I heard it put the other day that our human must take care of our being because our human is the container for our soul.

Have you ever felt that you wanted to do something, but you had to wait until…?

You had to wait until you lost a few pounds to start going to the gym…

You had to get your house in order and make everything look perfect before you could invite friends over…

You had to take an online course before you could start that business…

You had to learn about blogging before you could start a blog…

You had to be more fit and look better before you could be in a relationship…

The list goes on, but the truth is, nothing will ever be perfect…including you, and that doesn’t matter one bit.

It starts with you learning to love the human your sole dwells in.

You don’t need to fit in or be perfect, you need to stand out as only you can. It has taken me the better part of my life to figure that out!

One day, not long ago, I suddenly had the realization that everything my life began to change when I finally decided that I matter. For the longest time, I had no idea that I really mattered to anyone…maybe my children, because they needed me and some days, that’s the only thing that kept me going. As a result of not knowing that I mattered, I attracted people and situations into my life that just reinforced those feelings. I never felt comfortable being myself so there were very few people who truly knew me anyway. When I finally decided that I mattered, things really started to change for me. When I decided I mattered, I began to be more bold with my blog posts and my fashion. I felt more confident and started attracting people into my life that reinforced that confidence. That is the way it works…

Everyone has things about themselves that they want to change and there is nothing wrong with that to a certain extent, but you can’t wait until those things change to start living. The difference between the people who wait until…and the people who make a move is that the people who make a move know how to live life to the fullest! Don’t let another day go making excuses for not doing what you want to be doing. Just get started and love yourself for every flaw you think you have.

When you are able to accept who you are and understand that the world needs the gifts of every single one of us you’ll begin to attract the right people, places and things into your life.

You are extraordinary without changing a thing….your differences make you a unique individual!

Believe that you are enough simply because you are!

Do you ever worry that if people knew the true you that they wouldn’t like you. Do you feel like an imposter and not good enough?

Everyone feels like this to some extent, so…if everyone feels like this, then it makes no sense to be concerned about showing your true self.

No one is perfect but everyone is powerful. Step into your power. You can be flawed and still be everything you’ve ever wanted to be at the same time. I’m not going to promise you it will be easy…putting yourself out there never is, but I can promise you that it will be worth it! Give yourself a break and shine your light…flaws and all!

When you stop expecting perfection from yourself and others, you set yourself free. Have you ever found yourself judging some one who appears to be perfect while at the same time expecting perfection from yourself? Think about that for a moment!

You can create an unbelievable life but playing small because you’re afraid that people will see who you really are is getting you nowhere!

Perfect is an illusion and it’s based on a fear of not being enough.

Don’t focus on your imperfections, focus on your magic. Be your best and stop trying to impress anyone but yourself. You weren’t born to fit in. Love who you are and go do something great…whatever that is for you!

Everyone will end this life with their imperfections and quirks, but some of us will also create a little magic. Live your life so that you can look back and at the end…feel proud of what you’ve done!

I wish for you to know that it’s possible to be a flawed human while at the same time, extraordinarily happy, and successful, You get to be who you are and that’s enough…with your past, your fears, and your limitations. You can still be extraordinary beyond your wildest dreams.

You were meant to be here and the world needs your story. Don’t waste your precious life trying to be perfect before you start being great.

Show yourself what you’re made of and let people think what they will…it doesn’t matter!

Do the thing that scares you the most.

You are strong, stronger than you think in spite of your flaws and imperfections…

If you truly believe that then the sky isn’t even the limit. You have an incredible opportunity to decide every morning to wake up and make a great life.

You have an opportunity to do this for yourself, your family and for the world. You get to decide that you matter and the moment you decide, you’ll never be the same.

You’ll show up to the party differently.

Your human is the way your soul interacts in this physical world and your human is most likely needing a little love!. Being alive is a privilege. You can start your journey toward everything you’ve ever wanted right now and all you have to do is accept exactly who you are. You don’t have to change a thing.

I have come to profoundly believe that my life matters…that what I have to say matters and that’s how I’ve decided to live! It feels so good to be able to say that after so many years of thinking I didn’t matter!

The ripple effect of believing this is beyond anything you could imagine. If you believe you matter, people will listen. You are important enough to make anything happen. Do it messy and imperfect, do it real and do it raw…it’s the best way! Start the business, fall in love, forgive yourself and others, forget, start over, start fresh.

Today matters, because in the blink of an eye today is yesterday. And who were were yesterday shapes what you believe about tomorrow. What you believe about tomorrow decides how you show up today. These timelines melt into one because of what we think and what we believe, so we might as well believe we can have it all. and then we can.

My daughter once received a birthday card from a sweet little girl at her school They were in kindergarten and the card was handmade. On the outside was a picture of a rainbow and inside, the card read - I WISH FOR YOU A RAINBOW.

I wish for you a rainbow!

Believe in your magic. It will change your life!

Stop trying to let go of the worst of you before you become the best of you! There will always be something to “fix”!

Today is the last day of the first month of 2022! Start the first day of February differently…make a decision to allow yourself have it all and finally be free.

Thank you to Sara-Anne Photography for this picture! It was a fun shoot and I’m proud of how I showed up!
