountains so brilliantly placed for purpose and intent, offering us the opportunity to climb, explore, reflect, grow, learn, rest, recover, feel excursion, build strength and create new thoughts, inviting us with its presence, never forcing or expecting you to see it.

Love is in the creation of life not in the judgement or expectations, success or failures, feelings or thoughts, ideas or perceptions, objections or compliments.

 Love is before, during and after anything is attached or detached, love is more than, love is and everything else is our own idea, changing, wavering, doubting, withholding, giving, receiving, rejecting, objecting, defence and judgement labelled good or bad or otherwise.

Love is always with no beginning or end, it IS.

Contemplate the depth of Sunshine that never stops shining just because you choose to.
