today’s mantra: i will find center in the middle of whatever space i am in.
sometimes i just feel lost in space…the world spins around me passing by. i’m inside a glass bubble watching everyone around me living breathing smiling. here is sit.
how about you? have you defined your purpose? do you know what your blueprint is? do you know the path from point a (here and now) to your next point b? or c? or z?
i meditate so that my mind cannot complicate my life.
Sri Chinmoy,Indian spiritual leader
sometimes it’s mandatory to take time to pause, reflect, plan, and meditate. when everything is rushing around us seemingly out of control, we can regain by taking a few moments to recalibrate.
today’s mantra:i am full of passion for [insert passion]. i will carve out time today to enjoy one activity that stimulates happy brain chemicals. 🤗
one passion i love to spend time on lately is playing the piano. my piano is out of tune and a couple keys don’t work right now but i still find happiness when i sit down to play and sing.
what is one hobby activity that you do that brings all the endorphins rushing?
you’re only given on little spark of madness – you mustn’t lose it.
Sir Robin Williams, actor
challenge: set aside at least 15 min today to do something good for your brain. make art, exercise, stretch, sing, clean…anything that brings you joy. and then enjoyyyy the brain rush of happy chemicals that flow through your heart and mind! 🌈✨
unicorn city news update:
i have goals. things are rollin along. never as quickly as one would hope i suppose but hey just keep swimming, right?! the day job has been keeping me busy. i love this little unicorn project tho – it inspires me to share messages that may ‘make a difference to that one”. Remember the starfish poem?
someone asked me yesterday why i choose to highlight mental health. i spewed out a ton of reasons. people i know and love suffer from mental health challenges. i really want to just be a part of eliminating the negative stigmas associated with mental health challenges.
suicide, self harm, depression – all very real challenges teenagers and adults in our lives face. by adding cute critters and rainbow horns to positive messages, i hope to simply do my part to spread awareness and love for all hoomans.
today’s mantra: i will love others today like tomorrow is a gift. 💝
i read a line in a book i started reading – it asked if we are going through life as if it is a dress rehearsal. i thought about that. in some ways, yes, it feels like it. like we are waiting for someone to rescue us or to sprinkle a million dollars all around or to hand us the magic wand that will undo all that we’ve done. 💥 surprise! 💥 we are in the thick of act two of The Play Called Your Life right now. act three may be short. or long. or…who knows?
your purpose in life is to find your purpose and give your whole soul to it.
Buddha,teacher
hug the people. speak kind words. we all are carrying our own set of struggles – some more willing to offload this struggles verbally, others less willingly. leave no ‘i love you’ unsaid.
treat yourself to the first day of the rest of your life by stepping into this day with determination to fulfill your life’s purpose. it’s do it before you die time. this world is a tumultuous playground at this moment. ride the wave of fate into the shoreline fulfilling your life’s purpose today. 🙏🏽✨
visualize: you are taking the final bow of your life. the audience is before you. Gods, angels, all the witnesses. how do you feel? did you deliver the performance as you intended?
life may spin. people may hum. clouds may form. i will stay centered. i will choose simple in a complicated world. 🌎
i have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. these three are your greatest treasures.
Lao Tzu,Chinese philosopher
today i will allow it to be a simple, uncomplicated day. i will be at peace with myself. i will find only love in my relationships. i will choose to be a light seeker in the roles i play throughout this day.
well hello there! this is me. i just wanted to say hi and tell you a tiny bit about me. i am a single momma to beautiful babies. i work a busy day job. i love to write and read especially poetry like #shelsilverstein and #drsuess (and #bukowski but that’s my alter ego talking…). i dislike most tv but LOVE the office and longmire. 🤔 i always have a new idea for something to try or use or do…i am currently trying to build my little unicorn city here as it is my favorite place to be right now. this scene in particular reminds me of the final world in #shangchi !!! #iykyk
i have a passion for talking about mental health issues. i want to be a part of a movement that brings acceptance, awareness, and assistance to those suffering from mental health infirmities. i want to create relatable characters for adults and children. ☔️
How you love yourself is how you teach others to love you.
Rupi Kaur, poet
also, rainbows. 🌈 i have included rainbows in my art to support diversity and inclusivity of all kinds…sexual orientation, race, gender status, weirdness…all unicorns welcome! 🙏🏽
one thing i have learned in my writings and life experience is that the #lgbtq community is SO SUPPORTIVE of each other. truly, love is the guiding principle in lgbtq groups and forums. i want to be a part of spreading real love for others no matter their status, religion, etc etc. hoomans loving hoomans. 🤍
i am vocal about seeking professional mental health assistance. if our physical bodies are out of shape, we hire a physical trainer. if our minds our out of sync, we need therapists. i have one that challenges me to grow. as a #parent i think having a #parentingcoach for your #family is a great idea. i am a #singlemom so that amplifies my need to have another person to talk things through with. HBU?
Your self worth is determined by you. You don’t have to depend on someone to tell you who you are.
Beyoncé Knowles, singer-songwriter
today i love me. it’s been a long journey to that statement. life has it’s twists and turns ups and downs as you well know. i hope you are at a stage where you can say “i love me” and mean it and believe it. if not, that’s okay. it’s a process, a journey. we’ll work on ourselves together, mmmkayy?
so that’s a little about me! thx so much for following along!
