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.


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

Cloudless Skies

I was not graced with a peaceful sleep last night. Graphic and contemptible dreams again are invading what hours I do rest. I awoke in sweat and shaking from a rather unsettling dream last night that left me laying restless in bed for the remaining few hours I had before the sun rose. It involved someone I know and he was terribly violent. In the dream he portrayed all that can be called wicked. I am puzzled as to why this particular person is in my dreams as late and to why he is taking such a forcible and erratic role in them. I suppose they are just dreams and I really shouldn't be overly concerned with them.

Another Sunday to myself and I enjoyed it quite thoroughly. Lots of rest and relaxation in my sunny bedroom, nuzzling with the cats and a book. Haven't read anything in a long time, the desire just hasn't been there.

Kriya's have heightened both in and out of meditation. I am assuming the massage I received has helped to open up some blockages I've had.

A part of myself was reclaimed in my last session, through our inner-child work. It is becoming increasingly clear (as a cloudless sky) how this inner blueprint was/is projected into my relationships with others.
