Share the Joy Thursday–A Mermaid Mandala

I made a mandala to day from sea shells and flowers from around my house.

The yellow ones are from a little bouquet of flowers that decorated the guest room for my mom during her recent visit.

The shells were all gathered with my Mom when we visited the beach at Fort Desoto multiple times over our week.

The beach was the very best part of our time together.

Two happy beach bums were we !

The turquoise background and the shells also reminded me of my favorite Mermaid piece in the studio.

Together they make a pretty altar

dedicated to my love of my new seaside life

and to the joy of having my Mom visit my new home.

Little joys and sweet beauty brought together by my own creative hand.

Love that.

So much joy to be celebrated.

Thank you for the sweet visit, Mommy. I love you so much !

 

Got Joy you want to share ?

Meri does it every week at Love, Meri.

 

And I was glad to jump in today !

 

Have a joy-full Thursday, Beautiful Ones !

Share the Joy Thursday - Lanai Weather

It is only 70 degrees here this morning! And mostly dry! 

I had to move myself outside on to the lanai and take advantage of the weather.

I've got my journal, some bits of arty things I'm working on and my coffee cup.

And here I sit, comfortably outside in our outdoor space ! 

Chica is joining me for the sweet morning bird song. I think I like this Florida fall.

Have a joyful Thursday! 

For more joy sharing visit Meri at http://meriak.blogspot.com/ each Thursday. 

Rock Messages : We are One

When I go to the sea

I remember that I am a part of it all.

Breathing, the ebb and flow, earth, water, sky…

I remember too,

that it is all a part of me.

Rock Messages : Slow Down…

“You drive like someone is chasing you.”

Those were the words of the driving test instructor who tested me when I was 31 and getting my license for the first time.

I am 49 now and those words still ring in my head every once in awhile.

Isn’t that strange how when the Universe is giving you an important life message, and it is coming through another person, those words are highlighted, circled in an echo of sorts that makes them just ring in your soul ?

This was obviously a pretty strong message if I am still remembering it 18 years later.

The message to slow down…

to claim my own space on the road…

to be present, mindful…

to Be.

Thanks for the reminder, Universe.

I’m listening.
