A mother’s love is forever.

A mother is an indescribable gift.

Being a mother is where life turns into joy, love, happiness, excitement and so many other amazing feelings I believe there is no language for, it’s felt through the heart.

Being a mother has been the most amazing journey of my life.

I dreamed as a little girl to be a mom one day, it was my number one dream and a dream it was.

I wanted 4 children and that is exactly what I have, they are all a part of me everywhere they go and they show me every day what wonderful hearts and souls they unfold.

I can see there smiles no matter how far away I am.

I can see there animated characters living life as if life was freedom and I found out it is.

Oh to be a child, they have taught me so much.

They taught me to stop and see things no one else could see.

They taught me to let go when everyone else was taking hold.

They taught me to be so strong, when times were tough there was no way I would be anything but POWERFUL and PROTECTIVE of all of us.

They loved me when I made mistakes, they followed me to every escape.

It seemed I never ate a meal without tiny hands trying to steal.

They laughed until they cried all the time, they danced and sang along to every song.

These kids showed me how to be still, how to listen and how to chill.

They taught me to love and to let love in, they showed me no matter what our love together ALWAYS WINS.

We traveled to the biggest puddles, the rivers, the lakes and got into trouble without any mistakes.

We were always spontaneous, on the go, we never stopped living and no one ever said, “ I’m bored!”

I ended up in classes watching every move, I was protective and fierce and they learned to MOVE.

They knew when they were in trouble and they knew what to do and it when it came to rebellion, they shared that with me too.

I love my children more than words will ever describe, I love every moment even the ones I thought I would never survive.

They are the blessing I know GOD gave me to save me from my own selfish behaving.

I learned how to be the best I can through every second of this life they blessed me in.

Thank you to all my children and to my mother that loved me through every day of my life no matter what I dealt her in love and strife.

Thank you for all I am, you 4 children are my heart forever and again.

To my mom thank you for giving me the life I have in me, you taught me so much and I know it and can see it within you and me.

To my grandmother that taught me to shine, she never let go of loving me to the end of her time.

Also to Becky Bergstrom a woman that taught me so much about how to be a mother and how to love and laugh when life seemed chaotic and tough.  I miss your wise words and your smile and heart, you gave me so much to learn and grow and I think about you always along my journey’s road.

Collect Moment Not Things

How often do you challenge yourself?

Challenge yourself to stand the duration of a sunrise and sunset.

Walk a mile farther.

Take the stairs instead of the elevator.

Run instead of a walk.

Ride a bike instead of a drive.

Eat raw foods instead of cooked foods.

Create a rainbow of colors in your food that are alive and bring you joy.

Clean out a room and leave only what you enjoy.

Be spontaneous now and then, go where you have never been.

Have you ever just stopped and listened to a river full of frogs, at midnight in a park?

Have you ever stood still by a pond looking and talking to two swans?

The deepest craziest most amazing energy is reached when you have the tenacity and tenacious spontaneous ability to say yes before you imagine why you would say no.

Say yes and then figure it out, say yes and figure out how.

 Never say no to an opportunity that will fulfill your deepest desires and dreams if you don’t know how take the time to learn now.

What story keeps you stuck, are you living and breathing with limitless belief?

Whatever you dream of for your life is clearly written and ready to thrive.

Have you set your own heart aside for the life of someone else that deserves to experience and feel what you may be covering for them inside?

Everyone has their perfect place, where you’re at is where you need to be, to get to the next place, you’ll see.

Feel what’s real!

Sunshine all the time!

We make a LIVING by what we get, but we make a LIFE by what we give.

Winston Churchill

When you close your eyes, what do you see?

Do you see green grass, flowers, trees, the desert, the sea?

What comes to your mind when you close your eyes and you take a moment of time?

Do you ever just take a moment to reflect upon the beauty that you have put inside?

When you close your eyes what do you see inside?

Can you sit for a moment with just your thoughts, where do they go and how do they grow?

Every day there is something to say for taking a moment to reflect on a positive way.

Who is influencing the pull inside, is it simply a voice or connection or both?

Take a moment to think about the people you hang around with most.

Are they investing in what’s best for you, or pulling you in a direction that is only what they know to be true?

Evaluate the moments you share, you become the sum of the people you share the time you choose most to bare.

Are you growing and learning, sharing and caring, playing and believing, giving and receiving?

Are you moving and being, are you allowing and teaching?

Can you put aside what you do all the time, to allow someone else to learn along the line?

We are put here to share our gifts, our love, our words, our prayers, our time, our thoughts, our hands, our hearts, make sure their well, they are yours to tell.

Be careful what you put inside, it is exactly what we share and put into others time.

Be aware of what you do, it impacts other lives too.

Notice your energy that you’re giving out, is it loving and will it help another throughout.

Take a moment every day to make sure and say, today all day I will give and say only what is positive for others along the way.

Shine on others your best today and remember what you take in is what you give back from what you allowed in.

SUNSHINE!

The cost of not following your heart is spending the rest of your life wishing you had.

Soul inspired.

Heart required.

Captured by a feeling.

Separated by distance.

Hope carried me to a place.

Free will now determines this new space.

No matter what the outcome is did you follow your heart there?

Pulled in a direction I had to go.

An internal pull and connection I wanted to know.

Sunsets along the way.

Sunrises to start the day.

The mountains seemed as if they could talk, guiding me along the way.

Roads curving, mountains grabbing the roads as if they pushed and pulled them in the path they laid.

The miles of open land that most never see was just waiting to be appreciated by more than just me.

The moon on Montana was as if it was set there to stay, it felt as if I could touch it and climb on it to play.

The rivers seemed to bend and break for miles on end, leaving thoughts of how the snow so sweetly shared to extend.

My soul was touched by the beautiful space.

What would I learn from this new place?

I learned that I can take a chance and let go of fear.

I learned that God is always near.

I learned that no matter what you feel, you’re responsible for all that you decide to reveal.

I learned that no matter what you see, you’re responsible for how you choose to be.

I learned that no matter where you are in your life, experience and change is good advice.

I learned that you will meet people along your journey, they will impact you and move you, give you hope and approve of you.

I learned that no matter what is approved, the deepest emotion is how far you were moved.

The depth of the journey is different for us all; the most important part is where did it leave you so far?

What will you learn, did you grow, how will it impact your life as you go?

Will it guide you to a new starting place or will it simply be a journey to a better place?

How will you perceive the path given?

Live out loud for your best, don’t ever let anyone tell you less.

Believe in more, reach without limits, love without expectations and live with all your might and give with all that’s right.

Be still when you need to be still, heal when you need to heal, listen to the voice inside and be thankful to your guiding light.

Shining only the best in your heart, change lives as you go and live intertwined within the glow.

Moments can last forever and moments can stretch for miles, be present in each moment and each moment will be present with you.

A journey of the heart.

Miles of moments.

Thoughts creating movement.

Movements creating inspiration.

Inspiration creating a fierce passion for living your best life.

Living creates moments of knowing.

Knowing gives clarity.

Clarity gives calmness.

I found calmness in trusting my spirit.

I found encouragement in inspiration.

I found movement in the calling of my heart.

I found courage when I laid down fear.

I found freedom when I looked at life as my best friend.

I found out I was love when I grabbed a hold of what was above.

I found peace learning how to breathe.

I found sunshine is everywhere you go.

I found out not everyone knows.

I found that in every person there is a story.

I found that in every story there is a person.

I found out that no matter where I go, there I am so I better let go.

Take the time to breathe.

Take the time to believe.

Take the time to feel calmness.

Take time to be encouraged.

Take the time to let go.

Take the time to know.

Take the time to let your heart grow.

Take time for your mind.

Take time for your spirit.

Take the time to give greatness.

Take the time to receive greatness.

Take the time to reach the depth of your calling.

Sunshine comes from the inside out, shine it and let it out!
