New posts every Tuesday.

Amazing to watch ... this  is incredible.

Remember the Star Trek Movie years ago when they brought a whale onboard. I don't think it was one of these.

I love to be able to see all these wonderful species from around the world. 

We used to only see some in books and now we get to see them for real.

I hope you enjoyed this video.

Here's another great video to check out 

if you missed it before or want to watch again.

Have a great day & thanks for your visit.

Dona's photo - message from
Simply, One Breath At a Time.

A Calm Breath for Breathing...

We do it all day long but do we pay much attention to it.

Our breathing connects us to our inner self, our organs, heart, and lungs that are nourished, move and open up space for circulation to help us stay healthy and relaxed.

Have you thought about your posture and how sitting with head forward and rounded shoulders makes us shorter and not letting the breath move as it should.

And, if we're grumpy and frown instead of relaxed and smiling we've also shortened the breath. Shallow breathing also affects the body.

Let your next breaths softly fill your body ... 

as you do this a few times, also let your  

face, eyes and shoulders soften ...

Notice each breath opening 

and then leaving your body.

Feel the coolness of the in breath, 

and then the warmth of the out breath ...

Be part of this exchange, 
part of the simple gifts of life.

I picked a Rose Wellness Message
for us today that says ... 

I invite my next breaths to bring me
to a place to smile and be present,
a place to notice beauty, 
and a place to find joy ...

One Rose Wellness Cards

I invite my next breaths to bring me

to a place to smile and be present,

a place to notice beauty, and

a place to find joy ...

Is it time to rediscover your breath.

PS. Lots of times in our lives we have to think about how our body breathes, our posture and see if we need to make some adjustments.

* This can be our reminder
*I needed it too.

Beautiful Music 

by this Youth Orchestra

I was introduced to this piece late last year after I started learning to play the Cello.

It's very soothing and the Youth Orchestra is inspirational and makes me wonder what they'll be doing in their future.

I hope it's Music. 

There're more variations on You Tube

for you to pick your favorite.

Take Care & have a wonderful week.

Hope you'll visit again next week.

I have a lot of practicing to do in my future.

The gift of Breath for you today.

We're going to Simply, One Breath At a Time for another post in the True Treasures series.

So much to love 

And today I've got a shortened version of the ending from the relaxation titled Four Breaths on page 109. 

After you start to get relaxed we go to see what these four breaths offer us. 

I think you'll enjoy these ... only a few minutes of your time but they can provide you with comfort, presence, awareness and a smile. 

* With this breath I offer myself a smile ... a smile warms and uplifts my body ... 

* With this breath, say, I will get in touch with my inner self, and accept where I am at this moment ... 

* With this breath, I will find beauty and pleasure in simple everyday things ... 

* With this breath, I've learned that if I smile, bring my true  self and a new freshness to life, life will allow me to blossom, I will find joy in myself. 

💚 It ends with being invited to a place to smile, breathe, be present and to notice beauty in things - a place t find Joy.

Namaste & Take Care.

When you hear his His name you know

something beautiful is coming ...

As a new Cello beginner I appreciate this even more.

In my imagination, I feel the notes and movements of the bow where those sweet sounds are played.

Please Enjoy this peaceful music and slideshow.

So Relaxing,

feels like a Lullaby

that I didn't want to end.

So I played it over and over.

If  you've visited here frequently you will

have noticed I have Many Favorite Songs!

Can't help it - so much to like.

If you're still in the New Years' spirit or just want to stand up, sing and dance around - please go for it. 

I did a few times, and it's great for just letting yourself move and sing to let go of Stress and get your Smile on.

We really need all of us together singing loudly and protecting our Wonderful World before it's too late.

Change is happening so fast ...

Thank You.

Needing a few more moments to soften,

breathe and let your heart sing.

Very glad I found this video in the Archives (December 2015) when I went looking for past posts to put in the Christmas combo I did in November.

I listened and fell in love with it all over again. Song first recorded in 1967.

Christmas Word Game ~ © Dona Anderson

I give a paper copy of this out at the couple of Christmas shows I go to and visitors love to get a few for their children or to do themselves just for fun.

It's like a mini Meditation to just sit and discover the words or sometimes one will have a special meaning that day to sit with for a few minutes.

Enjoy!

Here's a link to another word game, this one for the Heart.

Did you have Fun?
