Being Rooted...

Being rooted means to me...  it's the place I'm connected to life.  All the things that make up "me." My thoughts, my feelings, my mistakes, my triumphs, my experiences are my roots from which I have grown. The beliefs I hold for my life and the choices I make and what I hold and value are part of my being rooted.  When a storm comes through in my life, I hold strong to these roots and it keeps me steady even if everything on the outside looks like it's falling apart. There are times in my life these roots have been brought to the surface thirsty for the water that feeds them, hungry for the security of the earth, once again. I find quiet and reach deep to give my roots what they long for.

Need...

I was in need of some nice words today... and for me there is nothing better then a quote...or two!

"Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it."

"She took the leap and built her wings on the way down."

" Be kind to everything that lives."

" If you're making mistakes, it means you're out there doing something."

" Just because something ends doesn't mean it never should've been. Remember, you lived, you learned, you grew and you moved on."

" You can never make to much Happy."

" When you stop believing in Santa... you get underwear."

" Your cells contain the universe."

" The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind."

" Don't shine so others can see you. Shine so that, through you, others can see."

" Broken crayons still color."

" We met for a reason, either you're a blessing or a lesson."

" It you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place."
