To those of you who are having some difficulties, or are in emotional or physical pain, or perhaps on the mend but are just needing a friend .... PLEASE know that I always keep you in my heart and that all of us here CARE and love you. You are not alone. We gift each other with our loving presence in the way that we can in this life. Our thoughts and prayers ripple into the universe to the one and ones intended for. It is such a beautiful thing.
And sometimes we just need to be quiet and sometimes we just need to be loud. Sometimes we just need to fill our minds with what we see and then our hearts fill accordingly. The imagery in our life is so important. I know that it helps me - what I choose to focus on and seek. Whether it be family, friends, nature, or all the little things that I love in my home, I have to focus on what makes my spirit happy or at peace. It is not that we should shield ourselves from the harsh realities of life and live in a cloud but we have to really try to balance the bad and seek the good, whatever that may be for us, as much as we possibly can.
We have to keep finding the light that lifts. Does that make sense? Whether it be our child's face; our dog's eyes; our garden's rose; our love's embrace; our friend's voice - whatever lifts us we must seek.
For when found in that moment we were infinite.
And we are in this together.
Kim
Amen and Amen. Prayers that this blog continues to spread light and peace to all who visit. This space we make for beauty is sacred.

Hi Kim!
Thanks for your encouraging words of hope, the beautiful images, and soothing music. I needed to be reminded of all you said. You are such a beautiful woman inside and out. Thank you for sharing yourself with the world, because you bless others.
Lots of love from Texas!

Kim,
You always know what to say and what imagery to share, both are uplifting. You have such a special gift, thank you for sharing.
I was recently speaking with a friend who is going through a hard time and we both agreed that we seldom know what burdens others carry and assume we are the only one. We aren't. Thank you for all you do.

I love this Kim, after almost losing my son this past January and he was in the hospital for three months continuously, I have such a new appreciation for the little things and FAMILY. Hope you continue to do what you do for a very long time, your pictures and words are awe inspiring. Thank you!

Kim, I lost my oldest son in November 2015. I am on a journey now, as you said, to keep finding the light that lifts. My only child returned home today from Brazil. He was there for the company he works for here. So, you see, God gifts me with his presence. And,yes, it too is a beautiful thing. Thank you...well... just thank-you. You are a dear person. ...Jenny.....

There are no words to express how sorry I am for the loss of your precious precious son. I cannot imagine what you have gone through and are going through. I am so very sorry. May you find the light in life as you journey onward that is meant to be for you from above always and forever. May it lift your soul and bring you loving peace. You and your family will always be in my heart and prayers. God Bless you all.
I love you,
Kim
