smoke signals & bright colors.

my best friend informed me that my mr. forever is out there looking for me. and i feel awful for him… if you know me at all, you know i live like a granny. in bed by 9pm most nights and when i am out in the world, i am oblivious to most things around me.

in an effort to make my future mister’s life easier (let’s face it, he’s gonna have his hands full with me), i’ve pledged to wear brighter colors and send out smoke signals.

i hope he likes hot pink.

open heart: not always a bad thing.

this morning, i was paid a lovely compliment (by an even lovelier friend). something along the lines of: she’s inspired by how i’m so open (and continue to be) in situations where others may have shut down and closed off.

truth is: i’m not quite perfect. but i AM rather fabulous. and receiving positive reinforcement from someone you admire has a way of brightening your day. (a good workout and brisk mountain air never hurt either)

the irony of the situation is that she’s a factor in why i’m the way i am – it’s cyclical. we’ve had several eye-opening discussions about breaking old patterns. and i’m constantly working on being the best version of me i can be.

what i’ve learned is, there’s always a light on the horizon and as long as you keep an open heart (and mind), the universe will ‘grant’ your wishes. πŸ˜‰
