Quotes

"It has been my philosophy of life that difficulties vanish when faced boldly."
- Isaac Asimov -

"I follow four dictates: face it, accept it, deal with it, then let it go."

- Sheng Yen -

These one sentence quotes are so simple and yet so impactful; great ideas and concepts are usually simple.

Whatever life brings you, be in the moment to really deal with it. If you find yourself facing difficulties, face it like Isaac says. Facing problems help you shed light on them and in return they lose power. And like Sheng says, once you deal with your situation, let it go. Don’t dwell on a problem.

In order to move forward, we have to stop looking back. If the past wants to rehearse itself in your mind, tell it… “Oh, hello….it’s you again, huh. I’m sorry but my mind is at capacity, I don’t have room for you, but have a nice day.”

Simply put…don’t entertain the negative. Focus on what you do want, and the bright future you have in front of you.

Yourself

I read something that really challenged me. It challenged me to reflect. My hope is to inspire you to think differently, see things differently than before; in an uplifting, spiritual, growth reflecting experience.

Do you sense that life is pushing you in a direction that is causing you to really know who you are, and what you are really made of?

There needs to an alignment with what is raw, what is real, what is true. We need to do exactly as it says in Hebrews 12:1: We are to “…strip off and throw aside every encumbrance (unnecessary weight)…”

What is weighing you down?
What needs to be stripped away?

The answers, the healing, the faith, the love that you seek is only found in one place: YOU.

You have everything you ever need to be successful, to overcome, to move forward, to heal, and to inspire. Stop looking outside yourself for approval. Everything you need, will find it’s was to your center. Question is: Are you able to sit long enough to connect to that center?

God keeps reminding me that HE is always with me. God is not far way. I feel it’s important to pass this along to you too. That center is where you need to rest in God.

Challenge yourself. Strip yourself.

Center yourself. Meet yourself.

Travels

If you’ve ever peeked at my profile, then you know that I live in the United States. Some of the most amazing National Parks are here in America. I was fortunate enough to spend my Easter at one our National treasures, Yosemite.

As I traveled the mountains, I couldn’t help but think of God. Nature is an amazing reflection of His work. The same God that created such magnificent beauty, is the same God that created you and me. I’m going to take you along my travels….with some of the pictures I personally took. Even though you may not have been with me that day, you can travel with me and enjoy God’s sculptures.

HAPPY EASTER

I wish ALL of you a HAPPY EASTER weekend!

Please enjoy this weekend. IT is a weekend full of love. God loves us so much. HE loves YOU so much. I suggest that if you are able to see a decorative cross with Jesus hanging on it, then take a few minutes to really look at that cross. Study the cross with your eyes. You don’t have to say a word, just look. Hopefully…something magical will happen.

With Easter eggs and jelly beans….have a happy and safe holiday!

Yours,

Elle

Good Friday

"Our real blessings often appear to us in the shape of pains, losses and disappointments, but let us have patience and we soon shall see them in their proper figures."
~ Joseph Addison

Happy Good Friday!

 Take moments throughout this whole Easter weekend to reflect on how much the Lord loves each and every one of us.
