Inspired

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

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.

Miles of Moments

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

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

Kerri Elizabeth

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!

The Dance of Life

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

Dance because you can!

Kerri Elizabeth

Turns out in life there are new steps being created every day.

You can do the waltz you can do the shuffle and you can move fast with the hustle.

When a song comes on that was meant for you, dance to it, you’ll be able to feel it’s for you.

Don’t shut down the sound, don’t run away, dance with it every day.

If the song is right you’ll be able to hear it, the sound is inside you’ll know it and feel it.

Don’t hurry it through, don’t miss the feeling it brings you and don’t lose the beat that’s made just for you.

Your feet will move, your emotions will be pulled, your heart will take hold and you will need to be bold.

Dance to the song, close your eyes, do your feet move with ease and or is it a compromise?

Are you dancing alone or with someone at home?

There is a dance in everything we do, a conversation has it too.

Watch the steps in your life, put them together, are they making a dance and challenging you to be better?

Be a part of the dance whatever song you choose, turn up the volume and determine the moves.

It takes time to create a dance, it takes time to create the moves but when you put it together it should flow and continue to improve.

Dance with your thoughts and dance with your heart, create a song inside that both dance together and not apart.

There is a dance floor in life and the music changes with the lights if you can’t feel the beat when the lights are low then the dance floor is simply a place you’ll never grow.

Keep dancing and growing and finding your beat, the music is playing feel it under your feet.

The lights are on you, what will you do when the song starts to play and everything inside you start to sway?

Sunshine on your dance, move to the beat, find the rhythm within you, it’s like a heartbeat.

Application

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

Be Brave with your wisdom or it simply is just a decision.

Kerri Elizabeth

In the face of a journey in life, you must know when to open our eyes.

Often we learn the lesson and then we get the opportunity to test our strength and make an impression.

When you train for life it is like training for an event, you must be ready to re-invent.

One day you can go the distance and the next you beat your time, then you must evaluate and be ready for a new climb.

You will hit a wall and you’ll have to climb, often struggling without a clear and concise sign.

You will have to risk, push and learn, you won’t grow if keep going back to the same turn.

It is when your up against what you think is your new limit where you have the opportunity to show you can win it.

Apply the lessons you worked so hard to overcome, don’t forget the journey, you weren’t meant to come un-done.

Don’t forget the struggle, what was important and what really mattered, it was the pain you endured, the feelings you felt, the lessons you learned and the determination from what was dealt.

Don’t stop believing, reaching and giving,  remember where you came from and what you’re receiving.

Listen to your heartbeat and the pattern of your breathing, close your eyes and feel the distance close in and not leaving.

When your eyes are closed what do you see?

What do you feel and what does your heart reveal?

Can you risk knowing that you empowered your own life, when you are now set up to take your own advice?

Will you climb to the top to see over or will you stop and go back to what you just got over?

Will you trust that the other side will bring more altitude and challenge your attitude and allow more gratitude?

Stand in this space and breathe in perspective.

Reflect on your journey, your purpose and place.

Be true to the lessons you took the time to embrace.

Sunshine in believing that there is a gift of giving and receiving in this moment of rest and perceiving.

Determine the Matter

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

Determination is a state of well being a place you have direction and purpose, light and hope, new opportunity and new strength to build on. It’s a place you never lose at.

Kerri Elizabeth

Determined no matter what.

No matter what I will make this happen.

No matter how many tears it takes, I’ll let them flow, and keep going.

No matter how many face plants I do, I’ll wash my face and get back up.

No matter what gets in the way, I will be strong enough to move through it, past it or over it.

No matter how much it hurts, I will feel it, learn from it, and then accept that it no longer has power over me, in me or around me.

No matter how confused I tell myself I feel, I always know the answer.

No matter how tired I am, I can always do more.

No matter how many times I fall, standing up over and over gives me a tighter a@@ and better shoulders, so I can accept that.

No matter how frustrated I feel, breathing always makes it better.

No matter what the circumstance is there is always a solution.

No matter how fearful it is I will remember fear is a feeling, not a circumstance, evaluate and regroup.

No matter how hard life feels in a moment, you can count on that moment passing.

No matter what you do, you only get 24 hours in a day , 365 days in a year and most importantly you only get one chance to make that day the best you can, live them wisely and with all you are.

Remember to smile, to love, to share, to breathe, to hear, to see, to touch, to experience and learn all you possibly can.

Live without limits and create a legacy of greatness that will last forever.

SUNSHINE ON YOU AND AROUND YOU!

Goals

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it but too low and we reach it!

Michelangelo

How important is it?

Reaching a goal is not supposed to be easy.

It should shake up your mental, physical and spiritual strength and push you to see more than you did before you finished it.

A new summit to climb, a new view to photograph, a new feeling you could never have felt without reaching the goal.

A goal is supposed to push you to a new place.

A new starting line for a new goal.

A goal can be a stepping stone or it can be a record meant to be broken.

It can be a milestone in life and a milestone for others to learn from as well.

How important for you is it to reach a goal, to push past the pain and agony of the feeling of being done when in fact you have a little more to go, and often a lot?

Time goes by no matter what our decision is to finish or to let it go.

Will you be thinking about your goal and implementing possibility and action?

Evaluate what you are letting go of, dig deep into what you will gain and what will fall away.

Are you struggling with doubt?

Are you struggling with making a plan?

Are you evaluating a plan and never implementing it?

Do you have too many plans that get in the way and give you a reason to never succeed where your dreams are calling you?

Are you building someone else’s dreams or stepping into your own?

Daily life is a goal, reach for the best in your day, create the best energy, and give the most when you feel like giving the least.

Reach

Push

Pull

Plan

Commit

Create

Have a purpose.

Give more than you believe you can.

Partner up with winners, with believers, with warriors, with achievers and with purposeful people that will cheer with you and for you.

Sunshine on your goals.

Do you need help finding a goal, reaching a new limit in your life?

Passion

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

Passion is the oxygen of the soul.

Bill Butler

The heart knows the pain the love and the way.

To feel, life is to feel the pounding of the heart in every way.

Experience the sheer joy of oxygen flowing through you, reminding you you’re alive.

To live is to risk being more than you think your mind knows.

Open the pages of the mind and let the heart read the writing.

What does your heart say that your mind won’t allow?

Do you have goals and dreams that get held back from the thinking that interferes with the heart’s desires?

Run and let your cadence guide your heart.

Ride and let your heart gain strength.

Swim and let your heart rest in the journey of what is to come.

Find a passion that you can see the shimmering of life’s beautiful glances.

Be wild and fierce in your desires, live with untamed greatness inside.

Push through the last moments when your mind says no but your heart says yes.

Listen to the conflict inside and guide the conversation to success.

Live with tenacity to make what you desire happen, never give up or give in to the thought you are not enough, but only to the thought you are more than enough and all you desire is in your reach.

DON’T STOP REACHING!

DON’T STOP PUSHING!

DON’T STOP WHERE YOU ARE THERE IS MORE!

Sunshine on tenacity and fierce living.

Everyone is someone’s child

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

If we could all see the world through the eyes of a child, we would see the magic in everything!

He walks with little steps, I hear the cars crash into each other.

He walks across the room and bangs the box of blocks against his legs.

His little voice is always talking and telling you what he’s doing.

He lights up my day with his presence.

He’s changed my life in so many ways.

Then his brother came along and added to the days.

Nothing can change this kind of love.

My grandson’s came in my life and I’ll never be the same.

They are love and light and sunshine in my soul.

Their smile and giggle console.

Take a moment in your day to look at a child and say, YOU’RE MY HERO!

Take a moment every day and let a child know there smile matters!

A child comes in all different ages, stages and places, you are someone else’s child, don’t forget YOU!

Have you ever really looked into the eyes of a child when you say,” you are amazing?”

Have you really taken in the smile on a child’s face when you say,” you are incredible and your smile makes my day?”

Don’t forget the little things today; whether you are a grown child or have a young child or grandchild embrace the laughter, the love, the joy and the smiles.

Don’t forget everyone is someone’s child.

Make a difference in someone’s life today!

Sunshine in every word, sunshine in every smile, sunshine in your thoughts, sunshine in the moments we often let slip by, sunshine on every moment, and sunshine on every hope and every dream and sunshine in the eyes of every child,  sunshine on you because you matter to me.

Elephant’s

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

 I meant what I said and I said what I meant, an elephant’s  faithful one-hundred percent.

Dr. Suess

Do you ever see an elephant in the room?

Do you feel his presence and let the anxiety bloom?

Do you feed him assumption until he continues to grow?

Sooner or later it has to go.

Take him on with kindness and tenacity.

Don’t let him grow past your capacity.

Be loving and kind and teach it where to go.

Lead it, believe it, and show it where you want to go.

Give it room to breathe, let it feast off a field of greatness.

Let it walk into completeness.

Give it the attention it deserves.

Let the presence of it be observed.

The elephant will continue to grow.

Let it go where it can get the attention and freedom to breathe and know.

Knowing where it can stand is a powerful lesson you have the power to understand.

An elephant starts as a baby just like you.

Teach it and love it and lead it.

You have all it takes to achieve it.

Let the Sunshine on the elephant, reveal its strength and vulnerability.

Both need attention and light to grow.

Sunshine for you on something you know.

Little reminders to light the way.

Have an absolutely beautiful day!
