Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

Thank you for every moment I have the opportunity to live, to feel, to grow and to know without a doubt, love is what    it’s all about.
                          Kerri Elizabeth

The rhythm of the heart.
The beat is where it starts.
Get up and move to the sound of gratitude.
Thank your lucky stars for the spirit you are.
Thank you in the small things.
Thank you in the big things.
Thank you in all things
Creation is a beautiful thing.
Smiles go far.
Mean it when you give or recieve a hand shake or a hug.
Run and have fun, frolick in the sun.
Do you remember a time where you had no worry in site?
Take a moment to rest on the fact, that option allows peace and rest.
Thank you for the way my eyelids give me shade.
Thank you for the way my lips move and help me enunciate words to my inner hearts expression of verbs.
Thank you for the wrinkles that show a map of my smiles through the adventures and miles.
Thank you for the weight I pick up now and then,
to remind me I can let go again.
Thank you for all the times I looked at myself and cried, for reasons now I see are part of growing into the best part of me inside.
Thank you for the messengers that come into my life, to open up old wounds and remind me not to hide.
Thank you for the push to reach heights I’d never find.
Thank you for the lungs that keep me on this earth, they have been generous and given me endurance since the blessing of my birth.
Take a moment everyday to be thankful for everything you once thought was in your way, be in gratitude for the gift to build strength to let it go away.
Sunshine in depth!

Your Life is Your Sky

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

Eagle

The world is your sky and you were made to fly, be precise and focus on the energy you exert to manifest exactly what you desire on this earth.

Kerri Elizabeth

The eagle again, wings wide open flying in.

A drive and then again the eagle flies in front of me wide open soaring past like a whisper in the wind.

Coming around the corner for a swoop down and then, seemingly with a glance he tells me more again.

The energy of his face surrounds my heart with a magical embrace.

What is happening is in front of me?

What is the eagle showing me?

Sometimes two at a time coming down right in line.

The confidence, the precise flight, the look in the eagle’s eyes.

What are they trying to say, everytime I leave home there is more in the day.

Near the hi-way or the lake, on a twisted road without a mistake.

Sitting in the living room, I can see so clear their perch.

They are aware and conserving energy for the greater good on earth.

His focus is precise, he maximizes on acceleration and flight.

Soaring through the sky, swooping down right past the height of my eyes, there is a sign.

Open your wings and continue to fly, the world is your sky.

Sending honor and respect always victorious and free.

Glide with focus, time and accuracy.

Take doubt out of the moment and open up your wings.

Life is your sky and you were made to fly.

Sunshine!

Wake Up to Dance

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

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.

A Whole Love

Tip your head and your heart to make sure love fills every part!

Kerri Elizabeth

Where lessons show up, strength will interrupt.

Where goals are set, the next step has to be met.

Where there is doubt, there is no trust to amount.

Where there is selfishness, understanding lacks graciousness.

Where there is accusations made, a moment turns into a grenade.

Where there is distraction, comes retraction.

Where there is a dysfunctional control, resistance and defense oppose it all.

Where unkind words become actions on every turn, love is lost and not returned.

Where dishonor is served, awareness is deserved.

Where love exists, time is not a miss.

Where a heart is protected, and arms are there to hold, you will together grow old.

Where your soul is set to fly, love will be bold but never take hold.

Where love is complete you are one before two meet.

Where two become one, someone came undone.

Two wholes are unbreakable strength.

When you lift a whole and share the roll , double bonded is forever a positive control.

Letting go of what doesn’t encourage you to be whole is the key to letting go of what doesn’t serve your goals.

Be in love with all you do and forgive the moments your learning too.

Lessons in Sunshine!

Start With a Dot

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

20151231_152551

When the sentence runs-on and no paragraph is in place, when a canvas is painted  and never seen , when a story is not read and is simply left to end where is the place to start again? Add a dot of silence to begin again, you are the story and decide when.

Kerri Elizabeth

Silence is!

This space is a place no one can erase.

Safety is in there, nothing can compare.

It is a space where nothing and everything exists.

It is a place and a space that only you can hear.

Wait, do you hear in there or wonder where?

It is a solitude and your own embrace.

Where touch is missed, solitude takes shape.

Where time is lost, presence is found.

Where pain is felt, healing takes its place.

Where thinking is over stimulated by what is around, the mind can rest sound.

Where breathing is not honored, every breathe will now be life.

Where your heart feels like its weight is more than you can take, it will now float like bubbles in the wind across a calm surface again.

Where your soul seems without a direction, direction becomes you with every move.

Where we forget we are the perception and story, we become the canvas to paint our glory.

Silence is a blank slate where nothing needs to be erased, where the story of your life has a place to start.

Put a dot of silence in there now and then so the run-ons will end.

Sunshine inside and out, finding a dot in silence where a new paragraph starts again.

 

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.

 

Intuitively Living To Feel Life

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

Feel the power of your life, live and breathe and believe!
Kerri Elizabeth

Feel your way through the day.
Every step and every breath send surges through the inner depth.
If you close your eyes in your day and choose a path to go a new way, intuition comes alive and a new way thrives.
Reach gracefully out with a slow and steady hand to feel the rays of the sun’s command.
Blink delicately in time with the vibrational beat of your hearts rhyme.
The gentleness of a thought out breath changes the movement of the chest.
When you feel the waves of intuition roll in ,the depth of freedom is believed again.
Freedom is in the depth and the width of our beliefs, suttely the intuition of our heartbeats.
Feel and breathe as you believe.
Sunshine on intuition, feeling life with nothing missing.

Grandbabies Make the World Go Round

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

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!

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

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

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

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!
