Grace VanderWaal - Beautiful Thing (Lyric)

Roots Deep

The support we have blesses us so
We have so much, enough to grow

Our family and loved ones, roots deep like a tree
Fast, graceful and enduring, the weeping willow is

Beautiful like water from a well placed underground
Close to the center of the Earth where all of creation is formed

Like the soil that comes from a volcano
Prolific creation

Blessed Support

Quiet Space

I don't feel like music 

I've been listening to it all day

The way I constantly contradict myself when I talk to my kids

Makes my head spin in circles 

Sometimes I think I'm just talking out loud to myself

Correcting my mistakes and teaching myself how to go about life

Hopeful Comfort

Finding some sort of routine in my life helps me to feel good, like I have something to look forward to. Even if it's just a cup of coffee in the morning or a cup of tea in the afternoon.
Even if it's watching the sunrise or the sunset each day.
Even if it's my baby waking me up way earlier than I'd like.
Even if it's the dogs asking to go outside for their duties.
Looking at the father of my children.
Looking into the eyes of my children.
Spending time with my mom and dad.
A visit with my brother or my sister and their families.
Jotting down thoughts about life.
What goals to set for 2018, 2019, 2020...

Sia Performs 'Bird Set Free'

The Happiest Hello

When I try to find my writers voice I realize it's been silent for so long

That's why it's full of tears

Our voice is our password in this system and I read what I write as often as a painter talks about what it is they're painting

The voice of an artist is like a rare bird

Ziiiiinnnnnnggggg

The holiday season has arrived and we are going into celebration mode. A time for family, friends, laughter and good cheer. Decorations light homes and hearts like ziiiinnnnngggg (onomatopoeia). People feel happy, togetherness and warm wishes.

This is a time, along with every other moment we have in our lifetimes, to enjoy, smile and wish. My son Ellington inspired me making the ornament with these words because those were ones he chose. In the definition of enjoy it says "take" and that is something that made me look twice at the meaning. The reason for this is because I've been thinking about when it's fair to take and when we should just accept what is given.

In the definition for the word enjoy it says, "take delight or pleasure in". I suppose this is when it's acceptable to "take". This holiday season, I'm choosing to take delight and pleasure in the real ziiiinnnggers. The kind of people, places, things or ideas that bring the true spirit of Christmas to life.
