Life

 It's ok that it has taken me longer to figure out what I want to do with my life.

I appreciate and value the experiences that it took for me to get there and all of the lesson I learned from it all.

I am content with my current occupation, helping the kiddos become good little human beings. It has meaning.

I will manifest my dreams of becoming a social worker/counselor, making a difference in people's lives, a meaningful career.

I will manifest my dreams of traveling.

I manifest finding my people, meaningful connections.

I will manifest a happy life.

I will be present and content in the current moment rather than always needing to strive for more but also find balance in working towards always growing, learning, improving and creating a good future.

I love myself, I accept myself and my flaws.

I will focus on my strengths not my insecurities but also strive to improve the things I can change.

I won't be too hard on myself. But will hold myself accountable to always try to be better

I will be the change I wish to see in the world. 

 I will always remember to be thankful for my life and all that I have,who and what I get to experience 

The moon

 Don't tell me the sky is the limit when there are footprints on the Moon. 🌙

I can't help but believe in the magic and beauty of this universe when I look up at that the moon. We are a part of something bigger than ourselves, this universe. And looking at the moon reminds me how small are problems are compared to the size of the universe and all that is going on for us to be a live and witnessing this miracle called life right at this very moment. We are not just part of the universe, but one way of looking at things, is that we are the universe because our atoms are made of the same elements that came from the stars,  and we are just experiencing or expressing ourselves as humans for a while.

Looking at the moon can make me believe anything is possible,opportunities endless, miracles can happen and maybe there is purpose and meaning and more to this universe, whether it is God or some other higher power/ greater being and life after death, whether it be heaven or reincarnation or something else. I guess the mystery and infinite possibilities of it all is what makes this universe so amazing, magical and beautiful. And even if there isn't something else, experiencing this one life and being a part of this amazing galaxy is something more or big in itself, it is more than magical and spectacular enough.

This world has so much to offer

 There are so many things to do in this world 

So many people to meet
And experiences to have 
It is exciting
And it is daunting
To want to do it all 
There are northern lights shining in the sky right now somewhere in the world
Camels roaming in the Saharan Desert
A pack of Lions waking up from a nap at Kruger National Park 
Cheetahs racing in the plains of South Africa
Dolphins swimming in the Gulf of Mexico 
But there is something profoundly soothing in knowing all of these miraculous things exist
Maybe that is in and of itself enough
In and of itself, knowing these amazing things exist is pretty spectacular

There is also beauty in the mundane

And adventure and magic to be found in every day life where you are now
The world has so much to offer
Rather than be discouraged, I choose to be inspired of all the possibilities to make the most of this one beautiful life 

Moments

 Relationships are moments. Sometimes, you'll get a 3 month moment with someone, and other times, you'll get a 60 year moment. And when that moment ends, let it. When that person leaves, let them. Don't force anything. Stop focusing on when the moment is going to end and how scary and painful it will be, and just relish the moment while it lasts. And this goes for all good things, places,experiences and life itself. I am so thankful for so many different kinds and lengths of moments.

Life is funny

Life is funny, you meet people unexpectantly and the connection you have with them impact you more than people you see every day, you think you know what you want and what your path to your life purpose is but life has other plans and detours for you, you think you know the people who will stay and be your forever people and then some leave but then new people come along, your feelings are so strong that you think they will last forever but things change or you let someone go and think your feelings will stop but then you end up always caring about them and wishing them well, maybe everything is going great and then something goes wrong, but then better things come along. And maybe no matter how things end up, you wouldn't take anything back because every experience was either a blessing or a lesson.

 The people who you meet along the way who made you smile especially so. Maybe the memories of strangers turning into friendships and rare connections is worth it. Maybe the grattitude for all of the experiences made, adventures had, shanigans that lead to trouble but end up making great stories to tell, deep talks and advice given as well as a shoulder to cry on and hug when needed, and laughter shared are  priceless ...But not any old laughter the kind of laugh that makes you cry or snort and you can't stop until you are not able to breathe laughter and it starts all over again when you look at them and realize how much you appreciate their existince type of laughter...well maybe all of that makes all of the rare connections made dispite if they don't last forever or change/ fade over time more  worth while than anything even if they take a piece of your heart with them when they go.

Life is funny, but I am so thankful for it all
