I can honestly say that things happen for a reason.. Do I know and understand what those reasons are at the time that things happen? No. Most of the time I'm usually blindsided by the on going of events that tend to take place in my whirl wind of a life. And even though when things, whether bad or good happen unexpectedly I can't help but look back at my life and smile.Things are never what they seem to be and yet some times they are, they are exactly what you expect or intended them to be and when facing the change that hits us everyday the only thing we can control is the pace we walk it and the reaction we have to it. I have learned that it is far more easier to enjoy what is in front of you instead of wondering what it means...
You may not have the "dream job" you want, the bank account you desire, or relationship you pray for but I'm sure that in front of you, you have so much to be grateful for and so much to enjoy. We have no control over when we'll get that job, that next big score, or that 1st date but we do have control over what we do with ourselves in the midst of it all and most importantly... We have the time to kick back and enjoy the unexpected, make the best out of every situation placed in front of us and in doing so we are sure to find the pleasures of this life that we so long for. Once I have relaxed, clammed my mind, and just kicked back to enjoy life that's when I find the understanding of why the last big storm in life happen and how it applies to the rest of my life. And it's usually in those moments of unexpected clarity that those things that I desire most tend to find me. And again... I'm blindsided by the waves of life and it's never ending change of expression that causes me to view it in whole other way.
In time you are healed, in time you are moved, and in time you are inspired. These things all take TIME, they don't just happen over night, for most of us these things can take days, weeks, months, and/or even years. But, when they do without fail its usually when you least expect it. So, life is to live and enjoy, to live for the unexpected moments; you never know what you'll find but I can almost promise you to expect something amazing. Even when unexpected is painful, its usually after our hardest storms in life that we are surprised with our greatest moments. Endure what is hard to enjoy what is bliss, give when it's the hardest, and to care when it's the easiest. By living for life you will find the strength to take on all that comes your way unexpectedly and you will look back, view the path you walked and smile.

..fairy tales..
Here she sits in the tall, green grass lost in the games she plays. Where nothing bad can ever touch her. She is a princess one day and movie star the next. She dreams of long, beautiful dresses or sold out shows where she sings her heart out. She thinks of kissing like they do in the movies and loving like her mommy loves her daddy. She dances in circles in the tall, green grass where nothing bad can ever touch her. It is her kingdom there, her castle of protection.
Here she sits in the tall, green grass longing for days of fairy tales and wishing wells where nothing bad could find her. She wishes for days where she was a princess or a movie star. And where kissing like they do in the movies was so magical. She no longer dances in circles in the tall, green grass or sings at sold out shows. Now she hides in the tall, green grass hoping to escape the nightmares that follow. It is no longer her kingdom, but her castle in ruins.
Here she sits in the tall, green grass where the shadows have passed her and blue skies are in front of her. She no longer sits here alone but in the arms of her lover. Wrapped safely with him she remembers.. She is a princess one day and a star the next, in his eyes she is everything. She no longer dreams about the way they kiss in the movies but kisses like its her last. She now loves like her mommy did and longs for nothing. She has come to find that dancing in circles like she use to do, is so much more when it’s a dance for two. Here she is.. Back in her kingdom, her castle of protection. This little girl, once a princess is now a woman, forever a queen in the tall, green grass.
For my Sissy... Love you!

..simple.. the way i like it..
I have come to see that what life has to offer is so much more than the face value stride that we seem to take it for. “You live once!” A term that is used so often and usually the key reason for someone to justify why they did or are about to do something, the soul reason why anyone can find themselves sitting pretty like nothing went down.. Even though they know deep down inside.. They missed up.
Or .. You can find that sometimes remembering that you live once you discover the joys life has to offer. There is always something un-expected and something to be expected.. It is all in the eyes of the beholder.
By coming to grip, terms or just pure understanding that life is more than a party or a cute dress, that life is more than a silly boy or a hot chick, that life is more than what she said or what he said.. When you are finally able to get passed all of that, all of the things that mean nothing in the great big picture, you find that life is simple and simply beautiful.
It amazes me how much I have taken for granted every day.. I mean I wake up to a new day everyday, another chance to get it right or maybe another chance to learn something new. I walk outside and I walk out into this beautiful landscape painting that is right outside my own front door. All of these things just there, always there and waiting for me to notice them. So simple a pleasure and so simply beautiful, the wonders of this world all given to us by our father.. Heavenly Father.
How many of us have hit rock bottom, fell down, made the wrong choice when you clearly knew the right, said hurtful words, or had hurtful words said to us.. If we were to all get right down to it.. We all have been there and done that. It’s amazing that anyone of us still talk to ourselves let alone each other.
The point is, life is full circle, continuing no matter how bad something may seem and no matter how good something is. Life is much more than what the surface shows you. Life is what makes you giggle, life is what makes you whole, life is what makes you wonder or even understand. Life is the core center to finding who you are.. Life is a gift given to you and I from our father.. Heavenly Father.
This is all said with out forgetting that life is hard and there is hardship to be found. It is almost a promise that somewhere, some how and at any given moment you will fall and you will fall hard. There is no escaping that. Life has away of sneaking up on you when you think all is clear.. When you forget that life is on going and never stops.. When you forget that you aren’t the only person in this life… That is usually when life hands you your wake up call. Nothing is ever effortless and nothing is ever free.. But in life there is always help to be found and hope to be had. Again.. Life is full circle.
If you were to take a step back and look at life.. all of the wonders that it has to offer you. You would find that life has always been your Savior, Jesus Christ. He who has shared with you a gift, a chance to be, and hope to find. He has always been there. You see.. Life, our Savior he is full circle. He cares about you and carries you. He provided a chance and gave of forgiveness. This gift that our Heavenly Father gave and our Savior so selfishly provided, life is so much more than what we see.
If there is a gift, a dream, or a wish that I could share with you.. It would be for you to have that gift, to have the chance and to find that hope as you walk your path in life. I would pray that each of you may know the beauty that is you and see the light that you provide. I would ask that you be protected and sheltered from the harms of the world. And most of all I would hope that you would see life for what it really is.
Remember .. Life is too short and you only live once.
