withInspiration
A very dear friend of mine gave me this incredible handmade, hand-bound little journal over 6 months ago. I absolutely love it. It’s so magical, so special, that I’ve been waiting to write in it until I could add something as meaningful as the journal itself.
It finally hit me last night.
In this journal, I will write inspirational tidbits that come from within myself (withInspiration – get it? …sorry. Couldn’t help myself.) each time I put a pencil to these beautiful pages… This includes things I’d like to give attention to, things I’d like to shift, things I’d like to strive for… Self guidance for my current direction, needs, frustrations, distractions, ponderings…
Acknowledgements of all that is, for nothing more than what it is.
I write notes like this to myself all the time anyway. Now I have a meaningful repository for them!
I thought it would be fun to share these pages with you. I will post as often as I write in the journal, which will be whenever I feel the need to do so. …No expectations, just gonna flow with it.
Peace,

Did you know that you are inherently beautiful?
Searching, always searching.
What is it that
You seek?
You won’t soon find it here.
Eyes hungry for acceptance, always searching for
Someone
Who will satisfy your craving.
You long to fit in.
You need to feel loved.
Constant reaffirmation will never bring happiness
If you cannot first love yourself.
Your beauty is astounding.
You have so much to share with the world,
But because you have no love for yourself
You are not complete, not satisfied.
Find that love and
Free yourself.
Happiness is not some external force to be discovered.
This nourishment you crave is closer than you think.
Look inside.
Come to the realization that you are
An amazing
Human
Being
With something magnificent to offer.
Accept this as love and you can
Share it with others
Rather than stumbling upon disappointment
When others are not providing it for you.
Search no longer.
Love yourself and you will always
Have love.
A blurred truth comes into focus.
