Decide and you will see the teacher is passing through to help you see more than you ever imagined could be.

Kerri Elizabeth

What happens when you decide?

When you decide, something comes alive.

When you decide, energy is free to move.

When you decide, everything gets in tune.

Do you ever take a risk if you never decide?

Be courageous and let go of the old lines.

Find a new language and decide.

Decide you will come alive.

Stress is a place where bending is an interpretation of what you face.

Stress can be a recovery place.

Stress is where strength is sneaking up on you.

Instead of stress living within you, invite it to pass by you.

Instead of stress choosing the weight you lift, let it be the lift that you decide to choose.

Stress is a teacher educating you.

You are the student that decides, to study and graduate or continue to be held back through.

Thank you to the teacher that taught me to lift,

and to decide I was worth it.

Sunshine in the classroom of my interpretation of stress.

This is my graduation gift!

What If You Did This

Love will endure and love will cure and love is always pure.

Kerri Elizabeth

All in a day pave the way.

All in a day it’s up to you what you do.

What if every moment we forgive ourselves and choose to be great no matter what surrounds us?

What if we continued to love even when love looked different than our eye sees?

What if being love showed love and we all allowed love to guide our words, movements and pace in life?

What if everyday we spent time reminding ourselves that we are the change and with that the world will follow change like a domino effect.

What if we all trusted so much in ourselves our strength became a flight to new thoughts and ways never seen before.

What if we consciously and consistently kept moving even when the sign said stop, deciding to take a different route rather than actually stopping?

What if we saw impossible as guidance to another way instead of noway?????

What if life everyday was so full of our own love and smiles and joy that it radiated into others lives as well?

What if  there was no such thing as I should, I would, I need, I could, just that I did I learned and I loved?

What if EVERYDAY you lived life instead of waited for it?

Sunshine!

Receive the sunshine when it reaches for you the amazing energy is a gift that is free and made just for you!

Kerri Elizabeth

The sun is out, the air is warm, spring is rising up.

The trees are budding, the leaves are calling to the sun.

Bulbs are shaking in the ground ready to jump out and be found.

The dogs are happy prancing around and the spirit to play is all over town.

Saturday markets getting ready to roll.

Creativity is on the go.

The hustle the bustle of races ahead.

Memories of lakes and fishing nestled in my head.

The mountains are calling me to run my feet up their back.

Rivers are screaming adventure and backpacks.

The sun is shining on the Puget Sound.

Spring and summer I miss you so much.

Thank you for sharing some time with me today.

You build my spirit, you light up my soul.

The love you give me is insurmountable.

SUNSHINE EVERYDAY

Releasing a Tear……..

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

A heart in the sky opens wide showing what is possible is only limited by the distance we decide.

Kerri Elizabeth

Addiction is real and can steal what you feel.

The inner connection is lost.

The sound of what you thought you knew becomes bigger than any rule.

Where a tear falls down a new release and fight is found.

Where your determination is the truth, doubt tries to balance and sneak into you.

The inner weather forecast predicts, be prepared for changes like this.

The sun will shine and smiles you will have to find, like panning in a gold mine.

No one can tell you how fast you will travel through.

Trust becomes made inside of you.

Letting go of what traps your pain is now let go for so much more.

Experience to your scars leaves a memory so far.

“So far”, is where you have arrived and the road ahead is yours to tread.

Own the direction of healing and truth.

Building strength past, “so far”, is first accepting where you are.

When the clutches of pain restrain your gain, it’s the moment you’re in your own lane.

Drive inside the lines, staying focused and determined with precision and time.

The fog will lift ,the pain will submit ,to the authority that will never quit.

Does this speak to you or someone you love?

Be aware, they are in there.

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.

Start With a Dot

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

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.

 

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!

Awareness Is Awareness and explains Awareness

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

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!!!!
