One Hug!
Breathe Life back into Your Day!
See what a Hug and a Breath can do ...

Enjoy this Meditation from my book,
One Hug
by Dona Anderson
There’s one hug and a breath waiting!
It’s waiting to be found as you soften to let go of stress, let go of struggles, and let go of thoughts.
It’s waiting to be found as you soften to let go of stress, let go of struggles, and let go of thoughts.
Allow any distractions you experience to move through you, and use your breath to bring the mind home to this present moment … allow only thoughts about relaxation to be in this moment.
Notice what is happening within and around you as you open up your arms wide to give yourself a big hug … gently rub or pat yourself wherever you can reach on the neck, back, shoulders, and arms … really feel the hug … feel both parts, the giving and the receiving … feel the comfort in being present right now.
Stay here a bit longer to just breathe one breath at a time … breathe in feelings of connection, reassurance, acceptance, love … breathe in feelings of safety.
Slowly return your arms to their resting place and let your body and mind settle again … let your next breaths fill your whole body with feelings of peace and calmness.
Begin to focus on the center of your heart and allow it to be full of a wondrous bright white light that is beaming with joy, and wants to sing out to the entire world … the songs of the heart are of love, courage, hope, compassion, and gratitude.
Remember your hug, did you feel these feelings, did you feel this fullness, this singing of your heart. In your heart songs you’ll hear words about beauty, smiles, warmth, and forgiveness, did you feel these in your hug … did you feel the magic of your life?
As you stay resting, you can also hear honesty, wisdom, and understanding in the words of your heart songs, and you can let this moment lead you further into a place of nourishment and restorative healing.
Visualize the beautiful light from your heart moving now through your body and spreading your songs. Embrace the energy of the light and the words, embrace the feelings of your songs as they circulate within and then around you.
Is there some left to give away, to offer out to others? You can send others your heart songs to help them also come to a place for nourishment and restorative healing.
One hug and a conscious breath have connected you
to your heart and out into the world …
One hug and a breath opened you to
what is precious, what truly is important
and to what truly makes all
what is precious, what truly is important
and to what truly makes all
our hearts light up and sing …
Rest for a few minutes and then return to your day!

Information Changes - Another go at it!

This year I thought more about how I didn't want to keep books that kept me in the past whether it was recipes, information, health, lifestyle, finance, designs, decorating etc. I wanted to have and make room for books that support me now and into the future.
Our world is constantly changing and we are changing how we live,
how we think, work, and how
we spend our at home and leisure time.
New technology keeps changing how we read, find information, listen to music, talk to each other, watch a movie and many of us don't even have a current family photo album around any more to sit with or show our friends.
Decluttering the mind also seems to be another huge task to take on. Who really wants to stay stuck with old patterns, actions, or old thoughts and beliefs that don't serve our lives and our world?
Each generation changes as patterns, thoughts,
beliefs, technology, science, and information changes.
Let's keep moving forward and make a world that is full of compassion and then everything else will fall into place. Let's support the whole earth and our future.

She's Here!
Moving Forward from the Heart
She's here and beautiful ...
Dona Anderson
Wonderful week for me that started with my Birthday!
One thing I've learned even more lately is that it is Great to be getting older as I don't want the alternative.
Then on Wednesday we got to drive down island to pick up my new books!
It was a beautiful sunny day for this special 2 hour drive.
It was a quick exchange from one car to another in a parking lot with the amazing Johanna, who looked after it all for me.
After not seeing Johanna for a long time and only connecting through email, and to have her bring the books part way for us, I really felt like crying. But luckily that switched to just being exhausted instead as Johanna had to leave right away to head off somewhere else.

| Update photo for you! |
I'm at a Christmas Faire this weekend I'll take
some pictures to share with you.
Johanna is working on a new website that I will share it with you when it's available.

Decorating Tips
The Dog Did It
Dona Anderson
What else goes on in my world?
Meet Lucy, our Scottish Terrier puppy 1 1/2 years old.
She's wonderful and a true friend. She cuddles, loves walks, isn't a pig, twirls in circles, makes funny noises, loves to play, and good at decorating (?)
She also likes being a hunter gatherer in the garden. She's a lover of snap peas, green beans and how can you resist the apples.
The first apples to fall are hard and green so they make good toys to play with and then later on - well you also get to dig holes to bury the apples you might need later.
I had to take this photo and I think she did really well with the placement of the 3 toys and
then apple all by itself.
then apple all by itself.
Do you agree?
For me I always refer to my dogs as puppies. Our other girl Chloe almost 13 years is also our puppy. I guess that started for me when dogs changed to being people with fur. Once when someone called another dog we had a senior I replied " no she's a puppy"
OK, I've repeatedly told them that they have to live forever.
What else is in your world?
Thanks for your visit and there's lots of other posts to check out and share!

Begin with the End in Mind
What do you do for a Living?
Used to be a normal Question
Dona Anderson
 |
| Dona Anderson |
What do you do for work to pay the bills. may not be the same as what you do for your Living.
Different questions.
The first one is easy, we have to pay the bills so we have a job that does that.
The hard question to answer for many of us is, What do you do for Your living?
What is Your way of Living?
What is Your life about, Your leisure time, Your interests, Your wants, dreams?
What makes You happy?
What do You do to support and nourish Yourself?
The Meditation titled Visions for the Future in my book Moving Forward from the Heart reminds us to think about who we are now, and what we want in life now and in the future.
Here are 2 questions:
What are you doing when you feel most like yourself?
What makes you happy each day?
I could add lots more questions here but you get the point and that's a good place to start.
When you think about these questions do you start to see habits, patterns, values, images?
Don't answer all this today. Take one at a time and see what slowly emerges.
Just know, You can keep making changes to the scenery.
Moving Forward from the Heart is now available,
