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

Reflections

Many things have come to an end. Court cases. Co-dependent relationship. Many emotional struggles. False views. Bad habits. The home I've lived in for the past 6 years. Reflecting, I am aware that 2005 has been a clearing out year for me.

To move into the new year I had my first Reiki session yesterday. I have been waiting months for a friend who is a Reiki Master to guide me with this however she lives a very full life, respectfully. Which is well as the universe led me to an individual and I surrendered. I felt and still feel incredible sweetness in every cell of my being.

After my session I felt an urgency. To release it all. The reiki session has brought up a lot of forgotten memories and as the day progressed I liberated myself from the past with many individuals.

I am tremendously thankful for all that I've endured in the past 365 days. The year 2006 will be devoted to my continued spiritual growth. I promise to love everyone as God.
