One Rose Wellness Message

When One Rose will do ...

Messages are from the pages of Simply, One Breath At a Time

                         
Dona's Dream - help others and send wellness out into the world. 

A great message for you today.


Because you can,

start to see 
and feel

 the beauty in you,

see your 
uniqueness,

your powers,

your strengths ...



Because You Can. I can. We all CAN.

Check out your Uniqueness.

Your Powers.

Your Strengths.

Think about You and not those other people that come to mind.

Gratefully accept a compliment.

Acknowledge and support what You're good at.

None of us can do Everything.

I know I can do things that I don't recognize as anything special but it is to someone else, and you can do things that I can't, don't or I'm not good at.  That's OK, Good.

We get to do that Balance thing.

We get to support others, get help, buy from the bakery!

It's like all those shelves and rows of other stuff in the grocery store that you don't buy.  Someone else does because they use it, like it, know what it is.  That's good and over the years I'm learning  a bit about what some of it is.

We all have things we like or don't, are natural at or not, remember or not.

I think this message was the inspiration for some of the writing in my new book. Moving Forward from the Heart.

On the back cover of Moving Forward from the Heart it says:

Rediscover the gifts you already possess

Rekindle your spirit to be able to offer you best self out to the world

Discover your own true self when you slow down and listen.

START WHERE YOU ARE!

Who's Humming in the Kitchen

Secret Ingredients.


Is it time for a few different ingredients, tastes and textures? 

Dona Anderson


Have you eaten some new or interesting things lately


My first post about my Husband ... and Soup

Mulligatawny Soup
He really likes soup.

Besides opening up lots of cans of soup, the last several years he has also made a variety of different fresh ones.  

Each time he'll spend a few hours in the kitchen chopping, simmering and humming.

Yes humming.

Several reasons for the humming. 

He enjoys making it and he enjoys sharing what he's made with others. Most of the time it is specially made with someone mind.

This is similar to the yearly making of the cabbage rolls. After they get into the freezer he enjoys giving take out packages of supper to others.

And YES, he shares his summer garden produce as well.

Back to the Soup.


The soup in the picture was made with love and a list of ingredients that at first were a bit odd for us with coconut, a banana and an apple.

The recipe comes from the book nom nom paleo and this soup is Mulligatawny. Quite different from other ones we've had and so far the best. WE LOVE IT..

What is Paleo

I think the secret ingredient is the delicious homemade bone broth that simmered on low in a slow cooker for 24 hours.  You can use store bought broth but this is so much better.

The spice he choose this time was Turkish curry (from  World Spice Merchants in Seattle)

There's something about all the goodness that goes into home cooking and thinking about where the ingredients come from.  

No can or package this time.

Both the broth and soup recipe he used were from the book and there's lots of other recipes online.

Shop around for soup bones, our Farmers Market was the best place.

If you are stuck in the same old routine, 
check out the links provided above for some ideas and inspiration. 


Thank you for your visit.

Conflicting to Amazing


Everything Starts to be Amazing





From Moving forward from the Heart

Meditation #66


Dona Anderson



It's a conflicting time of year trying to get back to normal life again after another wonderful summer of sunshine, lots of delicious fresh food from the garden, outings and a few lazy days.

Here's some help to refocus on the present moments in your day.

Enjoy, and thanks for sharing with others.


Everything starts to be amazing when each day
I am the best I am able to be.

Everything starts to be amazing when I begin from a 
place of peace, presence, and wellness.

Everything starts to be amazing when I feel the
richness of my next breath and how it connects me to the world

Everything starts to be amazing when I focus on
all that I am able to do,

When I am grateful
for all that I already have,

When I see 
simplicity, harmony, beauty and joy
as being part of my everyday life,

and

Everything is amazing when
I receive the gift of another day to see the love and kindness
in your Sweet, Sweet Smile.

Do small things with great Love ~ Mother Teresa

Compassion Stones 
always gifted ~ never sold



Gifts from the Heart

Dona Anderson


I'd like to introduce you to Carolin Post from Calgary, Alberta Canada 

Carolin is shining her beautiful light out to others through her artwork and inspiring messages.

I first saw her artwork on Facebook when she was drawing in the sand while on vacation, and her messages are now travelling the world as they go into the hands and hearts of so many.

She leaves her Compassion Stones in random places for people to find. 

Imagine finding this beautifully packaged Compassion Stone on a statue, sitting on a bench in a mall or park, some even took a ride on a cruise ship to Alaska. 

She also has extended her Compassion Stones out to support local organizations, hospitals and makes other special deliveries.

The journey continues from the giver to the receiver  - both sharing in the gifts each stone brings for love, peace and happiness. 

Each stone is numbered.

I received # 443 in June and I know she has been busy painting so I can't imagine what number she is up to now. I'm sure well over 500.





I alone cannot change the world but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples ~ Mother Teresa

Carolin ~ you are sending so many ripples out into the world.
Thank You.


I can hear the angels overhead singing with JOY!
