My mom gave me the most awesome card for my birthday! You know the kind that makes you cry while you are reading it?!
I was inspired to create this LO based on the words from that card as I played along with this weeks mixer at Mix It Up!
(Supplies: Sassafras Lass, Scenic Route, My Little Shoebox, Magistical Memories, Kaiser Crafts, Fiskars, Stampin' Up!) If you like the little birdie, check out Magistical Memories! They are having a 25% off sale on orders of $25 or more!
Here's what the card said...
"Love yourself.
MAKE PEACE with who you are
and where you are
at this moment in time
Listen to your heart.
If you can’t hear what it is saying
in this noisy world,
MAKE TIME for your
Enjoy your own company.
Let your mind wander amoung the stars.
Try.
Take chances.
MAKE MISTAKES.
Life can be messy
and confusing at times,
but it’s also full of suprises. The next rock in your path
might be a stepping-stone.
Be happy.
When you don’t have what you want,
want what you have.
MAKE DO. That’s a well-kept secret of contentment. There aren’t any shortcuts to tommorrow.
You have to MAKE YOUR OWN WAY.
To know where you’re going is only part of it.
You need to know where you’ve been, too.
And if you ever get lost, don’t worry.
The people who love you will find you.
Count on it.
Life isn’t days and years.
It’s what you do with time
and with all the goodness and grace
that’s inside you.
MAKE A BEAUTIFUL LIFE...
The kind of life you deserve."
I believe we can all read these words and be touched by them; made to think about our own lives and where we are and what we are doing with them right now.
Take them in!
I know I did!
