April 17th.
Sunny & bright morning.
The daffodils are opening , the star magnolia and
magnolia trees are just starting to pop.
All the songbirds are back...
I can just hear my heart singing....
*BIGOUTWARDBREATH*
Yes, I am a May baby...Springtime is my favorite
month to break out all the pink, green, pastels ...
It is a time for almond, strawberry and lemon cakes.
It is the point in the year where I feel most like me.
( if that even makes sense?)
It has historically also been the most epic times in
my life for transformation.
Though I have been slowly crawling to this point
over the past 2 years.... here I am.
No more planning, just doing.
It is time to grow sweetly wild in the best sense.
New opportunities and challenges will open up when you are in this space.
It just does. It is like the universe can feel that you are ready and then puts
all sorts of lovely things in your path. It is then up to you to follow it.
Growth happens when the conditions are right.
Surrounding yourself with all that makes you happy is not ignorant nor
is it naive . It is necessary in order to be a bright spirit.
We can let the noise of the world distract us with the next
* earth shattering * thing or we can use our God given discernment to
decide what parts of this one life we have to hand over to it.
I am refusing to give the nonsense one more bit of my time.
Instead I will fill my days with the good, the blessings, the meaningful
moments that really matter. I never want to be known as someone
who put personalities over people.
My people.
Filling ones life with happiness is not selfish.
It is not turning from what is happening in the world.
It is the wisdom to realise that if you could control
the world, you would. But you can't .
Making priorities is paramount to living a joy filled life.
God wants us to be happy.
It is this abnormal * fear & misery* that seems to be
what most people view as *normal* now.
It is not.
It is not healthy to be constantly plugged into strife and division.
It is not healthy for us, our families or this country.
When will people learn?
As we heal we can not but help to grow, and that growth
spreads to the world around us.
I knew years ago when I saw this narrative starting that
it would be a hard battle, but I did not know that the
battle for souls and families , truth and our hearts would be
this tough.
Still....
It is time for us to move on, the ones who wish for peace.
I will always try and find common ground where ever I can.
But I will never sacrifice who I am or make myself small
for intolerant people.
I wish for you all the same.
Bring all the happiness you can into your lives.
Whatever that may be.
When I think of foods I love to share with others, this recipe is one of
my favorites.
It is a brunchy thing... but also can be hardy enough for a supper- especially
if made with thing cut fries.
For whatever reason it reminds me of Spring.
It is what is for supper here this evening .
Also....
I have been looking for these vintage chairs for 5 years now.
If anyone out there knows of where I can find them...new or vintage,
please let me know!
I have a vision for a part of the property and this is part of it.
Gramma had a chair similar to it.....
Also, those umbrellas.....aren't they so special?
Creating and crafting, sewing and starting new projects must mean I
am growing once again!
Yay Spring!
Have a blessed day friends!
xoxo
