Part of being human is experiencing the full gamut of emotions; repressing our feelings and emotions is not beneficial for our long-term mental and emotional health.

Creativity is a spark but it often appears when we’re busy living our lives.

I know in the future where I’m asking for things and wondering why you are ignoring me.

“

All I want to be is a person who is joyous, who finds hope in the brokenness and light in the dark. I just want to fill and be filled, to bless other people as I have been blessed.

The time you set aside to simply slow down, to be present, to live without focusing on what’s coming next—that’s what sets you free.

Be the laughter that spreads, the smile that greets a person who is struggling through their day. Be the encouragement a stranger needs, a shoulder for one to lean on, a hand to pull them back to their feet again.

Anyone who loves you will open arms to you, not think you’re a burden.
