What does my Heart say?

Had a wonderful grateful filled and loving weekend. Spring cleaning at home and deep into my passions. My pens and pencils were put to good use and my camera saw some really beautiful things. Inspired!

What does my Heart say?

My heart says that I'm in a happy place, that even though the ground is shacking the cement will soon dry and make it strong.

My heart says this is a good place to be, it's peaceful and full of joy and though it is small it is full of love and laughter.

My heart says some parts of my journey have been filled with sadness but what better way to reach the gratitude you feel today?

My heart says I love where I stand today and who stands with me today and looking back is not an option.

My heart says everyone is capable of love but only if they know how to love themselves first.

My heart says don't dim your light, don't bow your head, walk tall and proud.

My heart says thank you for taking care of me, for protecting me and for not lying to me.

My heart says thank you for all the laughter.

My heart says thank you for all the times your face bought me comfort.

My heart says continue to make the best choices that will help keep us healthy so we can live a long strong healthy life.

What does your heart say?

Collector of Beautiful things

I'm a collector of Beautiful things. 

Soft and fluffy, plush and bright suck me in. 

Vibrant colors all the shades make me smile

like a child who sees a rainbow makes my heart go wild.

The details in the package, the care and strategic placement delivery is always key.

I'm a sucker for presentation but that's how it should be.

I'm a collector of Beautiful things.
Books, letters, cards and quotes. Words that inspire and bring about growth.
Expressed thoughts that provoke conversation and expand our world
letters coming together to form words that encourage Love.

I'm a collector of Beautiful things.
People who give more than they take.
Who spread seeds of joy and laughter who leave you inspired and uplifted.
Their absence is felt the moment they leave the room.

I'm a collector of Beautiful things.

Wordless Wednesday Say it with a Picture

I don't believe I have really touch on another passion of mine and or shared anything about it.
I believe I have commented briefly in the past my mother shutting down my dream of becoming a National Geographic Photographer by making comments on how that wasn't work and that pictures wouldn't pay my bills.

Those comments stopped my pursuit of Nat Geo many years ago but not my love for cameras or pictures.
Around the same time I began to explore being fearless and jumped into blogging I jumped into my photography with the intent to share my pictures with the world.
What better way than through Instagram to test the waters.

Challenge #12 on September Sapphire Even Day Blog Challenge with Kimberly from beingawordsmith.com is to show off some of our best pictures so here they are...

I have had such a blast this past year getting to know the city I love NYC in another light. All grown up and full of curiosity just like a kid again.

Hope you enjoyed my share and if you are interested in seeing more come over and visit me at Mar_y_Cielo925 on instagram and check out some of my available prints @society6.com.
