well, look at that — you found it
The most secret,
most magical place
on the entire internet
You are so welcome here. Sit for a moment and listen to a little whisper of the infinite possibilities that live inside your heart — all the time, whether you notice them or not.
Who you are matters. You have so much to bring to the world. Never forget that.
press play, then read on ↓
You were born on this planet
Only one of you exists
You matter so much
You have so many gifts
Not one person alive
Sees the universe like you
There's not much I know
But this much is true
Who you are is important
Your dreams are not silly
So keep walking that path
Even when it gets hilly
Each up and each down
A lesson you learn
A new opportunity exists
Around every single turn
Don't let go of ideas
They are meant to stay alive
As you nurture them with love
They start to thrive
And what starts as a glimmer
Will burn as a spark
And the light in your soul
Will brighten the dark
The more glimmers that rise
The more light we will see
The more people will bring
Their unique creativity
A ripple in a pond
It starts very small
But soon all that joy
Is shared with the all
It only takes a single
Person who decides to decide
That they won't live small anymore
That they weren't meant to hide
And as that blossoming happens
A flower so rare
The beauty, unimaginable
Extending infinite care
To all who are part
Of this cosmic river above
And we keep flowing on
Powered by that infinite love.
This is a secret page, so only the people who are meant to be here will ever find it. And it is so important that we uplift each other.
While the music plays, sign the guestbook below. Write down something you're grateful for, or leave some kind and inspirational words for another human to read.
Someone will find them. They always do.
Love,
Anastasia

Be weird cause everyone is weird.
Eternally grateful for finding my way back to the garden,
Kula sparks of joy! A smile of peace, dreams, adventures and possibilities.
I carry gratitude with a little attitude :)
Gratitude gives us the best attitude.
Is a motto I try to follow,
But sometimes in life things happen that make it hard to swallow.
We get hit hard by circumstances in life.
It can make us full of anger, bitterness, and strife.
Yet we all have something to be thankful for,
Just search deep in your core!
Happiness and gratefulness will take us so far,
And we will shine to other like a beautiful night star!
I am thankful for a healthy body that keeps me moving.
I’m thankful for my home, even if it’s old and needs some extra TLC.
I’m thankful for my supportive and caring husband.
I’m thankful for the fresh local produce that has been filling our bellies!
I’m thankful for my job.
I am NOT thankful for the mouse who has decided to wreak havoc on my pantry and avoid every trap I’ve set up through the house. Now I must go clean up the 10 lbs. of flour that found itself fluffing through the air as little gnarly teeth freed it from the paper bag it had been contained in.
