Coming back again to this question at the end of my day and seeing all of your responses I found myself saying “Yes, how could I have forgotten that one?!” And, so many many more books to add to my list. So many books so little time ????
So many to try and remember but the ones that come to mind right now are The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran and I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou. But all of you have given me many books to add to my reading list.
Here are my mantra rocks to remind me how to live my life ????
This is where I start my morning with my cup of coffee. And, I find I linger here so long that I am always out the door late of my walk. That is ok – my walk will always be there. I cannot think of a better way to start the day. Many blessings and warm hugs to all you today and every day ????
Last year was a very challenging and painful year. So much so I sought counseling. The individual counseling wasn’t what I needed. What I needed and wanted was a group of like-minded souls to bounce things off of for other perspectives. I didn’t find such a group where I live but it occurred me just this past week (with a slap to my forward silly me!) when I found this place, I had found my group. And, I found you by accident (no such thing) when I was searching something else on the inte...

I imagine my family and friends might be saying the same thing “No more rocks!” That is funny. I always seem to find a place for another. And I always have my garden. You asked about type of paint – I use acrylic paint and oil-based paint pens and coat with a clear acrylic sealer (I use Mod Podge) all from Wal-Mart or Michaels. Rock painting for me is my therapy. In my retirement I am rediscovering my artistic side. It is so much fun and I get lost in the task. Easi...

Sounds like a wonderful idea. It is fun to hide them for others to find. When I double back to their hiding places and see that they are gone, I like to imagine who found them and how it may have made them feel – hopefully starting with a smile ????
❤️ All words to live by – thank you.
My home is filled with rocks and shells leaving not much room to prop your feet on the coffee table ????
I like the idea of facing a new day with the heart of a lion so I shall!
Beautiful. These words moved me more than my words can express ❤️
Dear Anna, thank you for sharing this. I have to admit since I am new here I find myself struggling with worrying did I/will I say something I shouldn’t have and being too concerned on what I say. All of you keep reminding me of the warm safe place we have here. With so much appreciation and love for all you. Have a lovely day. And, know I carry all of your spirits with me throughout my day all day long ❤️????
That is so true Manda. Just read your post and wising you a wonderful time your family and friends celebrating your sister’s birthday. And, glad you found your mat. I knew of someone who found yoga to help with her spine injury and hope it continues to help you. I am heading out now for a nice walk in the early morning snow wishing I could see a bear. I do see coyote, possum and skunks and on a very lucky a fox. Blessings and have a lovely day ????
Dear Palm, I am sorry for your difficult time. I hope your burdens ease soon. I have found through my most difficult times come the greatest growth. And, since I keep seeing Thomas Moore’s Care of the Soul mentioned here, I have finally found it at my library and look forward to reading it myself. I hope you can find a moment or two of joy in your day today. Wishing you well ❤️

I am glad you and your husband are safe and no collision! Must have really shaken you up a bit. It shows us how things can change in an instant with no warning. Moments like that for me have taught me that life can be taken away so quickly and to not waste my time on things that don’t really matter. Lovings wishes to you, Cintia. Have a lovely day ????
How nice that rain sounds. I awoke to some much needed nice snow. I even enjoy shoveling snow since I see it as a nice workout. However, being mindful of my shoulders so easy does it.
Ah yes wise men indeed. Thank you for your warm welcome Anna ❤️
Sweetest blessings to you, THenry ❤️
