Longing For More

I wonder if anyone else ever feels like I do. There’s a huge part of me that is not satisfied. I cannot explain the “why”. I know I’m blessed. I’m blessed in so many great ways and yet something feels unfinished. It’s like an uneasy feeling in the pit of my soul. Sometimes I will feel so deeply from that part of me during a song, or a story I hear or read. But usually it’s just there.

When I play my piano and create melodies I feel fulfilled. When I created life x’s 6, I was fulfilled! When I know my life has touched another person’s life in a big way I am fulfilled. When I have quiet ALONE time (which is SO rare in my world) I feel very fulfilled and energized and focused. In my world those moments are so rare. I grab them briefly here and there. I think sometimes that’s the best thing I can do. When I create, whether art, music, styles, writing, or decor.. I am very fulfilled. When I dance I am fulfilled.

Anxiety and worry are so common in our culture. We turn on the news and it’s full of negative stories that invite fear, doubt, or sadness to invade our thoughts. Sure it would be ideal to avoid all negative elements while going through our daily agendas, but outside of living in a bubble, that’s virtually impossible. We can, however, learn how to dump the junk – quickly! Throw it out as soon as it sabotages us. Learn that while there is situations that can be overwhelming to understand, we can teach ourselves to relax, pray and release it, and that’s really okay. In fact it’s good. Jesus said His yoke is easy and His burden light. Also He said that He will keep us in perfect peace – as our minds are stayed on Him. #relax #dontworry #dontbeanxious

The Amazing Strength of a Woman

You never realize how intricately your emotions are knit within your soul. As women, we often are the “glue” that holds everything together. We are the nurturers who clean the wounds and place a bandage on a child’s knee. We are the “calm” in the midst of a storm. We are the “hugs” when someone’s heart has been broken. We are the planners, the empowerers, the dream launchers and the one stable force in our society.
So many times we carry such a large load. We wear many hats and we are okay with that, in fact we thrive doing life that way.

I can attest to the fact that there comes a time when the mountain of emotions well up inside you. There’s a time when you’re all alone, that all you can do is exhale and maybe a few tears roll down your cheeks because you carry so much of the needs of others.

It’s times like these that we cannot base our realities on our feelings. We have to just recognize that we needed a moment to unwind, but that doesn’t mean we are falling apart or losing it. It means we are human beings of the xx chromosome factor. We are strong, and yet tender.

One thing I have learned about myself and from watching others close to me is that we, as women, have a unique ability to revamp and get back up and make it through crisis. It’s a God-given trait, I believe. We can be the cheerleaders of life, the mentorers, the supporters, the starters~ we truly are remarkable beings.

Home is Where “they” Are.

Every year I get away with the family for a week or so just to recharge. Often it’s Southern California we go to because we have a lot of family living there. I look forward to the beach every year. I was blessed to live in OC for 11 years from my college years and young adult years. Beach was a part of normal life. My husband is a native Santa Barbara born guy. Needless to say, we have beach in our blood. But…. We live in the desert.

We moved to Arizona several years ago. There are times I wonder about why we left.. But now we are so invested and this is where we are planted. One thing I do not miss about Southern California is the traffic!

When we returned from our trip, I have to say one thing I love about the greater Phoenix area is how clean it is.

Regardless of  locations Home for me is where my kids and husband are, whether beach, or desert, as long as we are together, we are “home”.

“The beauty of …

“The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. Its the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows and the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.” ~ Audrey Hepburn.

I love Audrey Hepburn quotes! I wish I had known her. She seemed like the epitome of a lady, and yet progressive for her time period. I love the fact that she refers to herself as an introvert. I think introverts are misunderstood and often thought of as recluses and hermits. The true definition of an introvert is that they get energized from alone time, as opposed to their counter persona, the extrovert, which absolutely has to be around other people and is energized by doing so. Both personality traits are great.

I am by nature, an introvert, and yet I am often mistaken for an extrovert because I have been a top sales person, I am a public speaker and singer. But those are all skills I gained through life in the various positions I have held. Even though I like people and have have a generally great conversation, I still, in the core of who I am, like nothing better than a quiet night at home.

There’s no place like home.
