{this moment} - and the weekly {Smile-Up}

. . . . . . . . . . 

"There are no ordinary moments." ~Way of the Peaceful Warrior

{no ordinary moments} - a Friday ritual. Photos capturing moments from the week. Simple, special, extraordinary moments.

This started as the "365 Grateful Project" (A year long photographic project which involves taking a photo a day of something you're grateful for) 

and has evolved to my own liking -  using Daily Gratitude to see the world as anything but ordinary. 

Served with the weekly {Smile-Up} - gratitude practices to love and appreciate your life. 

If you're inspired to do the same, leave a link to your 'moment' and 'smile up' in the comments for all to find and see.

Lessons of the week: 

 More and more attention needs to be focussed on Self-Love! Especially as Women in a society we are meant to feel rejected in. ☀ Healing takes time and patience and kindness to one's self. ☀ Encourage others, feed them positivity and you both reap the benefits. ☀ Practice Daily Gratitude--repeatedly throughout the day! ☀ Start with YourSelf--Healing and Love must start with your self--everything else flows more easily thereafter. ☀ Go with the Flow. Don't stress about things that have not yet come. Always look to the Positive. ☀ 

Wishing you all the most magical and amazing week and day ahead!  Remember to Create the life of your dreams and to Create an awesome kick-ass day!
