Hello Beautiful Souls 😍
I would like to share some thoughts with you . I hope you know how amazing and important you are 💜
Life is a series of choices and challenges, each shaping us in profound ways. As we journey through these experiences, we learn the importance of forgiveness and acceptance—not just of others, but of ourselves.
Many years ago, I faced decisions that led to significant changes in my life. These moments came with their share of pain and heartbreak, feelings of isolation, and times when only faith seemed to offer a guiding light. However, these experiences have been crucial in teaching me the power of resilience and the importance of looking inward for peace and closure.
Over time, I've learned to shift my focus from lingering on past hurts to understanding and embracing the lessons they offer. The process of healing isn't about denying the pain or the past but about learning to live with it constructively. It's about transforming our wounds into wisdom and finding strength in our vulnerabilities.
Society often has its own narrative about our lives, making assumptions and judgments without full understanding. It's vital to remember that our self-worth and truth aren't defined by these external perceptions.
True acceptance comes from within and involves embracing all facets of our lives—the good and the painful.In my faith, I've found a profound example of unconditional love and judgment free of bias.
Believing in Christ's presence on my toughest days has given me strength and comfort, affirming that I am never truly alone. This spiritual support has encouraged me to forgive, not only others but also myself, which has been essential in my journey towards self-acceptance.
Today, I focus on celebrating the present and embracing the future's potential. I am thankful for every experience as each has contributed to the depth of my character and the breadth of my understanding.By sharing our stories, we connect on a human level, recognizing our shared struggles and collective strength.
This isn't about seeking approval but about offering and finding solace in shared human experiences. Each narrative has the power to inspire, heal, and encourage others.
As we navigate our paths, let us choose with courage, forgive with depth, and love with all our hearts. It's in these choices that we find true freedom and fulfillment. Remember, the journey is as important as the destination and every step, a lesson in becoming who we are meant to be.
To all who are finding their way: know that your story matters, your challenges are valid, and your victories are worth celebrating. Embrace your journey with an open heart and a brave spirit.
Keep shining ✨️ Be inspired ✨️

Hello beautiful souls 💜 Thought I'd share a spiritual thought of mine that I had in the past and still resonates with me .
As I was noticing the beauty this morning, I started thinking alot of the atonement.
It's like trees,, we as humans have challenges and each season of challenges we shed the outer part and bring the inner beauty outward.
Leaves and branches fall off trees and later, new season they blossom again. Renewed. Refreshed.
I think of this as the Savior's Atonement. I, personally have broken my own personal "limbs" , healed my "trunk" which is the heart and shed my leaves and branches. The Savior is always there. He knows each one of us. He has suffered the pain, emotions, challenges and more. I'm grateful through my covenants I can continue to be renewed, cleansed, healed, and know that in all changes, I am a beautiful daughter of God. Just as each of us is Beautiful and special sons and daughters of God.
May we all try to respect each other and our beliefs, opinions, ideas and most of all a beautiful person with so much to offer. We don't have to agree or disagree on everything, but we're all in this together, it's called Life. 😉 So why not enjoy it while you can and learn and grow . Just a thought.
Keep shining ✨️ Be inspired ✨️

"You're Not Alone "by Jackie Telford 2022
Newest wood art piece. One challenge I completed.
I've always been real on my Feelings. Usually I Express in an artistic way or words. I'm coming close to 4 weeks left of fall semester. I then just have 2 semesters left till graduation. Been a long journey.
The thing is I've always kept going in anything and did my best and even when things or people literally wanted to be rid of me. When adversary tries or thinks he has won. I come back even stronger.
You see I love my life and my amazing journey with Tarl . I am grateful in all circumstances. But sometimes things get so overwhelming and challenging 😪 like school and big project coming up. Also the many specialists I see, off meds for diabetes then try this , off 2 insulin then back on with mix.
My rheumatoid arthritis and Oestoarthritis with horrible flareups especially weather changes it hurts. I'm 39 and I have had over 12 surgeries, tons of procedures, tests, medicines, and other challenges. I hurt . I cry. I push to get out of bed at times. It comes and goes. There's no exaggerating. It's exhausting.
Tarl sees its and I love he can hug and pray for me or bless me. I am safe with him. And it helps me know how blessed I am despite my trials. I have my special person.
But he can't take away my pain, my challenges or overwhelming situations in school or life. He is there. Just as our Savior. I pray for angels just as he was in Gethsemane being strengthened. We're not alone.
Lyrics I've written 🎶🎶🎶
I just ask that we show each of our family members near and far or those friends or family we haven't spoken to , show more compassion and love. More communication and empathy. Even those in community, church, neighbors, strangers around the world.
Not just when disasters or trauma or holidays. Everyone hurts. Everyone sins. Everyone has needs and challenges. Just love not judge. Please. Please look after yourselves, family and love ones. Because we all need that light within us to shine and definitely the saviors love which comes from all . Especially when you've had enough and feel helpless.
Share goodness. Mourn with others. Love one another. Help one another. Treat one another . Forgive one another. Care for one another.
Be there for each other. Near or far. Surprise. Text. Vist. Gift. Love. Hug. Pray. Each day . Show support and let others know you're there and they are important. ( Not just holidays)
I could use prayers of strength too. 💜
