Eating in Bed for Love

9/30/2013

0 Comments

 
Just so you know, this isn't one of those, "Breakfast In Bed" stories, though we can see a lot of beauty in having breakfast delivered to bed. This story was shared by a mom who didn't find it that beautiful when she discovered food popping in her bed. 
​

"A day in my life....
Mom (YELLING...and ANGRY): WHO was eating popcorn in my bed?!!!!
Will: I did. I was cold and your bed is warm and it smells like you when your covers give me a hug.
Mom (walking away, smiling, comment to herself): Damn! He is good!"

Leave it to the wisdom of a child to help us understand what it means to eat in bed for love. Here are a few ways he helped us see beautiful: 1) Covers give hugs. 2) Beds offer warmth. 3) Beds smell like people we love. 4) Finding a comfortable place to eat makes food taste that much better. 5) Eating in bed can be filling in more ways than one. 

 As you crawl into bed tonight, perhaps you'll see beautiful in ways you never have. Let the covers give you a hug and carry you to sleep, feeling more love than this morning when you climbed out of the hug-giver. 


And for those days you find crumbs in your bed, instead of anger, feel the love. Who knew popcorn could help you see beautiful?

So when it comes down to it, worry is really just wasting the time we could be using seeing beautiful.

As you feel worry creeping in today, remember the wheel. Where does your worry fall on the wheel? Is it a real issue you can do something about? Great, do it. If not, shift your focus to seeing beautiful. It's better for you!

Your Story Matters

Do you know your story matters? It does. 
Do you tell it? You should.

 Kelly Rae Roberts tells her story, and it's a beautiful one that inspires others. This is a piece of her collection. Are you seeing beautiful? We do.

Kelly Rae Roberts' thinking about her work emulates the mission of See Beautiful. She shares, "My hope is that my work invokes a sense of clarity and peace within you as you walk your own path in life, and that it inspires you discover your own limitlessness."

We think this philosophy, matched with her art, exemplifies many ways to see beautiful:
1. Find clarity and peace in the every day.
2. Be inspired by art (and you define the art).
3. Discover your own limitlessness and be empowered by doing so.
4. Remember that your story matters.
5. Honor your voice and tell your story.
