“All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.”~Francis of Assisi

 Today I am grateful for light in all of it's incarnations.The light of a new day.

The light that illuminates what is already beautiful to new heights of gorgeousness

the light that stops us in our tracks and shows us things to make us smile

The light that gives us strength when the darkness looms larger

 The light that makes us catch our breath and see the world with new eyes

and the light which makes us recognise that not only is it all around us but emanates from within us too if we allow ourselves to see it.
Own your lightstand in your lightemanate that lightto everyone you meet so that they can own and share their owneach one of us passing the torchof an unextinguishable flame of love.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I t...

Thirty Day Gratitude Check in-Day 2
Tracy Verdugo, 21 Mar 07:30 PM

Good morning sunshines!!!I hope your world is looking shiny today and if it's not I hope this short post might help to shift your perspective just a little....(or a lot!)

But somewhere in there I started to feel unhappy and anxious about losing the momentum I had worked so hard to build up over the past 5 years. 
I began to doubt myself, to dwell on thoughts that didn't serve me, staying up later than I should, spending more time on social media than I needed to, drinking the extra glass of wine more often than I should, reflecting on the sad aspects...

“Hello, sun in my face. Hello you who made the morning and spread it over the fields...Watch, now, how I start the day in happiness, in kindness.” ― Mary Oliver

 Hello, hello my beautiful creative friends and seekers!! 
I've missed you! Have you missed me?It seems like eons since I used to check in regularly here and I've been feeling the call to recommit to this space, to our shared experience, to our community of curious wonderment.
Most of you know that last year was a big one for me, and that this year I am taking things a little easier, spending time taking more care of myself, so that I can continue to do the work I value so much in the world, taking care of the creative souls of those whose paths intertwine with mine.
For those of you who may have missed my 2016 adventures it was definitely a doozy and I am soooooo grateful to be back on the path to wellness. 
Here's a little recap to get you up to date!
I truly believe that there is no better way to walk through this world ...
