Dogs have given us their absolute all. We are the center of their universe. We are the focus of their love and faith and trust. They serve us in return for scraps. It is without a doubt the best deal man has ever made. | Roger Caras

Maya and Ava

When you recognize that you will thrive not in spite of your losses and sorrows, but because of them, that you would not have chosen the things that happened on your life, but you are grateful for them, that you will hold the empty bowls eternally in your hands, but you also have the capacity to fill them? The word for that is healing. | Cheryl Strayed



I would rather take chances than always wonder “what if”... #AdventureAndAwareness

Keep close to Nature’s heart... and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean. | John Muir

Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don’t belong.



Travel far enough, you meet yourself. | David Mitchell








We travel, not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.





I no longer force things. What flows, flows. What crashes, crashes. I only have space and energy for things that are meant for me. | Unknown




Anyone else missing the sunshine and vitamin d?



Home is not a place, but a heartbeat (or two).



“The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe, to match your nature with Nature.” - Joseph Campbell



We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children. | Native American



Nature always wears the colors of the spirit. | Ralph Waldo Emerson




Don’t resist chances. Take them like vitamins. | @christinehassler




She’s an explorer, unafraid to travel within her heart and mind, ready to discover new spaces to heal — releasing burdens and planting wisdom wherever her awareness takes her. | @yung_pueblo




She had a wild, wandering soul but when she loved, she loved with chaos and that made all the difference. | @arianapoetess








You are my blue crayon, the one I never have enough of, the one I use to color my sky. | @a.r.asher #AdventureAndAwareness

My greatest fear is to one day go on living without you by my side. Until that day comes, I'll do whatever it takes to make sure that you get to see the sun rise and set as many times as time affords us. I hope that you know you are my sun with a light so bright; without you, the sun is set

If you want to know where your heart is, look where your mind goes when it wanders.

Everything changes when you start to emit your own frequency rather than absorbing the frequencies around you. When you start imprinting your intent on the universe rather than receiving an imprint from existence. | Barbara Marciniak

Need a good dose of Vitamin Sea.

Sometimes the people with the greatest potential often take the longest to find their path because their sensitivity is a double edged sword - it lives at the heart of the brilliance, but it also makes them more susceptible to life’s pains. Good thing we aren’t being penalized for handing in our purpose late. The soul doesn’t know a thing about deadlines. | Jeff Brown #AdventureAndAwareness

Wolves and women have much in common. Both share a wild spirit. Women and wolves are instinctual creatures, able to sense the unseen. They are loyal, protective of their packs and of their pups. They are wild and beautiful. Both have been hunted and captured. Even in captivity, one can see on the eyes of a woman, or a wolf, the longing to run free, and the determination that should the opportunity arise, whoosh, they will be gone... | Clarissa Pinkola Estés

Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared. | Buddha




“It is just like dust gathers on the mirror; every day you have to clean it. On the mirror of your mind dust gathers, dust of experience: it becomes knowledge. Clean it. That’s why every day meditation is needed. Meditation is nothing but cleaning the mirror of your mind. Clean it continuously! If you can clean it every moment of your life, then there is no need to sit separately for meditation.” - Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh

Life takes you to unexpected places. Love brings you back home.

Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. It matters that you don’t just give up. | Stephen Hawking‬

The best view comes after the hardest climb.

Life is meant for spectacular adventures. Let your feet wander, your eyes marvel, and your soul ignite.

Sometimes closure arrives years later. Long after you stopped searching for it. You’re just sitting there, laughing this laugh that is unapologetically yours. As it trails off, the corners of your mouth hug your face and it hits you, “I’m happy”. It’s just like that. With no fanfare or epiphany. Suddenly, you are grateful for goodbyes that carried you to this moment; to the space you are holding. | Unknown

Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity. | Simone Weil

Whoever said that diamonds are a girls best friend never owned a dog. Call yourself lucky if you find a rock so resilient that loves you back unconditionally. I feel blessed to have two.
