it was a semi-typical night. i sat down to do some editing, surrounded by my sweeeeeet animals
& decided to turn on the TV for some background noise. Sex in the City happened to be on & i decided it would do.
it was one of the very last episodes when Carrie is in Paris & she realizes that her boyfriend was completely self-involved... and most importantly, that she was settling for less than she wanted & needed. he tells her that he thought he was clear with her "who he was" ...and then she said it -- a line that resignated so deeply within my heart :
well it's time i am clear to you who i am.
i am someone looking for REAL love.
ridiculous,,,
consuming,,,
can't live without you ---
L O V E.
~Carrie Bradshaw
it was such a simple reminder to me of not only being clear always on who i am to others,,, but also to myself.
sometimes,,,
my heart feels as fragile as a potato chip,
& other times as sturdy as a carrot ...
and yet on some days, as if it was as mooshable as snow.

FILLed with that 'ridiculous, consuming, can't live without you looooove.'
you may say that i am a 'hopeless' romantic, however i consider myself 'hopelessly' lucky to be able to feel this feeling,,,
this indescribable craving & want to have, to cherish & to spread LOVE
every.where.and.within.every.thing.
...even though it means that sometimes your heart can get chipped or snapped,,, or even mooshed.
in the end, after all, when you are perfectly 'clear' you have nothing to loose
...and EVERYTHING to gain.
is it time you are clear with yourself?!

wednesday's whimsy : reality

Wednesday, 3.23.11

it's been a while since i did a "wednesday's whimsy",,, merely because this year i decided i was going to blog even more personal posts/thoughts in general -- not just mid-week. however, something about this particularly dreary day we are having inspired me to bring back another dose of a good ol' "wednesday's whimsy".
to be totally honest, lately i have been kinda hard on myself... for really no apparent reason at all. i could problem blame it on hormones or maybe even the weather, but truth is, i don't even know why!! & i feel almost silly about it.
because really, there is no need for it... but i guess it is what it is.
so i decided to turn that frown upside down & FILL up that cup of mine! i started by writing down what i was most grateFULL for (thanks to my ahh!mazing friend Aya
) -- i highly recommend taking a few minutes to do this yourself! i also expressed my gratitude to some loved ones through a couple of handwritten cards. i up'ed my workouts which naturally just gave me the 'boost' i needed (don't chya just love how a workout can do that?!).
& in general, just remembered the importance of taking a moment to
B R E A T H E,
R E L A X
& not worry so dang much about everything because the reality is that alllllllllllllllllll that matters is THIS moment, right now.
literally.
the NOW. nothing else!!!
one day. one step.
each one cherished, noted & well appreciated.
GOSH. isn't it so funny how blessed we can be & yet have to remind ourselves continually?
thank GOODness for all the pleasant ways that life sends you such sweet reminders.

so with all that said, a couple of years ago i did a blog post called evolution?! {to view the original blog post, just CLICK HERE.}
i wanted to repost it today to act as a reminder of the many illusions there are out there & how absolutely NOTHING is more beautyFULL than you,,,
just the way you ARE.
i also deemed this image below quite appropriate for today.
i call it
' love life positive '
