moving forward

hasta lavista

looking forward to new adventures.

fate

a few minutes

late walking, you could miss a train.

but while you wait for the next one,

                                     your

world might start spinning faster.

someone new saunters 

off the subway and into your

                                       life

with nothing more than 

a smile at the exact right

moment. sometimes fate

                                       is

generous. the challenge is

acknowledging the gifts

she offers. they are

                                      not

always obvious. at times

one appears, subtle

as a moon shadow. a smile

                                    the same

as a thousand other smiles,

except for the intent

behind it.

where you want to be

so let go, jump in, oh well, what you waiting for?

'Even though you may want to move forward in your life,

you may have one foot on the brakes.

In order to be free,

we must learn how to let go. 

Release the hurt.

Release the fear.

Refuse to entertain your old pain.

The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life.

What is it you would let go of today?'

If I was a rich girl...

I'd be wearing Queen B's headbands,
all for the reasonable price of $4,000.
In the ever wise words of Countess LuAnn,
'money can't buy you class'
but it can buy you some gorgeous Gossip Girl-worthy headwear.

très chic!

she loved most about water

is buoyancy.

she didn't have to sink

if she didn't want to."

My dear old dog, most constant of all friends.

You ask of my companions.

 Hills, sir, and the sundown, 

and a dog as large as myself that my father bought me. 

They are better than human beings, because they know but do not tell.

forgive&forget

and let go of what's unhealthy & holding you back.
forgive the ones who have hurt you,
and find the beauty in being free of their negativity.
