Weekly Website

Etsy

An online marketplace for selling and buying all things handmade!

It's like shopping at the artists market, but from your own home. I discovered the website just in time for Christmas and along with my trip to Blue Banana Market in Toronto, have managed to get almost everyone on my list home made gifts.


Contemplation

Every morning, when we wake up, we have twenty-four brand-new hours to live. What a precious gift! We have the capacity to live in a way that these twenty-four hours will bring peace, joy, and happiness to ourselves and others.

Peace is present right here and now, in ourselves and in everything we do and see. The Question is whether or not we are in touch with it. We don't have to travel far away to enjoy the blue sky. We don't have to leave our city or even our neighborhood to enjoy the eyes of a beautiful child. Even the air we breathe can be a source of joy.

We can smile, breathe, walk, and eat our meals in a way that allows us to be in touch with the abundance of happiness that is available. We are very good at preparing to live, but not very good at living. We know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma, and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. But we have difficulty remembering that we are alive at the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive.

Every breath we take, every step we make, can be filled with peace, joy, and serenity. We need only to be awake, alive in the present moment. ... Thich Nhat Hanh

Dance of Surrender

The energy is this house is old. My room is perfect for meditation. My l'il spot is right next to a large window, which in the morning brings in beautiful warm sunshine.

During meditation last night I had an overwhelming urge for guidance. Not a 'helpless' or 'hopeless' sensation, more of a sensation of surrendering to All. Yeah, surrendering :-) I could feel a smile form on my face and silently I requested guidance from Kundalini Shakti. Within moments of my surrenderance, my limbs began to lightly tremble and my torso began to sway. I felt so beautiful in the presence of this [my] energy. It has gracefully carried through today with me and even now still I can feel this wonderful, peaceful energy within me.
