Invest in yourself...

....think quality not quantity. Be strong. Be patient. Pray. Take hot baths. 

Buy bubble bath. Buy bubbles to blow. Wake up early.

Do yoga. Write. Find a friend who truly listens to you.

Study. Read. Write some more.

Book a VRBO for a night away.

Write this day down, write it all down.

Cry. Feel homesick. Learn to be in silence.

Learn to stand being alone.  Drink good coffee and tea.

Eat chocolate while watching your favorite reality show.

Meditate. Stretch. Breathe Deep. Dance.

Buy overpriced coffee. Learn to be with yourself.

notes....

rainy morning, door open, smells like fall

quite content to just sit and savor this morning

meditate

being nudged on patience this week...

stillness and quiet seem to be enveloping me

in a very good way...

~

engage patience with your whole heart

self-pressure slows everything down

and makes it harder

let go of the time-table pressure

let the journey take its course

become more aware of your need for patience

every time something thwarts your plans or desires

use it as a reminder to practice patience 

practice in all the little disappointments of daily life

reframe setbacks as an opportunity to practice patience

"But let patience have her perfect work, 

that you may be perfect and complete,

lacking nothing."

James 1:4

be well...

"In a world drowning in fake,

people are craving what's real,

whole, and Holy.

When the spirit is nourished,

the body always follows."

~Dr. Will Cole~

"Nourishment isn't just food...

nourish your mind

nourish your soul

nourish your spirit

nourish your heart

nourish your body

nourish your nervous system.

A full plate was never the same as

a full life."

~Dr. Will Cole~

"A recent study found that having just one

meaningful conversation with a friend each day

can boost happiness, lower stress, and reduce

feelings of loneliness.

Connection is essential for health.

~Dr. Mark Hyman~
