Recently, I have been on a personal journey of fitness. Both physical, spiritual, and emotional. And in this post I’m going to dabble a little into all three aspects, why they are important to me as an individual, and the mindsets I do my best to foster. I started this journey of physical fitness and […]
I think that the most wonderous things in this life, we often let slip through our fingers. I had a really good day yesterday, and some of my favorite things are as follows: The sun was shining, warming me from within, the wind was blowing strong and sweet over the mountains, ruffling my hair and […]
Shamrock green and meadowlark yellow Round doors all turn to face fields of yarrow and heather Brooks all a’ gurgling, marsh wrens a’ singing Snapdragons nodding and lilac by the sill Daisies on the roadside and poppies in the dell Cabbages and carrots, potatoes and leeks, and oh! The mushrooms yonder in shady glen… Hobbiton, Bywater, Marish and Stock, […]
Love feels like a summer’s breeze, wafting the sunlight leaves… Love feels like an ocean deep, fathomless–filled of light and dark Love feels like a rose in bloom, or a daisy by the roadside smiling, all in joy of glorious day Love feels like Winter’s bite, sharp and bitter as poison, it cuts deeply Love […]
Moving, in and of itself, can bring all sorts of words to the ocean surface of our minds. Words like: adventure, travel, sightseeing, a new chapter, uprooted, a family migration, and melancholy all come to my mind. Although I haven’t moved as many times as some people in my circle of knowing, I certainly have […]
Sometimes it’s hard to wake up with anything to be thankful for. Everything might seem to be going wrong for you, but even in our darkest of days we can be truly thankful, and encouraged. I sum it up like this: “I woke up today…I am full of limitless possibilities, I have not been given […]
I regularly take a stroll across the sweet smelling, bee laden meadow, then into the old forest, to walk alongside the lazy, turquoise creek, and journey up the steep hills-having that lovely odor of forest decay-that rich smell of dark and moist earth, decomposing leaves, and the pungent, musty scent of beasts. These hills surround our little house like a […]
Cold and bare as Winter’s teeth somber sun shines forth at dawn ne’re should the swallow sing old and dreary as bones beneath the sodden earth–bare but sweet holds new life that slumbers on beneath the faerie ring & under hill and dale doth the dead still sleep, weary from this endless toil. Dry eyes […]
This final part in the “Clearing out the Cobwebs” post is going to be about spiritual/mental/emotional clutter. Although it can be less noticeable than physical clutter, the kind that one can do the whole “shove-it-under-the-bed-or-in-the-closet” routine, the kind of clutter that clogs up our brain is a far more sinister creature indeed. Sometimes we notice […]
The title to this is both an accurate physical and metaphorical statement…we all have cobwebs and clutter in our homes, and inside ourselves. This will be a two-part post, with this first part being about physical clutter inside our house, and the second part being about mental/spiritual clutter. To be brutally honest, I am a class […]
