Today’s Shot 3
Wherever I travel, I come across interesting resting spaces. They seem to call to me from roadways, from under trees and within gated sanctuaries.
I found an enormous magnolia tree today and beneath its gigantic, sheltering arms, was a resting space for one, nestled within the fallen leaves.

Love Moon
The New Moon In Libra works with Venus the planet of love. It is a good time for new beginnings and fresh starts, and for setting goals and intentions.
Love is an energy. It is friendship. It is family. It is romantic love. It has many faces and comes in many ways, shapes and forms.
A part of bringing more love into our lives and opening up to receive it, is to begin releasing attachments: attachments to “who”, “when” and “how.” Let go of what you think love has to look like and open your heart to simply receive love in all her many forms.
Inhale the vibration of love
Exhale, and let go of “who”
Inhale the vibration of deep connection
Exhale, and let go of “when”
Inhale the vibration of passion
Exhale, and let go of “how”
Instead of thinking that love has to be a specific person, at a specific time and in a specific way, make a list of what love “feels” like to you. Whether it is friendship, family or romantic love; whether it is an existing love or new, love feels like:
It feels like security
It feels like a warm fire on a cold night
It feels like a cool pool of water in the heat of the day
It feels delicious
It feels caring
It feels devoted
It feels like sharing
It feels like laughter
It feels like sparkle and sunshine
It feels like being heard
It feels like abundance
It feels healthy
It feels balanced
It feels mutual
It feels like Anam Cara
It feels tender
It feels everlasting
It feels like hugs
It feels like kindness
It feels like understanding
It feels like a shoulder to lean on
It feels like a solid foundation
It feels like standing on holy ground
It feels like connection
It feels like peacefully sharing space
It feels like communion
It feels like angels all around
It feels like kindred spirits
It feels like magic
It feels like adoring presence
It feels like companionship
It feels equal
It feels spiritual
It feels like being enough
It feels like comfort
It feels like coming home.
Love is here now, in each of us. And, for each of us.
Another part of receiving is giving thanks.
So after making a list, spend some time in gratitude for your blessings now, and for new ones on their way!!

Who Now?
by Beth Haley
If you were to remove the titles of all of the roles that you play in life (mother, friend, partner, daughter, son, sister, brother, yoga teacher, jogger, swimmer, computer programmer) and instead, focused on what those roles bring out in you, or bring to you (security, love, caring, sharing) or what it is about these roles that you like or that fulfill you, what would a journal entry titled, “Who am I?” look like now?
What makes you the happiest? How can you create your life around the elements which bring you the greatest joy?

Instead of asking “why” when your expectations don’t match your reality – ask, “What am I leaning?”

Post-It Notes 15
“Hygge moments are the small everyday moments that make you happy. The best of them are bright and shining like stars. Having a word for it makes you aware that they are right in front of your eyes. Ready for you to collect.”

Palm Tree
by Beth Haley
A great exercise to strengthen your ankles, and calves as well, is the Palm Tree.
Sit in a chair, or stand in Mountain Pose with your hands lightly touching a wall. As you inhale, raise your heels up as far up as is comfortable. Exhale and bring them back down. Repeat 5 to 10 times

Irony

Trains, Trains, and by all means! One more moving. I am not sure why, but when I’m taking a picture of a train… one always seems to fly by.
And, the shot I was really after:
