She wasn’t where she had been. She wasn’t where she was going, but she was on her way.

This beginning...this yellow rising...this opening of my heart...No more “just” in front ofmy “another day,” becauseit’s ANOTHER day!Every dream is on bloom,not held within season...and neither am I. The worldbegins and begins and begins...and I cartwheel along...knowing today, I don’t have tofinish... I can keep laughingand hoping and lovingand living, openly,through this beautiful day!

I am a part of it all...I am part of the wishesblown over burning candles,the ingredients, the left-overs,

the dreams behindcracked open windows,the prayers at the edge of bed,the worries swept under...I am part of the roadsthat lead to and from here,the neighbors near and far,all under one sky, trying toget to their own place of

unconditional,outstretched arms.I am part of it all...

and I am home.

#2018 On her way H #2019 This beginning #2020 Part of it all#2017 Heart exposed

Heartexposed,there was nowhereleft to run.I thought I wouldbe more afraid,but it gavepeace a chance to catch up with me.

As I come clean, I have to admit that I have been in a battle with love and fear. Thankfully, love has won... but not because I, or it, fought harder. No, it happened, not with a fist, but a willingness to throw

my hands in the air and let be... let in what’s knocking, let go what’s leaving, let live what’s dancing about, and let love, simply love.

#2022 The path I walk H #2023 The sun lit #2049 Come clean#2021 Be it ever so humble

So unique

and so bold, your light

shines so brightly... but not with disregard for others. It never feels like you are saying,

“Hey, look at me,” but more,

“Hey, look at everybody!” “Look at all these beautiful people!” You’ve never been one to exclude - you have been

one to invite! You are an invitation to see ALL...to see everyone’s true colors.

And I accept! #2050 So unique

I leaned on you today. I’m not sure if you even knew,but I wanted to thank you.

I felt you holding

my heart. It made me happy.And I was strong. I hope I do that for you...

if so,we can do anything.

#2054 Leaned on you today H #2055 Wonderful world H #2056 Stop worrying H

You are not my sole reason...I don’t believe anyone can be,or should be asked to be... but you’re a good reason...a good reason to believe in something, and in someone.

#2080 Good reason to believe#2067 Obvious

I thought I was being so obvious.I had this versionof myself that seemed so clear to me. But I don’t think anyone really saw me,

Be brave. I thought maybe if I wrote the words down,

I could live them. I could let go of this “maybe” life,and be brave enough to say yes... brave enough to say no. And then, in all the uncertaintyaround me, I could be certain of this,

that I was brave enoughto love, to laugh... to cry... to be me... that I was brave enough to really live.

I have burned and thrown and lost every map I’ve held, but I’m here.I am here, and I am different. I’m not certain what that makes me, but I am me. And I am certain that this glorious experience has to be this way.Certain that it won’t be easy. Certain that it shouldn’t be.Certain that I can’t destroy what I don’t understand, even when it’s me.Certain that you have to be different too. And it’s more than ok, it’s beautiful!

That’s what joins us. We’re not the same, but we’re in this together!

#2024 I have a chance #2025 Learn something H #2027 Love answered - bw



Someone believes in me. You can’t mess with that. I am loved. You can’t take that away.

I have a chance. You can join me.





Learn somethingthat is not in front of you.

L o v e s o m e o n ewho doesn’t look like you.

Go somewhereyou’ve never been.the world is beautiful.






Love answered, “If you knew who walked beside you, you’d neverfeel alone.”


#2064 Be yourself

#2085 Thanks#2087 Heart H #2104 Moment of happiness H #2105 Today will be what it is H



With time, the things that make me care seem to change.

Tears and laughter often reverse their roles.

The world switches from big to small

depending on the uncertainties that surround us,

while comfort packs its bags and moves from place to

place, never leaving a forwarding address. But through

the impermanence of people and feelings, you

stay as slow,

as warm

and as forever as children's summer laughter.

You remain a part of my heart's truth,

the part that doesn't get crushed beneath

the weight of time passing,

the part I give thanks for, everyday.

She wasn’t where she had been.She wasn’t where she was going...but she was on her way.And on her way she enjoyedfood that wasn’t fast, friendships that held,hearts glowing,hearts breaking,smiles that caught tears,paths trudged andalleys skipped.And on her way she nolonger looked forthe answers, but held close the two things she knew for sure.One, if a day carried strength in the morning,peace in the evening,and a little joy in between,it was a good one...and two, you can livecompletely withoutcomplete understanding.

She was on her way.

#2121 Friend

#2030 I am here

I am here. I have the courage to believe that matters. I have the strength to make a difference...to be different. Even with an empty hand, I have the means to give. I am free to become...to fail...to learn.

I have the advantage of hope. I have the opportunity to love... to be loved. I have the wisdom to know it is all a gift...all. When I make my decision on how I

am going to live this day, and it is a

decision, I joyfully, responsibly, gratefully, face the world and say, “I am here.”

I know that I am nothing new. I am not the first to believe in love. I may not even be the first person to love you. But no one has loved with this very heart... this bruised and ever hopeful, beating heart...cracked open enough to let yours in. This doesn’t make us new...but it does make us special. I hope you feel it...I do, and that feeling is oh, so welcomed, and so brand new.

I want to be more respectful of LOVE itself, and not just the people it travels through. I want to embrace its peace, applaud its creativity and

hand; acknowledge the strength, the adversity,

the up off of its knees fortitude; and the gentleness of its embrace.

#1030 My feet, with their need for solid ground, couldn’t convince my heart not to set sail

I have feared it, respected it, and longed for it, but I’ve always believed in love. And one day, without my knowledge or permission, love took me in...held me in the promise of a longer sun, ran with me in the greening grass,

and I knew the power of spring.

answered, “If you knew

beside you, you’d never feel alone.”

Lovewho walked

The grace that comes from the living in, the living through, and the living on, this will be our story... told in wee hours, rainstorms, and candlelight…embellished and embraced, and

ever home.

These walls speak of what I’ve held and what I’ve let go. They echo partiesand surprises... laughter, tears, and music... a conversation of lives.These walls, like a best friend, invite me to join the conversation, or sit quietly in the

warmth of memory. I am part of it all.

I am home.#2026 Power of spring #2027 Love answered #2028 The grace that comes #2029 These walls

#1048 The sky is blue... I don’t need to be. Another chance given

#1033 It occured to me, this might be a really good day to start living H

#1046 No longer fearing beauty, I can see it in everything (I’m going to try the same thing with love.)

“Take surprise in each sunrise and comfort in each moon. Move often, carrying your Home with you.Climb mountains. Stroll beaches. Drive cars on busy streets and sail bicycles down big hills.Love among the Hate, when love is what you truly feel. Suck strength from your anger, and then let it go.Scream at the ocean. Run when the sign says walk. Question authority and accept Change. Fill your soul instead of your pockets. Have lunch on busy sidewalks. Dance alone in your kitchen.Talk to everyone you meet, including the soldiers in your head. Watch closely. Read something. Listen hard. Smile in every mirror. Grow with each tear.With a heart and a brain, loneliness is unacceptable.HAVE FUN! without maps or directions.Cherish Happiness. Buy it if you have to, but always give it away freely.

Wear short skirts and long dresses.Wave at the uniformed and the unsavory.Keep them guessing, and praying and hoping and laughing.

Struggle. Fight, Try, Reach, Build, Learn, Crawl, Invent, Rally, Fall, Get up again.And if the heavens should happen to open, offering transportation to even the smallest of dreams, Ride the nearest cloud.”

There are some soulson this earth that just seem

to shine a little brighter.It’s not because

they’ve been left to burnin peace and quiet.I think it’s because

they’ve been stirred -and poked, and prodded.

The fire grows and glows because ofthe beautiful struggle they’re in.

The flame gets a little hotter,the heart a little stronger,

and the soul so very, very, bright.

You shine.

It has to start here....I humbly ask of myself and offer this world -If you need an open mind, let it be me.If you need a welcoming smile, let it be me.If you need an unjudging hand, let it be me.If you need someone to listen, let it be me.If you need a creative, inquisitive spirit, let it be me.If you need someone to stand up when the ground shakes beneath...let it be me.If you need a nurturing, loving, strong and gentle soul, let it be me...and if you need someone to see this in all others, ALL, please,

let it be me. jodi hills

You know my colors and my heart, and would never make me come out of a fitting room, unless I looked spectacular.

It makes me really happy to know you.

I didn’t think I should wait for your birthday, or a holiday to tell you that… it seemed important enough for you to hear it on just a Tuesday, or a rainy day, or on this day…

Every day, you need to know how special you are to this world, and thankfully, to me!

I saw the truth about you -the truth in how you could take life's punch,the hurt in wondering why you had to,the strength in your surviving smile.

I saw the truth about you, and it was BEAUTIFUL!

I questioned why all hadn't bothered to look.Maybe they were afraid to view the extraordinary mess,because there comes a responsibility with that -once you acknowledge that you've seen someone,you're involved,you're a part of it - a part of all the imperfect truth.

I saw the truth about you -the honesty in the struggle surpassed,the truth in the tears, the laughter,the pain, the love,and the glorious joy that only comes from life's truest moments.

I saw the truth about you - and the truth is,I give thanks for that, every day. jodi hills

I remind myself that therewas no point going through it,if I don’t move past it. If I keep replaying it, reliving it,

there is no reward. The reward has to be in the letting go... the absence of giving it more time, more meaning, more value. The reward is the clarity of now.The freedom of now.The lightness of now.Now is my beautiful reward.
