Back at Square One

So it’s been years. She’s accomplished  so much. Things that have surpassed even her biggest dreams.  She makes an excellent salary. She has healthy adorable kids and a great husband. Her home is big, beautiful and new. Her day begins with a prayer of gratitude and guidance....

Yet she’s missing something. Something essential to her well being, her peace, her fulfillment. She realizes it isn’t something you can see or touch. It’s something that has to be found within. She found it in the past but it’ gone missing.

It’s unfortunate because she searched for years to find it the first time. She remembers the relief she felt, the clarity, the contentment, and genuine joy. It came with unlimited confidence and purpose. No one could take it away....

But somehow in the midst of all her loud accomplishments, it quietly drifted away. She didn’t notice at first, but soon the evidence of its departure began to show....

So now she begins her journey to find all that she has lost and hopes to find new things too. Back at square one. She has everything she ever wanted, now she’s on the pursuit of everything she needs.

Wake Up

Be Inspired by your best you. The thought in your mind that reminds you, you're alive. The thought that gives you hope and makes you smile. The thought that keeps you moving even when you don't have a smile left. It'll be okay. Go to sleep and relax your soul, then slowly but surely wake up. 

I'm not starting over, I've come to far. But I will change courses. I'm not leading any more; I'm being led.... Order my steps God, please order my steps in your word. 

Love,
Nikki

Passionate Peace

It never ceases to amaze me. The intensity of my mind and the calmness of my soul. I am an ocean, a storm, a fire, and a cool breeze. I will always be this way, anticipating the next emotion like a gift... a gift I don't always want, but I rather have something than nothing at all. I am what happens when passion and peace collide. I am at peace with everything that I am, yet I passionately look forward to everything I will become.

Too Much

Don't think about it too much. Every present becomes a past and every thought isn't meant to last. Force a smile and wait awhile..... it'll eventually be effortless.

Love,
Nikki

Wishes

God is Good. His blessings rain down on me daily. His mercy humbles me, and all I can do is be thankful. My Wishes on the brightest star always ended with Amen

Life will become what we wish Pray it will be.

Love, 

Nikki

Un-Materialistic

Never get too attached to things. Things don't last and things can't love you back. It's the feelings and emotions involved with those things that you can hold on to; but hold on knowing that life intended for you to keep only what can be felt in your heart and mind, everything else drifts away.

Sincerely,

Nicole

Old Me

Dear Old Me,

Sometimes I Miss you, sometimes I don't. You were crazy, but full of life, optimism, and complexity. 

You're so different now, and still changing, but your heart remains the same. 

Love

Nicole 

Goodnight

Dream for a little while

But not too long

There's too much life to live

Before you're gone...

Future Good Memories

Memories are magical. The GOOD ones of course. The warmth and smiles you receive from them. First dates, laughs, parties, friends, trips and vacays. 

Time flys by so fast, so I'm trying to live each moment as if it's a future good memory.

Snow Days

I Love them. This last weekend stuck in the house with the loves of my life were some of the best days I've ever had. 

Thankful
