“Life is Amazing. And then it’s awful. And then it’s amazing again. And in between the amazing and the awful its ordinary and mundane and routine. Breathe in the amazing, hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary. That’s just living, soul-healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life. And it’s breathtakingly beautiful.”
Life is a gift. But that doesn’t mean it always easy. There are ups and downs and in-betweens. Sometimes life feels amazing..its flowing the way we want it to, everything seems to be working out. And that’s Amazing. Then at some point it shifts. Maybe things are not going the way we would like or had envisioned. Maybe we are suffering from a loss. Perhaps we aren’t feeling healthy. And it can seem awful. There are so many circumstances that change throughout life. So when things are great..enjoy it, breathe it all in. It will change. That’s the nature of life. When things get rough, know that will shift too. Can we accept that it’s ALL part of this experience we call life, and embrace it and let it flow? Life can feel Fantastic, bizarre, fun, joyful, sad, heartbreaking, Magical, scary, Awesome, eh, Amazing, Awful and the list goes on. And…it ALL contributes to making life Breathtakingly Beautiful.

Those “awful” moments are opportunities to grow. If you allow yourself to be open to the lessons that are being taught during those challenging times rather than just getting through it, you can learn so much about yourself. I’ve been trying not to rush myself through the hard times, trying not to look past them to the next “amazing time”, but really using them to reflect on what I need to learn in this lifetime. Sending you so much love, Tara!
