Guided Meditation

I am so enjoying doing guided meditations and I would really like to do get to a point where it becomes part of my daily routine. I found this meditation on Dr. Northrup's site. She describes it as a healing exercise through Channeling in the Divine Feminine. I like her voice, it's soothing and strong and I just like the way you go through your body and send love to all the different body parts. I did it last night before I went to sleep. I was in such a deep state of relaxation as I drifted off.

A Rainbow for me

I was driving home from work the other day and was totally lost in my thoughts, thinking about creative endeavors. A thought came out of nowhere about writing an inspirational book for children with real life stories about children that have demonstrated creativity and innovation and shared it with there communities. I was so deep in thought and when I came close to home, ready to turn into our road, I looked up and saw a rainbow just behind our house! It didn't rain but there were huge clouds in the sky with this rainbow. I couldn't believe it. It really felt like the rainbow was just for me, as if the universe was saying to me:"' Feel the love, trust your heart and amazing things will happen."

Michael Oak Waldorf Annual Fair

 

I am grateful for all the love, care and community spirit of all parents and staff that has gone in to this years fair that will be on this Saturday.  Our class has been busy crafting all year, butterfly, fairy wings with hand beaded felted centres, crowns, capes, bunny hoods, staffs, wands and wizard sticks.  it’s been hard work but amazing in that such a community all has worked together to contribute to this event which is not only about raising funds for the school.  In addition it helps parents in a class to bond and get to know each other, it is great for the kids in that they see us working together with a common goal and observing us creating things as a team from natural resources, and it brings together (at the fair) a larger community of  people who end up supporting us by buying handmade craft, receiving gifts from of love (be it food, gifts of action (reiki, henna tattoos, massage, etc.) All to  promote care of the environment as well as sustainable living and community living.

Having said all that, I am also grateful that my work sewing 27 bunny, dragon, donkey, bear,mice hoods is done and dusted.  They will sell for R110  and are 100 per cent cotton.

 

Creative Inspiration

 

I fell in love with these amazing  hard cardboard wall decorations in a place called Guadalest in Spain.  Wouldn’t it be amazing if we could make a life size one for our girls?

Being able to Read

I have been reading so much lately and it just all of a sudden struck me that being able to read is such a privilege. It is definitely something that I never think about, the ability to read. How very different my world would have been if I couldn't read beautiful poetry, uplifting stories and every thing in between. Can you imagine not being able to read?

So many Teachers

I am incredibly grateful for the many people in the world teaching what they are passionate about and know to be true for them. It feels like I have grown so much in the last two years and having life teachers out there, speaking from the heart and sharing what they have learned and what they have struggled with just fills my heart and help me to learn the lessons I need to learn.

I have three and a halve days left at work, and I am tired to my bones. I think I have neglected myself for such a long time that body is just saying: "NO MORE!" I am looking forward to many things once I stay at home but what I am looking forward to the most is taking care of myself, giving myself what I need. I really really need that. I need to fill my cup to the brim. I now understand that what I need, I can only give myself.
