Everyday Adventure
Bag People, we are.
My brain is flat and all the planets and Sun revolve around it.
The tempest has made herself known
She calls you in with crystal blue clarity and radiant sunlight
Her beauty blinds you to the danger as she screams down the mountain
First, your little birdhouse loses the shingles off the roof
Then, a tree falls and crushes the walls and the ice cold wind swirls within
The tempest blasts your little birdhouse apart
She knows her power and tricks you to trust her
But all she really wants is to blow your soul apart
The trees are calling me.
They want my soul to mingle with theirs for awhile.
The wind carries this invite straight to my heart.
And this is the one invite I must rsvp for.
It’s the invitation to life.
There is no reason for me to think about a job.
There is no reason for me to think about a boyfriend.
There is no reason for me to think about my future.
There is no reason for me to worry about my past.
All I have to do is see the world around me and watch the leaves change.
There is nothing I can do about my life back home.
All I can do is sit back and enjoy the ride.
It’s freeing to let it all go. I’ve never been able to do it before. I was always stuck in the middle of my life.
This journey has let me step away and just enjoy the moment. Hopefully, this gift and learning will stay with me always.
I’m not young, but I’m not old
I finally witnessed the stars today
From horizon to horizon they stretched out in layer upon layer
Gazing across the past, I’m struck by the immenseness of it all.
Just a minute speck of stardust trying to get by.
I’m taking up the long lost art of sending handwritten love notes on my journey! I would love for you get one of these heartfelt notes! All you have to do is fund my kickstarter campaign for the $10.00 reward! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1961096389/crellims-cross-country-adventure
Chasing happy, blessed to be able to do so!
Many never make the choice to chase happy; others are never given the chance.
I know it is a privilege to chase my happy; a privilege for which I am very grateful.
I chase my happy with all my heart; I will never take for granted how it makes my heart sing!
Sometimes there are dreams that exist outside of your career or goals
They hide in the background appearing only during sleep.
These are the dreams that you were to afraid to believe capable of when younger.
These are the dreams that only those labeled the dreamers dare to do.
You know the ones, they shrug off all the expectations of their family and friends and go do their own thing.
You say the same thing about them only because you are jealous and afraid to follow your own dreams.
But then your life shifts in ways unexpected. A crack opens and makes a path for that dream to escape from sleep.
No longer the scared child looking to please everyone around you.
What do you do?
Jump hard! Jump fast. I am now the dream.
There will be no regrets on my death bed.
I take this chance. I go forward but still afraid.
Yet, so excited about what living my secret dream will make me become!
This journey I travel has prepared me for this exact moment.
I know to my core that change is constant, so I’m not afraid.
It’s just a reminder that I’m not always in control and must adapt.
Time for a new challenge and an opportunity for growth.
I am so blessed!
I have travelled and seen the world.
I have worked with and friended some of the most amazing people.
I am so proud of everything I’ve accomplished
I knew it was time for change.
I was taking steps. I moved to Oakland.
But the universe smacked me on the head for not changing fast enough!
So the universe made the change for me instead.
Change has come! I’m excited for what is to come.
I’m grateful for all the blessings that helped prepare me for today.
I’m ready for the next adventure! I’m ready for this moment.
I know how to move forward!
