Emerson once said, that “”every wall is a door.” It could not be more true for this gem I noticed tucked in a wall at Bishops Palace in Wells when I visited back in April. Here’s to finding inspiration everywhere.

7 for SEVEN
Hellooo Loves! I came across this quote on a friend’s wall today, “I am thankful for all the dreams I don’t have to close my eyes to see anymore.” And it really changed the course of my Monday.
It’s been reverberating in my head all day…because I get so caught up sometimes on where I am headed and doing the things I need to do now to get there, that I forget that this present moment was once a dream.
This present moment…was once a dream. And that thought, my dear friends, put this week’s 7 for Seven in a whole new context.
This present moment…and all the moments that lead me to this point. Too often, I forget about the times I prayed, hoped and worked hard for something…forgetting that where I am right now is a result of many dreams – big and small – coming true. I am grateful to be living my dreams.
Which brings me to, having bigger dreams. Because I was created to live the best life I could.
Second (third, fourth, fifth) chances…or as many as it takes. Because we all need them.
Finally doing laundry. The pile was starting to look at me accusingly.
Season 3 of OITNB. Yep. I binge watched the entire season Friday night into Saturday. It was the best.brain.cooler.everrrr. And then GOT completely destroyed that cool on Sunday…but that’s another story for another time.
Finishing strong. Completed my final exams last week…and the last exam was a pretty good one. I am savouring this little respite, because the next phase is right around the corner.
Videos that melt my heart.

And there you have it folks, I hope that by paying attention to the little things, the every day details that make up all the blessings in my life and by sowing the seeds of faith and gratitude, I can truly carry with me and reap the rewards of “positivity + balance + bliss” throughout the days ahead.
Thank you for reading, I appreciate you! This is me blowing some glitter and confetti on you because you’re super blessed to have received the gift of another 86,400 seconds today, to spend any way you desire.
Make those seconds count!
I love hearing from you…what are you grateful today? What made you smile? Feel free to share below!

All Grown Up
When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)?
I remember it clearly.
It was a Tuesday back in June 2010.
My mother, sister and I were returning from what would be one of the last visits to my mother’s Doctor. I was sitting on the back seat of the car, mummy directly in front of me. Trudy was driving.
I was trying my best to keep the tears at bay. But I simply couldn’t.
My mother said, “It’s bad isn’t it?”
And I said… “Yes. But we will get thru it.”
I could have chosen many milestones throughout my “adulthood” but despite age and the decisions I had to make over the years, the decision I made that day was the most adult thing I have ever done.
I was going to be strong for my mother, so she could be strong enough to let go when the time came.
My mother was my first love. It is from her I first learned what unconditional love really meant. Loving someone enough to let them go is hard…letting go of my mother…
Damn.
I still cannot even begin to describe what that took.
