it's in the air... can you feel it?

Taking the time to enjoy the evening, I find myself feeling the magic in the air..  it hit me like the marshmellow, fluffy textured clouds in the sky, and it is amazing! 

Spending cherished moments with a group of dear souls, kin to one another, was a delightful adventure this evening.  It was quite lovely to be present for all the love shared between the three brothers, connected by their adventures and mishaps, sure, but also noticing the connection shared and unspoken love for one another. 

As an outsider, looking in, it was a magical experience- one to be treasured; knowing that I too have kinship as magnificent with the tribe of people I call family- related by blood, adventure, and otherwise. 

Perception is a magical thing.  It can pass undetected through even the thickest walls.  Light as a feather, making one small adjustment in perception can cause the wall, thought by many to be untouchable and impossible to bring down, to shake, shudder, and crumble in the light cast upon it. 

Imagine if there was a place deep within yourself, one you feel impossible as this unchangeable force contained within the wall.. what would it be like to allow the gentle caress of a feather to open the door of a new perception?  How could that experience alter your outlook on life - would it be possible to lighten the load by imagining with this mystical, magical feather even the heaviest of burdens could feel lighter than the feather itself? 

I wish you enough~

Ps, do you feel it? It's happening, let the light shine!

..It's about that time..

What is it that I have in mind?  That time is now, yes, you've got it: right now.

The present moment is always a gift for us to unwrap and unfold as we best see fit.  Even if you feel you cannot change your job, place of residence, or something of those sorts of physical things which seem impossible to modify, the beauty of now is that we have the opportunity to change our perception of these "untouchables."

The opportunity is always present, yes - pun intended, to find a better way or modify our perception in order to enhance our existence in this life.  It's always the right time to make better choices or find an improved sense of the external and internal environment you are amidst in life as it unravels and reveals its truth around each bend in the road.

Exposing yourself to and being open for a new way of thinking, as easy or challenging as you choose to make it, has the potential to create massive ripples in the river of your being.  Even stones, as unphased as they may be by many forces, over time as they turn over and over, washed in that, perhaps metaphorical, river are eventually smoothed over with each turn.  It makes no difference whether the stone is large or small, as it is turned or bumped along the way, each new opportunity met reshapes that stone just as easily as we can reshape our reality via the thoughts we have or better yet the "bumps" in our perception of the world as it may be.

So, there it is.  The time is now.

May you be open to the beauty existing in the present tense and time...


I wish you enough.

...And so it is

Living life on your own terms.  This may look, sound or feel like any number of things for each individual that reads the phrase.  For me, living life on my terms has been a roller coaster ride of a journey- filled with highs, lows and chugging or speeding along in between each valley and mountain on the way. 

Courage is not needed.  Being brave is not needed.  Having support from others is not needed. 

While all of these things are lovely, when present on the journey, for me life on my own terms there is only one thing needed.  Love.  Love from the self, for the self. 

Does this mean I am selfish?
What does that mean?  ...really.

For me, in loving and having compassion for who I am from the roots of my soul to how I am present, or not, in my life has been fueling my journey.  We have the ability to transform our life and in the process of doing so, impacting those in near and far proximity.  As a result, this in turn transforms the world.  It transforms the world we live in, each and every day. 

Each person, in my humble opinion, has the option of life on their terms.  For some they may think it is scary to live in accordance with what makes them a unique contributor to this planet.. I have found that it is in these places that I question myself and wonder what is so scary about being me??  

I haven't yet come up with a good answer to that question.  When I say (to myself, of course), well, there is so much going on and so much that I am responsible for so much to do, so many things that could be better.. My reply (yes, again to myself) is the only true responsibility is representing my authentic footprint on this planet to the best of my ability. 

This fills my "tank" with any courage, bravery, compassion, and support I may need in a given situation when I find myself feeling afraid- knowing that I am responsible for myself and the actions I take.  When making choices, beginning with myself, using love as my guiding light, the world is not such a scary place to exist. 

My life looks 100% like my own, and I am happy to continue living in this way.  

It may not fit into any magazines or be recognized by the media, endorsed by public opinion as being "the right way", but none of that matters because I allow myself to be filled with love for myself, which in turn shines out to those closest to me, and onward to others whom I interact with, regardless of the near or far proximity in which they exist on this planet. 

I live well, love well and am honored to do so first and foremost for myself.  I find hope that this reaches and inspires the lives of others to first fully love and accept themselves- then allows that feeling of pure bliss and unencumbered peace to be filled in their presence with themselves and radiates outward to further inspire those in their proximity, near or far.  

Having honor and integrity in my own life, on my own terms, has led me down many beautiful paths and has gifted me with the presence of many beautiful souls.  For this I am grateful.

I wish you enough.


XOXO, Cassie
