Your Canvas

Did you know?
You are an artist. We are all artists.

And this life we are living in, right here right now. That’s our canvas.

What we decide to do with that canvas is our choice.
It’s our choice to wake up each morning and paint something beautiful.

To see the beauty, the good, the extraordinarily ordinary moments… and embrace them until they become a vision on our canvas.

If you mess up, even better. Because life’s not meant to be perfect. And we all have a different way we want our canvas to look. It’s not about being perfect. It’s not about staying within the lines of “what looks good” or what’s “right.”

It’s about grabbing that paintbrush, closing your eyes and saying, okay God, work through me. What will you have me paint today? Then seeing what happens from there.

What happens when you let go of the control and give it up to a higher power?

A beautiful piece of art.

For new adventures, toes in the sand, meeting new people, sharing a smile, yoga every damn day, singing in the shower, loving unconditionally & sharing God’s love.

Be That Girl

Be that girl. The girl who turns what everyone else calls her pipe dreams into a beautiful reality. The girl who wakes up each morning and decides to be all she can be, without doubt, without fear, without hesitation. Be the girl who sees beauty in everything. Who shares her gifts, and light, and love with those around her. Who follows her dreams wherever they take her.

Be the girl who decided to go for it and don’t look back.

Shine A Little Brighter, My Darlings.

You are beautiful. Yes YOU! You have the power to be and do whatever it is God has put on your heart. Don’t let anyone tell you any different. Your light shines so bright that some people can’t even see it. Know it’s there. Use it.

Do what you can, with what you have, wherever you are. Give love, kindness and compassion to everyone you meet. Love yourself first. Have faith. And most importantly, be unconditionally happy.

You are unique and perfect in His eyes. Go show the world what you can do with the gifts you’ve been given! Right here. Right now.

To Bang or Not to Bang?

Okay Okay… I know what y’all were thinking… I now give you permission to get your heads out of the gutter :)

No but seriously, this seems to be the trending question in this year’s Hair and Fashion. Are bangs back in…? Not side bangs (those have been around for a while now), but the full force fringe bangs? I personally LOVE them. I like the way bangs can frame any girl’s face and make her look like an instant movie star:

I mean, if that isn’t movie star quality right there, I don’t know what is!
