HAPPEN

Last Updated on October 23, 2017 by Crunchy Betty

HAPPEN

Sometimes I forget one of the wonderful things about blogging is that I’m allowed to not be perfect.

Nay.

One of the wonderful things about LIFE is that we’re all allowed to not be perfect.

I spent the last two days literally agonizing over a potential post to the point where I erased and deleted no less than twenty times. I took this picture and I felt energized by this quote, but everything surrounding it wasn’t enough.  And when it comes down to it, all I really wanted to do was tell you all this:

You’re the best. You. You’re the best.

Every decision you make is inspirational, even if you have no idea at the time. Every time you happen to life, you set a chain of events in motion that someone, somewhere learns from – in exponentially exciting ways.

One of my favorite movies, a quaint French film featuring Audrey Tatou called Happenstance, is a reminder for this April weekend:

Listen to me. There is not a gesture, even the most insignificant, that can’t change the world. You see, every detail, every gesture, as slight as it may be, reveals an infinity of truths and thus has an endless repercussion and grandiose effects.

Don’t they say the beating of a butterfly’s wings over the Atlantic can cause a Hurricane in the Pacific? So feel free sometimes to do something stupid, random, and ludicrous. That stupid, random, and ludicrous act can upset the order of the world.

And with that, I wish you a wonderful weekend.

Go happen TO it.

While I remain humbly imperfect, if not just a little bit ludicrous.

Big love …

… and happy happening.

    You’re such a naturally generous soul. Or is it that you make & apply some sort of soul salve that increases generosity?:) Thanks so much for all you do….

    Hi there, I am new to your blog and am loving it! Do you have archives set up with titles or some way to search for specific blogs other than scrolling page after page? To be more specific, I would love to read specific blogs you wrote for Food on Your Face. Also there was an article about mile and honey baths that I can’t find anymore. Any help would be great, I really enjoy your blog! Thanks!

    No need to agonize over perfection. You are gifted; you are a natural. You make my day.

  14. Green Penny Pincher says

    Right back atcha!  You are a wealth of information, a great writer, and an inspiration as a successful green blogger!  Plus you sound like just the sort of person I’d love to sit and have a cup of tea or coffee with in real life.  🙂  Hope your weekend was great – mine was!

  15. Vert_37 says

    Perfect is boring; and if you can’t act silly at least once in a while, well- that’s just ludicrous!  Hehe.  You are lovely and inspiring, always- thank you! 🙂

    So true. It can be so easy to look at the world, see what we want to change, be overwhelmed by the enormity of it all and despair. But the more I see of the world the more I see just how much we can, and we ARE changing it, bit by bit.
