Affirmations & a little gift for you...
Hello there my sweet friends,
As you may know, every year I write Affirmations for myself. I use them to guide me in the year ahead. They have changed over the years, but I usually have one or two that carry over from year to year. "I trust my intuition" is one of them. I have always wanted to unconditionally trust this mysterious inner voice, but sometimes my "thinking mind" gets in the way. It is a practice of listening. When I do, the more confident I feel. I think it's the difference between choosing whether you will be led by your head or by your heart. Our thoughts often place themselves in the drivers seat, yet I believe it's our hearts that hold the joy and wonder of this life and make us feel most alive.I recently came across a short, sweet little video about Audrey Hepburn's remarkable life. I learned things about her that I didn't know before and now love her even more! At the end of the video they share a quote by her that I have always loved,
"Nothing is impossible, the word itself says I'm possible."
Don't you just feel something when you read this? Doesn't it make you question what you believe is possible for yourself? There is so much to do and see and feel and experience in this life don't you think?
Take a moment and allow yourself to dream a bit. What do you believe is possible for yourself? What are your self-limiting beliefs? How can you can shift them? I so deeply believe in the power our thoughts have and the freedom that can come when we allow our most beautiful, true, thoughts flow through us.Those are the thoughts that honor our lives.I thought I would share some of my favorite Affirmations with you in case you wanted to give affirmations a whirl.

As you read them, see if there are any that speak to your heart ~ you will know when they do. :)
Trust them.
Sending you soft, paper white bulbs planted in teacups on a windowsill, anxiously awaiting the sun to upon them...
Cheery Smiles & love your way always!Laura :)
