Is this an awkward Day for You

February always has one special day

 Valentines

Dona Anderson

It mostly seems to just be all about Love. 

But we can also let it help us celebrate friendships and show appreciation to others.  

It reminds us to enjoy those people around us, that are in our lives, that help support us each day and make our World a better place.

It can be a child, spouse, coworker, neighbor, friend, your pet or whoever it is for You. 

And, there are many situations where Valentines day can be a lonely, sad time, especially for those who are grieving, away from home or alone, but I like to think that Valentines can also be a day to celebrate ourselves. 

It can be a time to reward ourselves for how we live our life as best we can to be strong and healthy in body, mind and spirit. 

It's can be a day to remind us to love ourselves too, and a few flowers, chocolates or whatever your treat is, let it be a special Gift even if it's given to yourself.  

The enjoyment is still real, and You get what you want.

I'm sharing one of my favorite songs and thought we could all sing along to send some kindness, love, peace & hope out into the World. 

Also sending a Huge Thank You for Your continued support each week.

PS. A quote for you today. 

Something amazing happens when we surrender and just love. 

We melt into another world, a realm of power already within us. 

The world changes when we change. 

The world softens when we soften. 

The world loves us when we choose to love the world. 

~Marianne Williamson~

Take Care and have a wonderful day & week ahead.

A big wow today as this is post #700.

Pick one and see what you discover

 It's time for another True Treasures

Dona Anderson

What are true Treasures?

I share a lot from my books and True Treasures became a chance for me to share a bit more from a particular meditation. 

You can see previous True Treasures posts by linking to the label True Treasures at the bottom of the post.

 This one is from Words to Be savored and treasured 

  #27 on page 75 in  Moving Forward from the Heart. 

The meditation starts by asking you to select one thought from the list for your Meditation and see what you discover.

This is not the complete list but you can get a feeling for the intent of the meditation.

  

*Compliments should not be kept as thoughts, they should be given and also received.

*Some words can mean the same thing, but get a totally different response.

*A friendly greeting or acknowledgement can create a feeling of welcoming and belonging, and let someone know you care.

*Say words that match your happy heart and face.

*Talk about the way you want to be, and use your words to make your dreams come true"

It Got a Whole Lot Easier!

The Slope from Uncomfortable

to Comfortable

Finding Help for Yourself


Roots to Breath Wellness

Dona Anderson

The first time I went for massage therapy years ago I didn’t know what to do or how I’d feel after.  

Basically, I was a bit nervous and scared so this added even more stress to my sore back, shoulders and the rest of me.

The second time was better, and I knew it was needed, and that I was starting a wellness journey that would require a continued and perhaps a life long commitment from me. 

The third time I was excited to go. 

That allowed me to get more comfortable, relaxed and I was able to absorb & hold on to even more. 

Planting seeds for Change.

The beginning of the guided relaxation titled Peace Be Still on page 53 in Simply, One Breath At a Time, helps you to understand that even relaxation is a practice that develops over time.   

Here's how it starts ...

“Each time you think about relaxing, it becomes a little easier … your body starts of react sooner, to open, to sense the quiet, the stillness … your mind starts to let go of the thoughts, and move to the present moment …”

It goes on to connect you with your breath and then to release tension and stress throughout the body piece by piece.  

Have you heard something like this next part before?  

"Now let you face soften, your mouth, your eyes ... let your whole body soften as if it were melting in a spring thaw - gently, slowly, with the intention of renewal ..."

As I was writing this, I was melting too. 

Did you feel it ?

I'll end with this last message which sends you off into your Meditation 

"In this stillness you can find peace, 

you can hear your inner voice whisper,

peace be still ..."
