The morning clouds were so beautiful as I was walking up the hill to campus this morning. They gave me strength to keep pushing on and reminded me that I can do anything I put my mind too. My day was stressful and a bit overwhelming, there were moments I felt sad and alone and all I wanted to do was scream… I pushed through. I went to my 6:30 Yoga class in the hopes it would clear my mind and relax me. As I was walking to my car after yoga I had one of the most enriching experiences… All I felt was happiness resonating inside of me. The air was crisp and cold but to me it felt warm and comforting; I felt as if I was nestled in safe arms on a summer night. The walk that seem to take forever on cold days like today, ended all too fast. I wanted more time to take in everything I was experiencing and feeling… I’m thankful for the simple lessons God teaches us in a single moment. “The gospel of Jesus Christ is beautifully simple and simply beautiful.” I’m thankful for such a beautiful world to live! I know God is always watching out for each of his children because of this experience!
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? -Nelson Mandela-
