...things of fairy dust, decorating and silver linings

...hello dear readers

sometimes in life,

i find it useful,

to carry a few shiny bits of magic around with me

for those occasional moments,

that sneak up and try to steal my joy away!

aaahhh ~

yah no!

"NOT today!!"

i say, as i toss a bit of fairy dust in the air!

this is my mantel

~ i put up a grey linen/vintage bit of irish lace backdrop

because,

long pause......

deep breath

(and even then, i hesitate to tell you)

but

this is just our temp abode!!

(yes, we are seeking a house ~ STILL!)

so needless to say,

if i had my druthers

(does anyone say this anymore??!)

 my wall colors would be more along this line...

as we are only here until july-ish,

i have no extra energy to paint it!

(what's that you say??)

((you think i'm a nomad??!!))

(((yes,

yes my dears,

it IS beginning to appear as such)))

HA!!

but on this journey to my most authentic self,

it is simply a must

A MUST!

i tell you,

to remain open to the twists and turns in life

for i have found,

those turns do have a purpose...

so i adorn my spaces,

for however long,

as best as i can...

with things that i find beauty in,

and fill in the rest with as much love as i am able

i recently read somewhere

something that struck a cord with me

 and made me throw my head back in laughter...

would you like to hear?!

well then,

here.

it.

is.

be the kind of woman

that when your feet hit the floor each morning

the devil says:
"Oh Crap, She's up!"

i know right?

~ AWESOME ~

i read this as the kind of woman i want to be!

which in no means is as a negative woman

but instead,

a woman that is strong in her soul

that knows that with those glorious rainbows

that also,

the storms will come

but

she can deal with it graciously and she won't fall over!!

i believe that at the end of every challenging road,

there stands a silver lining...

if you give up,

you will never see it!

but if you keep on,

you may see a glimpse of heaven...

my heart is broken in many places

and i wouldn't trade it in for a new one if i had too!!

would you?!

i have earned those cracks

and it is my hope

that through those cracks,

you can see a lovely light within me...

and perhaps, my whimsy:)
