Remembrance - Day 34 of 40

Two gentle guides 
who saw all of me, 
rough edges and all, 
and, 
while not in so many words, 
reassured me that I was (am) 
Enough 
and lovable 
just as I was (am). 

Blessed be. 

🕯  .  💙  .  🙏🏻

Practicing the Ministry of Receiving

Taking a moment to breathe deep and intentionally practice 
the Ministry of Receiving. 

Gentle reminder to self: 
 Twinkle lights, 
a warm cup of creamy chai tea in a favorite mug, 
and a lit candle, 
all on a chilly, dark fall morning 
bless and fill me up so much! 

(So, *so* much!)

What fills you, friend? 
(I'd really like to know)

Wishing us all a blessed week. 


❤️. 🙏🏻. ❤️

Heber Springs Bound

When my Uncle Tom died I had a real sense that I needed to be there for his funeral.

Not only is he very special to me,
I am so *hungry* for stories of our family 
and, 
with my Moma dying almost 20 years ago, 
I can no longer ask her.

But.
 I can ask her siblings.

So off we went.


A piece of our rental car's trim came loose so made an unexpected stop to get it fixed. 


The Arkansas line snuck up on us and we missed it!

The moon followed and watched over us throughout our whole trip.  Good thing. A critter
ran out in front of us and hubby wasn't able to miss it. So that piece of trim that came loose
on our rental car earlier and we stopped to have it fixed back in Birmingham?  Well, it's
loose again.

But under her watchful eye, we made it safe and sound. 

.      *      .

And the Deer (Angels) continue to show up.

Smiling warmly because when I called our insurance company earlier this week to adjust 
our coverage to include our rental for this trip, the kind agent said that, as we'd been talking,
she'd been watching a sweet little fawn outside of their office window!

Then, our trip in had several glitches ... all more on the smallish side but had to be worked 
thru before we could continue on ... and we pulled into the hotel at 12:52 a.m. this morning 
(1:52 a.m. our time). Not too long before we arrived here, a doe crossed the road in front of 
us. 

As I sat resting in a hot bath this morning, a fond smile spread. What if all of the "glitches" 
were timed so that this dear little one would be crossing the winding country road at just the 
right time?

Indeed, it appears that all is well.

Timely Third

Well, lookie here! 

A third beauty awakens. . .

Abiding this morning in 
her gentle lesson 
that while it might feel late, 
both to those around us who have already nodded off 
and to our own aching hearts?

We all bloom in our own time. 

Indeed, there is a time for every season. 

❤️

Being Seen :: Open and Willing

May is my birthday month
and tends to be a tender one for me.

As a way to practice good self-care
and also to ensure that I'll remember to 
practice seeing and witnessing myself, 
I'm grateful for the opportunity to take
Liz Lamoreux's Being Seen e-course.

It actually starts in the morning
but I'm ready to begin now.

Open and Willing
