Fighting demons from inside
Tears rolling down my eyes
Falling slowly inside my hands
One droplet at a time

A triggered mind sets off the spark for the flame to ignite without even having a candle to burn

Anxiety ridden
Hanging on the ledge
One foot off, I’m on the edge
Of losing my mind
There is no time
For me to retract these emotions of mine
I am strong but I am also human
Trying to let go of what cannot be changed
Positive and negative energy needs to exist
Which has made me become grateful of this bliss
Though it sounds odd, maybe strange
Yet, to me, this is perfectly sane
I am who I am
Let it be
Anxiety ridden
Hiding behind these emotions inside of me

Walking in water
No footprints left behind
Walking in sand
Footprints appear
Yet when the waves come crashing in they disappear
Either way, seen or unseen, your path is still clear
Following your hearts desire will let your journey to have no fear, in what lies ahead…

Dreams are messages
Messages are dreams
If you can still remember them
Then it’s meant to be

Connectivity with no word to be said
Like an unwritten message with a hidden meaning to be transcribed
Thoughtful moments
Unspoken thoughts
Unraveling the conversations with a simple look
Willingness to break silence
Calming the air
Simplest laughter
Hearts full of friendship and love
Nothing is beyond compare

Tied together between the twisted words of the harsh reality called the past
Bound together like a broken mirror glued together, yet barely holding on
Slipping through the sands of time, unable to grasp the feeling of life
Yet, somehow, your here, holding the little fragments of your journey thus far
Culminated by snapshots and still photographs imbedded in your mind
Memories, so you call them, overflowing like a river running dry
Stepping stones guiding the way, jumping further distances, come what may
Weakness grows stronger
Stronger becomes better
Trying to grasp what maybe no longer
Yet, you are you, for many reasons above
Always remember, no matter what, you are LOVED

Between the
Clouds
Sun
And the
Rain
There’s a whole galaxy
Floating away
Follow the
Moonlight path
It’ll lead you there
To find nature’s beauty
From down here…

That moment when out of nowhere
Something is triggered and you can’t break out
The feeling of suffocation is overwhelming
Anxiety and fear are in doubt
Just take a deep breath and relax your mind
It too will pass and all will be fine…

You

As you

Me breathless

One day you’ll look back
Forget the past
Live in the moment
Walk toward your future
One day….
The past has guided you
To live within each moment
Allowing you to move toward your future
Living your best life to the fullest extent…

Broken thoughts
Like an unfinished puzzle
That feeling of always missing a piece
Never to be found
Until you least expect it
When the unfinished suddenly becomes complete
Be patient, for then, brokenness turns into beauty and all is found

You search for magic that swirls around your head, encapsulated by the stories told through your eyes, finding endless possibilities as you dance on cloud nine.
You smile because your loved , you laugh because your happy, you cry because life is beautiful, even through the darkest of times.

The light it emotes
The powerful vibes it shows
The beauty flying high
On this, the Full Moon, up in the sky

Love is deep
Deeper then the ocean floor
Where creatures roam, looking for more
But how much more could you look for
When love is as deep as the ocean floor
Constantly flowing like the blood pumping to your heart
Feeling alive and powerful all from the inside

Crisp morning air
Cool breeze blanketing your skin
Sun rising high above
Taking it all in

Light goes to darkness
Darkness goes to light
Ever changing moments
Are always within sight
Never say never
Even when the light is dim
Be your own light that shines
The passion is always within

Sometimes blurriness
Captures the most
Innocence of emotions

You dare to dream
You dare to wish
You dare to believe
In your own
Happiness

When the feeling is right
All will gently fall
Into place creating
Happiness

Just take the jump
Close your eyes
Believe in your dreams
That’s where you’ll find
Happiness is everything

I look out into the open air
Trying to have not a worry or a care
Yet in the back of my mind
I try to leave my worries behind
Letting them flutter away
Allowing them to escape
Out into the open air
Taking in the moments
Embracing them all
Not succumbing to the
Negative falls

We closed the door
One final time
Walked down the stairs
Stopped at the bottom
Grab hands
Squeezed them tight
Jumped into our new adventure
Together feeling so right
Here’s to writing our new book of our life

We closed the door
One final time
Walked down the stairs
Stopped at the bottom
Grab hands
Squeezed them tight
Jumped into our new adventure
Together feeling so right
Here’s to writing our new book of our life

It is scary yes
but if you don’t take that jump
you’ll never know if you will land on your feet…

Hi y’all!
Sorry I’ve been MIA
We are packing up and moving away
But have no fear
I have much more to write here
Stayed tuned after we settle down and are safe and sound!

Much love,

Ashly

Closer to your heart
The sunbeam of your soul
Shining bright through the mist
Rising above the fog
Drizzled with emotions  
Highly concentrated with love
Like flowers growing with self care
Expanding your horizons within the fresh air

An ending coming to a new beginning
A door closing to another one opening
The curtain is closing to another one rising
A new adventure is waiting
Bittersweet

A major work of art is showing how much love your heart can hold…

She lights a match
Setting her eyes on fire
Looking for the smoke to settle
Following her hearts journey

It’s time to DREAM

It’s time to DANCE

It’s time for YOU

It’s time for ME

It’s time for US!

That first kiss

That one kiss

Means


EVERYTHING

When you keep that wish
Close to your heart
Magic will soon take hold

On the other side
The grass may not always be greener
But your dreams are
Brighter

Today I am better than yesterday.
Today I am strong.
Today I am loved.
Today I am living.
Today I reach for a better tomorrow.

It’s ok to feel lost because sometimes being lost actually leads you to the path your meant to find…

It’s not time to write a new chapter of your life.
It’s time to start a new book on this journey of life.
Always referring back to where you came from, who’s hearts you have touched, and who has helped you fulfill the love within your heart.
It’s time.
It’s go time.
The start of something new and exciting.
It’s time for YOU!

You don’t change yourself
You grow into the person
Your meant to become

When your tired of just pretending….

….remove your mask, stop playing that role….

JUST BE YOU

On the outside looking beautifully as can be
But on the inside drowning in my own self esteem
What’s going on with these emotions in me
When you look at me, what do you see?

You’ll find “me”
(Yourself)
When “you”see me
(Myself)

Afraid is ok, but not doing something because your afraid, won’t allow you to grow within yourself as a person…


Sometimes you need change.
Sometimes you need a different atmosphere. Sometimes you need to let go.
Sometimes you need to move on.

Being afraid doesn’t mean you can’t do it
It means that your human instincts are telling you, ITS OK, and change is on the way…

Blissful beauty
Colorful skies
Infinite atmosphere
Right before our eyes

Not everyone will understand you
Not everyone will accept you
As long as you understand yourself
As long as you accept yourself
As long as your always truly YOU
You have more then most people have in their life

A part of your life is always hidden behind the surface
That’s ok, the sun and moon aren’t always full and shining all the time
Sometimes your meant to be closed off….

You do not have to be at
100%
To give
100%
Remember  that…

Enter through the whimsical door
Look around and explore
There’s magic hiding in every corner
Transforming your imagination into an explorer

When the sun sets
So does the day
Tomorrow is a fresh start
A new beginning of a blank page

I glanced in the mirror
Saw your eyes
Within the reflection of mine

In a world that’s
F

Apart
Come together to pick up the

To help put us back
TOGETHER

Take me to the edge of the water
Where there’s no end in sight
Yet the sight is unseen
When you dream big and believe
