Live in Wonder ⭐
Each sunrise brings a day filled with possibilities in a world filled with infinite beauty. ✨ | Whimsy Wonderings (4/9)
Greetings lovelies 👋
Is it just me, or did this week fly by incredibly fast? I will say that whenever I do a lot of laptop work, like editing and writing, my perspective of time flies out of the window faster than I can blink.
It’s in moments like this where the reminders that I tucked in this musing are more important than ever. Because in the busyness of life it’s not difficult to overlook what’s already there, until it becomes a wish to experience.
Therefore, I’d love to share with you this musing I wrote for myself to always find a sliver of light, a thread of beauty in my days. I hope it encourages you to find ways to live in wonder as well.
Much love,
TJ xx
Ps. This is the first time I’m adding an audio! I also recorded it in one go, because I didn’t want to overthink it for one second. haha. 🎶
Ahh you will hear my voice for the first time *flails* If you listened to the audio, first of all, thank you!
Secondly, it’s not a word by word recitation as I tend to ramble a bit, haha.
Thirdly, I mentioned one of my wonderful friends, Melissa from
~ I do have her to thank for adding a little fire beneath my wish to start with voice notes and to just go for it instead of waiting till I have the perfect series to share. 🥰
Hello, lovely reader! I’m TJ, an artist and storyteller and on here, you will find gentle reflections & musings on life, self love, healing and the magic of mundane wonders. Aka the stories that I collected as I pivoted my life around by choosing to follow my creative dreams. Make yourself cozy, have a read and I hope you the words will bring a dash of wonder and magic into your day.
Note to self:
Live in Wonder.
With each sunrise, we’re gifted a day filled with possibilities in a world filled with infinite beauty. We have a fiery Sun and a delicate Moon. Sparkly stars that illuminate the sky. Flowers and trees that provide wondrous decorations. The flowing water and the grounding earth. The birds that provide a delightful soundtrack and an orchestra of colors that paint the skies as we begin and end our days.
Be passionately curious and treat your journey through life as a quest, a wondrous adventure. Really listen to the chatter and songs Mother Earth plays for us and let your imagination roam delightfully free. Fill your heart with an abundance of love and laughter and your mind with curiosities and wisdom.
There's no light without the dark, so while the world carries patches of shadows, it’s still spinning and forever changing, going through the cycles of life. Let this be a gentle reminder that whenever hardship comes your way and fear and uncertainty sweeps through you like a chilling wind, know that it will eventually change and pass as well.
My wish for you is that you will always be able to find some peace inside the chaos and growth in change. Be proud of how you’ve moved through this year. Embrace your strength as you recall all you have experienced and sit in that space that was created as layers of your old life got peeled away.
You're brimming with stardust.
You are magic.
Never forget this. 💕
