Have you taken the time to notice how the leaves fall nonchalantly from its limbs?

On my walk I found this leaf and felt the need to hold on to it. How could the trees let go of such beauty, leaving behind bare limbs? Yet, so it must be. Letting go, of all that shows us how much it has flourished over the past few months.

Fall is all about showing us the beauty of letting go. Letting go of all that we may think we need, even if it has helped us survive. The growth within still continues, even if the outside appearance of the tree may look distraught.

This season, take some time to breathe and let go. What we may think we need to survive, may actually be hindering our mental, emotional and physical growth. Spend time to embrace your internal beauty so you may once again flourish externally.

As it is now spring I enjoy watching the trees and flowers blossom all around me. I love seeing my garden come to life after a long dormant winter.

In PA our weather is not the perfect spring conditions we are all awaiting. The weather can go from sunny, to rain and sleeting all in the same day, but the trees and flowers still continue to bloom forward.

This is such a wonderful reminder about what our personal growth may look like. We may be stuck in the midst of a storm that brings us uncertainty and unforeseen challenges, but we must be intentional in our journey.

No matter what the surrounding conditions, always be intentional with maintaining your peace, health and relationships. Sometimes you may fall off due to outside forces, but don’t let it get you completely off course. Trust that those conditions won’t interfere with achieving your ultimate bloom.

Did you put your positive pants on this morning?

Well, here is to hoping that you started this week off with a flexible state of mind that’s ready to get stuff done.

Whatever may come your way this week, know that your mindset will determine if you handle it like Will Smith or Chris Rock. Gentle Reminder- It’s not acceptable to slap anyone as a means to release your frustration. Negativity only creates an environment for further self destruction.

Stay Focused, Stay Positive, Stay Strong- Trust that Karma will get those that aren’t on your level.

In a world driven by likes, sharing and it can quickly become overwhelming and lost in the web of falsehoods. It’s so important that we find time to disconnect and give ourselves some self care. Trust me there are not enough likes in the world to show you how much we are worth.

So this weekend, take the time to do something for you. If you don’t have any alone time planned as yet, make it a priority now.

Well, not only would you have missed a wonderful soundtrack, you would miss an important lesson on love, trust, patience and understanding. The imagery of Belle and the Beast would be quite scary without the dialogue that is developed in order for the characters to see beyond what’s on the outside.
Most people would see Belle as just a physically beautiful character, but what made her truly beautiful is her curiosity about the world and her ability to be comfortable with who she was, on the inside and outside. She owned her self identity loud and proud. That’s what made her beautiful.

Belle used her inner beauty to make a positive change for others and helped to show the Beast that his outward appearance, isn’t who he truly was.

The movie teaches us several lessons on how to find our inner beauty:

💐When we choose to see the best in people, it’s a mirror inward to give ourselves the space we need to grow. Until we understand how our past failures and trauma impact our lives, we cannot learn to channel that energy into seeing the good in others as well.

💐 You can’t be true to who you are if you keep denying your story. The stories we tell ourselves have the power to heal or poison our hearts and minds. Be careful of what you consume.

💐 When we begin to overcome ourselves, we overcome our insecurities and flaws. Embracing what makes us different, leads us to discovering what makes us special. It’s not your job to fit into someone else’s storyline. Set your our own expectations and live without regret.

So as March, is the month we begin to see the colorful tulip and hyacinth bulbs begin the protrude from the ground. Take notice of how they have spend the past several months internally working on the beauty they will show the world. Affirm, “Accepting myself as I am right now is the first step in growing and evolving.”
