Once in a while you can get shown the light….

…. in the strangest of places if you look at it right.  That’s how the song goes. It came to mind today after a whirlwind of life changing events occurred in a matter of minutes.  The day started off fantastic with some serious life goals being accomplished and then out of the blue things turned 360 and the life of a loved one had been lost forever.  After all the hectic madness that comes with a day like today, for a brief moment, I was shown the light in the strangest of places (being the dark, sad state of mind) and thankfully I was able to look at it right,  Two beautiful woodpeckers frolicking as the thunder storm rolled in.  I watched this pair, who are mates for life, and was reminded of how important family is and how we must stop to appreciate them more often.

The moral of this story if there is one… Life is short. #LiveItAndLoveIt  Remember your roots and tell your family you love them <3 DSC_8825

We had the opportunity to see this baby bird fly the coop! He took a break on the lawn mower before really catching some air. #LooksLikeAnAngryBird

Finding Love in Life <3

I have waited over a month to share this picture with you on Valentines Day.  Finding symbols of love in everyday life are what I consider to be special moments.  I was out in the woods walking along when I notice, among the brown/grey colors of winter, this beautiful heart-shaped leaf so vivid, bright and beautiful.  I noticed the thorny vine from which this symbol of love was growing and thought of how this simple image was representative of life and love.  In life we are blessed with the great beauty of love however for us to appreciate it, we sometimes must endure the hurtful pain of the thorns on the side.

Knowing love is a special gift.  It’s hard to imagine life without it.  Whether it be in your work, your family, your friends, your pet, your lover, or what ever passion you have in life, may you have love, known love, or give love today and every day.

Happy Valentines Day!

With a heart full of LOVE,
