Inspiring Words

February 23, 2015 · 1 Comment

Inspiring WordsGuys, I’ve been down in the dumps lately, and I’m not one to bring up negative things right off the bat, especially on a Monday. But I wouldn’t be honest, or truthful to my blog if I wasn’t real with you. I’ve had a lot on my mind recently, I mean, every possible thing in my life I’ve been analyzing and trying to find the light in. I’m a happy person by nature, but I haven’t been my usual happy-go-lucky, carefree Diana I’m known for. And that’s okay, I’m not ashamed to admit it, it’s not always rainbows and butterflies.

There are times in our lives when we go through hardships and sadness, in order to be guided towards our true path of happiness and contentment. We wouldn’t be human, or grow as a person without it. But I will say that meditation has been my greatest savor. I’ve dug deeper within myself, to childhood memories, discovering and understanding feelings that affect me today {all thanks to the amazing and inspirational Gabrielle Bernstein – seriously pick up one of her books or listen to one of her videos}.

I’ve had to make some pretty big decisions over the past few months, some of which I didn’t choose with my heart or intuition – chosen because I felt I had to, secretly to please others. I know you’ve been there too…these choices have seriously shaken me to my core. I’ve chosen against my intuition, and I know some of you may be saying, you can’t base responsible decisions on “your gut”, but why not? Why live with a decision, say for a job, day in and day out, when it’s making you miserable and less of yourself the more you become invested with it. I was honestly putting myself, and my true desires on the back burner, thinking that’s what I had to do, wondering why I was given all these big decisions to make one right after the other. I mean talk about opportunities just coming into your life all at once, and not ones you necessarily wanted either.

I was beginning to settle, and that scared me more than anything! It wasn’t until I saw this quote on Gabrielle Bernstein’s Facebook that my heart warmed. I felt encouraged that I knew what I was doing all along. I shouldn’t have to choose the supposed logical choice because that’s what is expected by everyone else, when all it does is make me, miserable. The choices that I have made from happiness, love, or a creative and curious interest to explore, have been some of the most rewarding, and ones I’ve learned so much from.

I’ve woken up each morning with this quote in site, and the notion that I deserve to make choices that make me happy, or some sort of joy that will lead me towards my passion. If I keep making choices that excite me or stem from happiness, then how can they not bring even more of that positive light into my life again?

It’s important to stay open to the Universe and the path it has for us, and that is my goal each and everyday. It’s funny, all I needed were these inspiring words to lift my spirits and feel more positive about my current situation, and sure enough another chance came knocking the other day. I know this is a heavy post for a Monday, but I really missed writing, and this is the first time in a while that the words just flowed naturally from me. Yes, I aim to fill The Dreamery with delicious recipes and pretty inspirational ideas, but I also hope to encourage and uplift you all. Have a happy week!

They say it’s plan a vacation day & I’m always They say it’s plan a vacation day & I’m always ready to make travel plans, especially after this weird snowless gloom of a January. Travel really is the best gift we can give ourselves if we’re lucky enough to & it really is one of my biggest sources of inspiration. 

Have you ever been somewhere whose design was more than just beautiful decor, but intentional details meant to inspire & evoke your every sense. The moment I was welcomed by the kind staff & entered my gorgeous room, I knew @areiasdoseixo was a special place. My September stay was a short one, but my amazing massage, the impeccable design & thoughtful details like the music that changed as the day flowed, delicious cookies I need to recreate & beautiful ocean views … it is a place I now cherish for the memories & inspiration that have left a mark on me. Next time I’m staying longer😉 

Have you been somewhere whose design/concept immensely inspired you? Well go daydream, it’s the end of the month & you deserve this wanderlust moment✨

Not one to be led by trends, but seems there’s a Not one to be led by trends, but seems there’s a little something we’re all looking forward to … Color! But there in lies the complex beauty of color. We connect & interpret it in so many personal ways — some of us are drawn to the beauty in the soft muted tones, while others it’s the bright rich hues. Each view & approach, a special way of embracing color✨🌿🌈And I am here for all it!
