Hello everyone and Happy Friday 🙂

How are you today? Do you feel empowered to know that a glorious period of rest is coming with the weekend? Do you feel invincible, ready to take this free time and turn it into the beginning of some brand new and life-changing project? Do you plan on relaxing, not worrying about a thing and let the world run itself while you’re lying quietly in bed?

Do you have a date with your lover? Do you have plans with your siblings, your parents, your friends? Are you getting married? Divorced?

Is there a child you’re about to bring into this world today? Did you just hired someone? Are you dropping out of school ?  Are you joining the army?  Are you becoming a vegan?

Are you renewing you wedding vows?  Are you burying the love of your life today?

Are you living your life?

Whatever we do in our lives, we do it beautifully, because we are beautiful. Every single one of us. We are beautiful because we are living, instead of merely existing and this beauty shows on our bodies, on our skins and in our eyes.

Grief, Love, Anger, Happiness, Fatigue, Courage… We are made of all of those feelings and our souls are bright with it, they are blinding, they are thirsty, they are hungry and relentless.  We are able to want, to ache, to be sad, wrecked and done. We may reach the point of wanting to die, or the climax of a perfect euphoria, but whatever we’re living, as long as we are utterly living it and burning with the chance to do so, then we are always stunning.

Enjoy today’s Shatzi.
