tell me things

my lovelies are nearing the conclusion of eight-dom. within a matter of weeks, they will open the curtains to the world as 9-year-olds.

which makes me think.

there is much to still say. do. be. so my mind dances with thoughts. while my belly fills with hope. and my arms ache knowing we must let them loose in the world more. so they can grow as big as their dreams.

and, so, the list grows. wisps of wisdom i must devote to my lovelies before they stand too tall on their own. it is only a beginning, but...

the truth always reveals itself.

notice the difference between love and fear. and act on love.

happiness is temporary. fulfillment is deep with purpose and meaning. don't chase happiness before fastening to fulfillment.

we become what we surround ourselves with -- be perceptive.

you have the strength to reject what isn't true to you.

you become brave little by little. so try on your convictions. stare down doubt. and know how to rescue yourself.

responsibility is making a choice. and accepting its consequences.

you don't have to make all the mistakes yourself -- learn from others.

you are more than your mind and body.

to live a spontaneous + joyful+ intelligent life, follow your energy.

you are a divine spark. so, smile. shine. and soar.
