Some Musings, A Quote, and A Thought on God
I have been thinking a lot about how we show up for each other in this world.
How I show up for others.
How others show up for me.
I have been thinking a lot about entrepreneurship and marketing and the word phenomenon.
That Taylor Swift is a genius.
About that “thing” that makes every brand in the world want to catch a bit of her magic and draft off of her announcements.
I have been thinking a lot about love and how two people show up for each other…love each other well.
I think it is preposterous too, but Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are delivering a MasterClass on how to publicly show up for someone you love.
How to champion each other.
I have been thinking a lot about what it looks like to stand up for what you believe in even in the face of bullies or just people who are absolute narcissists.
How people get in our heads.
How their ick slowly permeates the cells of our bodies.
I have been thinking a lot about excess.
Why do I have so many bathroom products? I am but one girl.
Speaking of which, how does one girl generate so much trash every week?
I have been letting hours at a time slip by as I watch the nature outside of my windows - hummingbirds, butterflies, dragonflies, birds, and the deer.
When did I become this person?
What is nature teaching me - or trying to?
I have been thinking a lot about time.
How fast it passes - overall.
How slow it passes - when you are waiting for something/someone.
I have been thinking a lot about the next generation.
What am I passing onto them?
How are they changing me?
I have been thinking a lot about my parents, my childhood, the good times, and wondering about how a life of ‘play’ shifted so quickly to one of survival in my young heart.
Baby dolls and play kitchens to real babies and real kitchens.
Days immersed in my imagination to ones where I was a CIA operative trying to ascertain the moods and lay of the land (aka landmines) in my own home.
I have been thinking a lot about ‘Once upon a time…,’ story, the art of storytelling - and the gift of it.
How the way we view our role in our own life dictates so much of how we end up living out our life.
Questioning why it is so difficult to choose ourselves and our own happiness sometimes.
I have been thinking a lot about soulmates.
What great love looks and feels like.
The examples of it I have been witness to through friends and family…and yes, even observing strangers.
I have been thinking about beauty and nature and the creativity of God.
What that gives us.
How it changes us.
I have been thinking a lot about my own scorecard.
Am I living my life well?
Where can I do better, be better?

There is this great quote I love…
I think these words can be true if changed to…
“…to see ourselves…”
Life, our one life, is a great adventure. We get one ticket for one ride. Be courageous in how you spend it. Do your best every day. Love without reservation.
Live. Live. Live.

Just some musings about some observations I have had lately, and on this beautiful morning as I watch the sunlight dance on the trees in the woods outside my bedroom window. The softness of the morning light is intoxicating and the reason why I will always be a girl who prioritizes a ‘slow roll’ morning that constitutes waking before the sun rises, strong coffee, a comfy place to sit with a view of nature (inside or outside), and a blanket to snuggle under. Sunrises were designed by a creative God who wanted us to feel the day come to life. And yes, I believe sunrises (and sunsets for that matter) are meant to be felt as much as seen.
…and that is very much enough of my musings on what God wanted for us when he created the world. *inserts nervous laughter*
Love,
Heather
