thoughts from here (november 25)

this day (november 25) from liz lamoreux on Vimeo.

a few thoughts on this snowy, cold still in my pajamas at 1 PM thanksgiving day.

(and yes, i did decide to leave that little outtake in from the beginning of the video. me laughing at myself makes me laugh each time...and those of you who know me will laugh along with me i think.)

sending you and yours blessings and light on this day...

xoxoxo,

there are things i want you to remember {5}

the view from here

ocean bound

so i fly (new in the shop)

new earrings in the shop

The So I Fly earring series is inspired by one of my most popular Soul Mantra phrases. The idea behind the phrase:

When life pushes me beyond what I know
When the joy fills me up 
When the fear tries to settle in
When I am holding on to hope with each breath
When all this and more leads me to feel unsure of the next step,
sometimes I step outside, feel the warm sun upon my shoulders, look up at the blue sky, and make one decision: 

I fly.

The earrings in this series are all adorned with birds or other winged creatures. I see them as a daily reminder that you can feel your wings and you can breathe deeply and you make the choice to fly when it serves you.

Thank you so much for your continued support of my shop. It makes my heart so happy to send into the world these little packages filled with reminders to live with your heart wide open.

Blessings and light,
Liz 

this girl, she...

this girl, she struggles with holding it all up. (most days, she feels invited to hold it (all of it) together.) she feels invited to hold it all together when most days she is just trying to hold onto the pieces of her heart. 

this girl, she tries to hold her heart together, but as she goes about all that she must do, she wonders. 

she wonders what it might be like to let go. she wonders what it might be like to let go and loosen the grip on what is supposed to be. to loosen her insistent hold on what was supposed to be. to let go of the holding it all (holding her heart) together.

today, this girl, she takes a breath and walks outside. she walks outside and holds her heart and seeks.

she turns her face toward the sun with her cracked open in pieces but holding on heart inside her, and she stands in the light.

she stands in her light, and she listens.

this girl, she stands in the quiet just long enough to hear her own truth whispering inside her.

she and me

i am stepping into this new me who is a mother.
me.
a mother.
i am wrapping my brain around this path that is my path.
(this path i wasn't sure i would ever walk.) 
this path i will forever walk with her.
i am seeking a new rhythm for this life as we find our way.

(and, i must admit, i love this photo so much i can feel my heart expanding each time i look at it.)

in this moment...

in this moment, give yourself the gift of one deep breath.

(and perhaps, if you have time, another and another and another and one more.)
