“Don’t let Weeds grow around your dreams…”

I realize that I have been in a very dreamy place
lately. I have been in a place where everything seems possible and in fact, everything becoming a reality is just around the corner. Yes. I am a positive person. No I do not make any apologies for it. I can only be who I am. I enjoy bringing sunshine to people around me. Not just my friends and loved ones, but everyone around me. I enjoy allowing people into my space, my heart, my mind. I enjoy strong winds, long soft hugs and big hair. I am learning not to apologize for who I am. Not to allow anyone to stop me from being just me.
Tonight I was back in my element. My element with a bright dress…big hair…fly heels cause you know how i get down…I truly love being me…The me that God allows me to see every day. I pray that i can hold on to this feeling. With so many people trying as hard as they can to put my light out I am going to fight to protect the flame. I truly love the God in me.
For whatever it means, i believe in my dreams and i will fight to help people believe in theirs. The moments we get are so precious and it hurts to see people allow their dreams to get molded over with weeds and disappointment for the sake of a paycheck.
Life is too short. Laugh hard. As often as you can, until your stomach hurts and your eyes water because it feels so good when you finish. Love hard. And often because whether it works out or doesn’t its an experience and there are lessons that always come from it. Listen with your heart. Really try to pay attention to what is being said to you and not so much on what your response is going to be. Listen and allow love to guide your path. Life is beautiful.
Take a moment and do something you love to do, like people watch at your favorite cafe or sit back in a chair and allow the sun to kiss your face. Actually open your eyes to the world around you. God is good. Life is amazing. Drink it all in and focus.
What other people think about me and how i live doesn’t matter…yes…i love…yes i dream…yes i believe that i will be everything God has told me i will be. I am excited about the possibilities of it all and no i do not apologize for it.
Yes I love
