well, this is a first for a while.....i actually have my mantra card ready for the monday posting. YAY! the trip to the lake yesterday was just what i needed to ground and refresh my spirit. i love walking in nature or sitting by the beach just taking in nature's beauty....it's times like these where i feel totally connected....so this reflects in my mantra/affirmation card today -

ReplyDeleteYour Mantra is lovely as always. I always feel grounded after being out in nature also.
Hi there, I just found your blog through Darla's site, and I'm so glad I did! What a wonderful blog and beautiful art you make!!! I'm in Canberra so you can imagine how cold it is down here and your photo of your son in his 'winter' clothes made me laugh. I think it's going to be about -2 tonight!!! Take care I shall now be following your blog!
ReplyDeleteIt really says something about where I place truly lies when we can take a step into nature and feel the welcome of home in our souls. Your card and stones capture all of that. What a wonderful lake to have at hand to enjoy. Thank you for sharing it with us. Have a wonderful day, Serena!
ReplyDeletePeace~

wow! I love the day you had yesterday. getting out and about in nature is the key to happiness I am sure of it! I like the mantra this week too. I have just been researching the montessori and waldorf philosophies for raising children, and whilst I still need to read more, they seem to be big on honouring the seasons. I am all for that!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful mantra card Serena!
ReplyDeleteLove the pics...and this is your winter? Looks like summer here! LOL
Hope the spider didn't stay at your picnic long! yikes!

I am in harmony with nature. I like that and also the painting on it. Just beautiful. Glad you got rejuvenated by your walk. It's been so hot I haven't felt like walking but I really need to get back to moving my body soon.
ReplyDeleteSerena,
ReplyDeleteThis is my first visit to your site and I am so impressed. Your art is beautiful and I loved the pictures of the lake. WOW. I'm really glad I ended up here and I will be back:~)
Very fitting mantra card with your recharging and grounding trip to the lake. I sure hope that spider was smaller than it looks! You do have a winter paradise--except for the spiders--hehe! :):)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful as usual! Except for that spider! Sheesh...it looks really BIG!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! I especially love the ducks. :o)
