"Consciously 'seize' every moment, because an idea only takes seconds and a few seconds can change your personal universe entirely"
~Anthea Paul Girlosophy
Sometimes we forget that life is about doing, enjoying, experiencing, and adventuring. It's not about having, owning, gaining, or acquiring.
What's the point of all that really? Ask yourself, does it really make you happier to have more stuff?? In my view more isn't necessarily good, sometimes is just...well...more!
It's the way we really live our lives that matters the most. Richness comes from the soul, not from the pocket. It's the beauty in every hidden moment that is wondrous, not the label on a bag.
Fill your life with positive energy, make every moment count. Set your goals in meaning ways, do something every single day that moves you forward, and open your mind and heart to beauty.
Be what is beautiful in the world, because beautiful people create beauty.

Thanks for checking in. xx
Thank you. I am in the middle of cleaning out my closet, wanting to get rid of yet more 'stuff'(and I don't even have that much) to make room for only things that I LOVE. Perfect timing for me to take a break, read your inspiration, and then continue! Thanks, as usual. Love your piggies.
ReplyDeleteI have just ordered some peerless watercolours and after seeing how gorgeous this page is I am now super excited... might have to start stalking the postie to get them as soon as possible... great post as always...xx
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh when I saw this post because I have seen pigs in some form or another every day since October 25th. Every day I wonder how they'll be shown to me, and here is your post for todays pigs of the day. :) I have no idea why these pigs keep coming up, but I have to say, these are the most colorful ones so far. I need to get some peerless watercolors too. Amazing color!
ReplyDeletei found your blog through an h2o search and so glad i did; your creations are beautiful, colourful and accompanied by some very insightful words.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post! I was drawn in by the picture in my news feed (I love pigs and cows) but the words were even more special.
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS pages!!!!
