Live Deep
Never stop learning, playing,
or finding wonder in the world around you.
Live the length of your life,
but live the depth of it as well.
Travel Light
There is no use in carrying around
worry and regret.
They only weigh you down.
Always keep yourself open
to hope and to love.
They give us wings.
Forgive imperfections
in yourself and in others.
Imperfections keep things interesting.
They're the cracks
where the light shines through.
Own beautiful things
And not just to keep in the drawer,
tucked away for a perfect day.
Surround yourself with things
that make you happy,
that remind you of the beauty all around us
if we only keep our eyes open to it.
Make mistakes
Follow detours. Sometimes it takes an unexpected turn
to help us find the life
that is waiting for us around the bend.
Trust yourself and the path
that is meant for you.
Take care of yourself
And sometimes that means
you need the ice cream
Be good to your body,
but also to your mind and spirit.
You're the only one who can.
And always, always know you are loved
You are are gift to this world
and a blessing to me.
And that will never change.
