“Another woman’s beauty is not the absence of your own”
Dont judge a book by its cover is my favourite and certainly true
Live – Dream – Believe
LOVE & LIGHT
My Nanna used to sign all her letters & cards to us with ‘K.O.S’ which stands for Keep On Smiling! So for that I smile as it’s now something my Mum does for my daughter as her Mum did for us (does that even make sense lol).
anything is possible

What would McGyuver do? Never fails to remind do me that anything is possible, to enjoy the small things and to dream big.
Namaste
Give yourself permission to be the person you came here to be.
Dreams do come true,never give up on them♥️
A wise old owl sat in a hollow oak
The more he heard the less he spoke
The less he spoke the more he heard
I wish more folk were like that bird
Love is the answer <3
“Just when the caterpillar thought that the world was over, it became a butterfly”. After being in darkness for a decade with ptsd, depression and anxiety, I saw these words on a little wooden plaque in a gift shop doing Christmas shopping last year….now I cannot imagine my life without them. The plaque now sits next to my bed so I see it each night before I go to sleep and when I wake up in the morning and it gave me the inspiration & motivation to finally reach out for help. We absolutely cannot underestimate the power of words! <3
Only love today… i have it as an alarm on my phone to remind me each morning x
Everyone has a path , we’re all just walking each other home xxx
I wish I could should you, when you are alone or in the darkness, the astonishing light of your own being – Hafiz.
The message of this quote has given me a lot of strength and self belief over the years. It’s my absoloute favourite. I have lots of quotes saved by Rumi too, who writes beautiful things about the power and beauty of women.
“A wise woman wishes to be no one’s enemy; a wise woman refuses to be anyone’s victim.”
~Maya Angelou~
Live love,laugh
You don’t have to be perfect to be amazing 🙂
Music in the soul can be heard by the Universe.
-Lao Tzu-
I (we) are enough – a reminder that I (we) are unique, beautiful beings who are part of this wondrous universe and we can make a difference. On the tail of that – smile, share the love – smiles are contagious and a smile can change a person’s day
Take life day by day and be grateful for the little things.
Don’t get stressed over what you can’t control
Be kind always, we never know what is going on in someone’s life
Never stop dreaming – I have that on my cell phone covefr
Your heart knows the way.
Run in that direction.
‘Happiness isn’t a destination, it is a way of life’
Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
One of my favourite words is Serendipity….happy accidents that can lead to amazing things, people, friends and destinations.
This too shall pass.
Fate gives all of us three teachers, three friends, three enemies, and three great loves in our lives. But these twelve are always disguised, and we can never know which one is which until we’ve loved them, left them, or fought them.
I love this quote from my favourite book ‘Shantaram’
She believed she could, so she did.
Hi ★ at the moment its “This to shall pass”
Live, love, laugh
Don’t let the clouds of the past shade tomorrow’s sun.
Share your smile
Ok I know this is super corny – but right now it is “Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow” – Fleetwood mac song lol <3 xx
– I'm going through some stuff right now <3
its time to remember who you really are, not who there have told you to be. You are a powerful infinite being, stand in your power confidently.
“Stay true”
Start each day with a grateful heart ❤️
Find joy in every journey
A smile doesn’t cost a thing 🙂
Love and Beloved
Even after all this time, the Sun never says to the Earth, “You owe me.” Look what happens with a love like that, it lights the whole sky. – Hafiz
Be the change you want to see in the world 🙂
Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass but learning to dance in the rain
Whenever I worry what other people might think or about what someone has said about me I just remember this quote is heard on national radio…”Normal is just a setting on your washing machine.”
I say this to my kids all the time too as a reminder not to judge.
‘You are enough”
Seize the day
Life loves you. Be kind always.
When things turn to custard I channel the penguins from the Madagascar movies “smile and wave”
It always gets a smile when I tell friends or workmates to “smile and wave.”
Shoot for the moon, even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars
Love is a safe place for your soul
The way of peace is to become oneself
If u got nothing nice to say then dont say nothing
Until you spread your wings, you’ll have no idea how far you can fly.
<3
I have two favs “Enjoy the little things in life, because one day you will look back and, realise they were the big things.”
“A negative mind will never give you a positive life”
‘Why fit in when you were born to stand out.’ – Dr Seuss
Love yourself before loving others .
Think positive thoughts and always try and see the positive in every situation
I stumled upon this quote on instagram & its stuck with me ever since. Such truth & wisom
We are stars wrapped in skin-the light you seek has always been within
♡♡♡
“Love Many Trust Few Always Paddle your own Canoe”
Gratitude is everything
We were born with the ability to chance someone else’s life…Don’t ever waste it!
You can’t start the next chapter of your life if you keep rereading the last one.
I honor the light love truth beauty and peace within you, because it is also within me.
The best thing you can ever do is to believe in yourself.
Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass…it’s about learning how to dance in the rain!
Smile, and the world smiles with you 🙂
What would attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?
