Shine.

I genuinely am happy when I see others succeed! And I'm moreso in awe of those that shine so bright even with all the trials they've been through.

The ones that bravely face the world even when they want to hide and cry.

Yes, YOU!

This one's for you!

I admire you!

You are so totally awesome, your positivity is contagious!

You truly bring meaning to the saying "don't let your past dictate your future", because I'm sure you (as can I) can see your great potential.

Never lose that spark! <3 #beinspired #bemotivated #shinebrightlikeadiamond

Family.

I love my lil family. It may just be Lily & I but I loved my time with her tonight during Family Home Evening. In a family centred gospel it's easy (as a single mother) to feel somewhat left out and irrelevant to gospel topics like the temple, and families.

Personally though, I'm excited, hopeful, a little impatient (lol) that one day someone awesome will come join our lil family and take us to the temple.

I'm not sure anyone reads this, but I'm going to let you into a little of my hearts' desire.

I enjoy being a stay at home mum. Sometimes I imagine what it would be like as a housewife. I would enjoy cooking bigger meals and having my daughter squeal "Daddy! Daddy!" in excitement as he comes home from work.

I grew up with lots of family, and was raised by my namesake who was married to someone from a huuuuge family! I loved it! Christmas, Easter, Mothers Day, Nanas birthday... I looked forward to these special occasions because of the fun I had with all my cousins!

Now that's what I would love for Lily. I would love my husband to come from a huuuge family. I would looove to take her to Tonga. I just want a big family :) and I hope I get the chance to give Lily some siblings. Only just like 8 or something hehe

I'm hopeful.

Keep looking up.

Snoopy (was about to call him Snoop Dog lol) has always been a favourite of mine. What a wise lil dog! Physically, looking 'up' (in my opinion) means you look confident, ready to take on the world and its challenges. You're not slouching or shuffling your feet but marching ahead faithfully! On the other hand, looking up reminds me to always keep my head up, staying positive and looking up gratefully to God in thanks! There's so much to be thankful and hopeful for... so never lose sight of your goals and keep looking up! <3 #bemotivated #keeplookingup #staypositive

Good thoughts.

I am a firm believer of staying positive and thinking uplifting thoughts! And with all those good thoughts, there will be no room for doubt. When it comes to risks (of businesses, of love, of life) you will be compelled to accomplish what you set your mind to, especially when you have faith and believe in yourself. No room for any negativity here! #bemotivated #liveyourdreams #thinkpositive

Inspiration.

As much as it is a huge shock to hear about Haynesy, listening to his press conference speech is really inspiring! He makes a good point of reminding us to always challenge ourselves to follow our dreams and passions. Don't be complacent! Set goals. Live your dreams, no matter how crazy. And surround yourself with positive people <3 #bemotivated

Never give up.

This week on Facebook I've shared some of my thoughts so here I am sharing the love on my blog I've abandoned for 2 years lol

Never give up on chasing your dreams! No matter how far-fetched it may seem. If you believe you can, you're half way there <3 #bemotivated
