Playing around with a new illustration style!!!

A lot of times, inspiration comes in the form of a roadblock.

There will always be a point of frustration that you will often times encounter and, it is in those moments when you just can’t see 5 feet in front of you, that you need to let go.

Sometimes an unexpected thing happens. For instance, you get an email from one person – which reminds you to call a totally different person.  You run late to a meeting and drop your coffee all over the floor only to look down and see a flyer hosting the most perfect event that you just are fated to attend.

A call from a friend, an unexpected encounter, a walk in the park, taking a new route to your destination for whatever reason, getting fired and breaking up with your boyfriend on the same day. These are all some sort of divine intervention.  It’s a big red flag urging you to change course when you are at a roadblock, at a time when you can’t see the steps to take.  These are the little things in life that we can sometimes miss if we aren’t paying attention, so pay attention and go with the flow. Trust.

Whatever it takes to see something differently, whatever it is – it is a miracle.

Stop and smell the coffee.  Take a whiff of those gorgeous roses / peonies.

The path less traveled is the one with roadblocks but you just have to look down in the brushes and deep inside of you for clues of where to head next.

Take it one step at a time.

Trust in your heart, and above all trust your gut and intuition.

You know when you need a break, to rethink something – or to call a friend. ^Succumb to the chaos that is the unknown and let life surprise you a bit.  You won’t be disappointed.

Have faith.

I am my own worst critic and there are so many things that I need to practice more of what I preach, but I am learning.  I am on this blog every week to experience and dig deeper into what inspires me, into what inspiration is, and to how it can be used to accomplish great things in your life, and everyone’s life that reads this.

This is crucial to explore your own progress, to chart your journey so that others who follow can have a trailblazer like you to follow.

Following your heart and intuition is the biggest gift we each as individuals can give the world.

What is your heart telling you to do?  Listen, trust and allow.  Only in hindsight can you see that you were then and are now being guided.

Marinate on that.

As always,

Hope that inspires you (To live your dreams and to live the best life you can live because you deserve it!!!)
