Gratitude


~ for my morning rituals which ground and center me for the day ahead

~ for my connection to nature, and the way I feel when I am in the woods


~ for my little man, my greatest teacher, and the most amazing little person I know

~ for friends, both old and new, near and far...the love and support of so many has been amazing


~ for sunshine on very cold winter days

~ for beautiful night skies full of stars


~ for slow and simple days, and the act of being mindful as I move through them

~ for the time each day when I take the opportunity to focus on all the good things in my life

What are you most grateful for today?

  3. I am grateful for my beautiful children, for my little house which keeps me warm on cold days and nights like the ones we've just had. For being healthy and having my basic needs met, a privilege that a lot of people don't have. And for my garden, which is covered with snow and ice at the moment, but I'll be starting some veggies like leek and onions indoors soon, so I've been thinking a lot about it. :)
    Have a great week Kim oxox

    1. Those are photos from last week, a little south of us, and it looks totally different now :) We got dumped on today, and are covered in white again. It was nice, but all the shovelling was tough.

      So happy little man is moving towards healing and feeling better. I hope it continues to move that way. Hugs to you all. Rest well my friend. xo

  14. Slow and simple days! The past couple of weeks have been packed full and I realized that it was too much, so I cancelled everything I had scheduled for 3 days straight. I am ending day 2 of the retreat... it is so nice.
