Julene’s Gems of Inspiration: Live in Full Color

Live in full color, to the full…take risks, climb your way up the mountains of your dreams, dance randomly in public (my friends know me for this) find yaself some fun new adventures… try something you’ve never done before and immerse yourself in it – you never know what will happen and what you’ll discover.
.
Meet someone new whose life and passions are a different color or background than you and spread Love everywhere you go (I’m a formerly shy extreme introvert who now chats with strangers at every turn).
.
This is how I’ve been aiming to live my life, to explore, reach out for the unknown and the new, to dream far and high, take bold leaps of faith and never let fear of what’s unexpected be an excuse for what God has in store… Let’s embrace and enjoy this adventure of purpose & experiencing this life in it’s fullest with Love in full bloom…

“Love life. Engage in it. Give it all you’ve got. Love it with a passion because life truly does give back, many times over, what you put into it.” – Maya Angelou

Let’s all be warriors of Love… We can change the world when we see and encourage one another, from the young to the oldest, to be our fullest selves! Ya see all those people around you each day, even the ones you’ve accidentally overlooked or think you’re different from? Each one of them is a reflection of God’s heart, made to connect with Him in love and the dreams in their hearts are planted there by Him…

When you get free to live in your fullness you get to set other people free to flourish & live in full color too. We become like the beautiful family we were meant to be…

Life’s a journey of growth and evolving – we weren’t made to conform to society’s image of perfection but to be the best we can be in the masterpiece called our bodies and the world God put our spirits in and in whatever our dreams are… So dream high & believe bigger warrior, don’t stop creating & loving. You are loved more than you can imagine and make the world better just by being in it… *In the whisper from A Wrinkle in Time: #BeAWarrior



I made this video inspired by Ava DuVernay’s movie “A Wrinkle in Time” starring Storm Reid. Have you seen it yet? If not be sure to see it online or on DVD!
