Take Me Home

Driving here to there
Looking in the distance toward the North,
Snow-capped mountains come into focus...
Ha...Not nearly as inherently captivating as the ones back HOME, but nonetheless, mountains,
A sigh of resonating feelings, a tear almost escapes.

I can't wait to go HOME!

Take me back to a place thats real.
Where breathe is present and the space is open.

I'm coming HOME!

Power of the People



“There are two basic motivating forces: fear and LOVE.  When we are afraid, we pull back from life.  When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance.  We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections.  If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create.  Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace LIFE.”              
-John Lennon

Some of my favortie mantras and quotes at the moment! Whenever you are feeling down, powerless, or just stuck in a rut- always remember that you  have the capability to control your reality! The Universe is not against you, once you are willing and open to listen and accept what it is sharing/telling/bringing you with open arms, you can move on and live with fluidity.  A mentor once told me, the same experience will repeat itself (in different forms) until you learn the lesson and are able to accept it from a place of love.  Once you accept it, even if it's not what you perceive as the best option, go with it and see where it leads you! You will be greatly suprised in how your journey unfolds!

I leave YOU with this!!

I came across this written piece of uncanny Inspiration.  Although lengthy (to some) TAKE TIME to read and enjoy!!! Hopefully it influences the starting of a new week by bringing a smile to your face and a new tune to skip to!

With LOVE,

YOU are beautiful, magical, a dream come ALIVE, pure energy, wonderful and so so unique!
You are absolutely THE ONE!
Look within where ALL the answers are. You know yourself better than anyone! Remember how you felt as a child? How you played and imagined and dreamed?! How things seemed like a fun adventure always?! Things were always unfolding and how anything was possible! You are still that child! Life does not have to be so serious! It can ALL be a JOYOUS expansive and unfolding experience every single day!
Each day can be just as FULL as the other and every day gets BETTER and BETTER! More things unfold!
DEEP down you already know this…
You really can do anything!            
You really can be whoever you want to be!
You really can have anything you want! And you should!
What do you want? It may feel like you’ve just been released from prison when you find out that ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING is available to you! There is no limit! You are the only one who says what you can have and what not! There are all these things you can do, once you know this, and it is up to you get to choose! What a fun game! You choose by deciding what feels good to you. Do only what makes you feel good and ALIVE and true! You know yourself, you trust yourself, you are your own best friend! When you look in the mirror you see a dear friend to love and nourish your ways. A friend to tell you everything is OK! Because everything really is ok! And all is well! ALWAYS!
In the end there is only LIGHT!!! The negative thoughts or feelings you feel ARE NOT YOU!!! You know who you are! Yes you absolutely do! Negativity, stress, limited thoughts or doubt or anything that does not make you feel good is NOT YOU! And you know it’s not you because it just doesn’t feel good!!! And why would you want to feel bad?! You don’t and you also know this! You come from lightness and will return to it. All your dreams WILL COME TRUE! You really will have that relationship you are imagining and dreaming of! Family life will be RICH! Love is all around, people are waking up, becoming ALIVE, people are accepting their own power and embracing their uniqueness!
This is the NEW EARTH! Welcome! Welcome to a place where anything is possible, you get to do what you truly want to do, what you have dreamt of doing comes true and you are ALIVE and full in absolutely every moment and every experience is FUFILLING and just feels so good, every interaction with other humans is FULL and amazing.
Now it’s up to you, what do you want to do? And there are many many things you can do! And once you’ve done that you’ll want to do something else and you’ll keep going on to have many amazing experiences that you have created! And it gets better and better for everyone!

Imagine walking down the street and seeing FULL and ALIVE people EVERYWHERE you go! People smiling, laughing, enjoying, creating, embracing life and themselves, thumbs up and peace signs! Things will work out for everyone. Life on earth will feel very very different. At first it may seem unusual to be able to do, be and have whatever it is you truly want and choose. But you will get used to it. It will become normal to you. Just as normal as learning the school system for many years, you will become so familiar with this new way of being and this joyous experience will become SO NORMAL TO YOU! Everything feels in alignment and there is no worries and absolutely no stress for you will see how unnecessary it is to stress about anything! Eventually you will feel so good that is will feel so weird to you to feel bad!
Feel more and think less!!!! You could think for infinity on this message and how it could be possible and eventually you may come up with some mathematical and practical calculation where this kind of possibility does exist… but thinking is not necessary! You can feel it! Feel your life that way you want it! Just keep feeling good and it is a promise that MORE FEELING GOOD things and experiences will come.
When the negativity is there just acknowledge its not you, it is actually separate from you! And when you can see it as separate you will feel a MASSIVE clearing, a space, a feeling of lightness, like the negativity really is not necessary and no longer serves you a purpose as you can see clearly who it is you are and what you truly want!
It really is time, there is no need to wait any longer! Your life can take a massive turn right now. Stand in the light, imagine yourself a clear beam of light energy. Send the negativity on it’s way, thank it for sharing and how grateful you are for it because it made it so clear to you that who you are is not that! Negativity reminds you of who you are. So every time it arises know that as soon as you send it on its way what is left is a blissful experience waiting for you! And the negativity will become less and less!
This is wonderful, incredible, amazing, mystical, WOW!!! Enjoy this time space reality! There is plenty of it to do ALL that you want to do and complete your mission and purpose for being here!
You know who you are! You know how powerful you are and can be! YOU ARE THE ONE!!!
Everyone is so grateful that you are here, because without you it would not be complete! Everyone is equal and is just as special, amazing and unique and the LOVE AND LIGHT is all around everywhere! It is especially obvious in the sunrise of each day!
With love, peace and light always

Inspire...Influence...Infuse...

These are a few pics I keep around to look at when I've reached a mild discontinuance of fashion savviness.  From full outfits to petite details. I veiw them all to be impeccable and foolproof to mimic.  Each paradisiacal in it's own right.

What To Do

Excitement. Confusion. Freedom. Overwhelming.

Feelings that come with nearing the end.  Finishing school in 3weeks and 2 days has its perks with a side of the great unkown. 

As of right now, all I want to do is be done! Take a much needed exteeeended vacation, letting go and becoming free from always looking at the clock and organizing what seems to be every move I make in order to frame my days.  School...Work...Traffic...Homework! I want you gone for quite some time.

To stop living out of bags and be able to ground myself in 1 place instead of splitting my weeks between 2.
Being able to be present, sitting, smiling, laughing and relaxing with my love- sweet jams playing in the background-drinks in hand
Lets embrace the great outdoors and escape the concrete jungle- somewhere tropical with a mellow ambiance, finished off with a week at the mountains.  Secluded in a cabin with nothing more, but snowboards, books and beer.

The LIFE....Hope this manifests into truth!!!

BLACK to the WHITE

Before I turn into the weekend warrior, moving furniture and painting the bedroom (finally!!), I wanted to share a few of my favorite black and white pics.  I know that I will be wanting a cocktail, once done with my first day of painting!  I will post the finished project as soon as possible-hoping to be done before venturing back to LA la land.

Have a fabulous weekend friends!
With LOVE,
Kristen
