FAVORITES


I had a wonderful idea pop into my mind . . .naming my FAVORITE 'THINGS' just to bring them to consciousness! I LOVE a great many 'things' and want to share them with you.
To begin with, here are some of the most SIGNIFICANT events in my life. You might call them FAVORITES because they were so meaningful!

 Graduating from college /teaching, working  in a dress shop in high school, marrying and having my children, having an organizing business for 22 years, working for an organization and co-ordinating workshops, having my 'colors done'. (This means having a professional guide me in the most becoming colors to wear and use in my environment.THIS changed my life in opening my eyes as to who I really am in terms of presentation!)

FAVORITE COLOR   turquoise, FAVORITE FLOWER  Sarah Berhardt pink peony, FAVORITE OUTDOOR PLANT, Bouganvilla, FAVORITE  INDOOR PLANT, bird's nest ferns

FAVORITE FOODS, soups and stews, FAVORITE BEVERAGE,black tea, FAVORITE BREADS, french,

FAVORITE PLACES TO HANG OUT, home, FAVORITE NATURE, (woods, mountains, birds, )trees,

FAVORITE PLACE, our cabin in mountains, Wyo. growing up

FAVORITE VACATION  England, garden tour, FAVORITE PAST TIME, gardening, FAVORITE CREATIVITY, writing

FAVORITE ENTERTAINMENT, movies, FAVORITE SONG, "Somewhere Over The Rainbow"

FAVORITE SINGER (MALE) Andrea Bottelli, FEMALE SINGER                         FAVORITE MOVIE 'Sound of Music'

These are my best FAVORITES that come to mind. I have many other things I dearly love and run a close second here. It is just INVIGORATING to recall these FAVORITES and see what comes up next. I'll probably thing of dozens of memories I might call FAVORITES as well. It is good for me to keep to one for purposes of this 'exercise'.

PLEASURES BLEEDING HEART When I look around the VILLAGE, I find more and more scenes, activities, support and people that give me PLEASURE. It’s so easy for me to experience new aspects of my life at the Village. So much is available here and I’m open to more adventures everyday. There are several activities I want to try. One PLEASURE I have done is watercolor painting and I intend to do more of that. The activities I enjoy every week are exercise classes, swimming, gardening, meeting new people, writing my blog, teaching classes, my garden and generally enjoying each day to see what comes up. Every night when I get into bed at night I give thanks for a most rewarding and surprising day!  Remember, you can rotate activities, or stagger them and you can rest whenever you want to! I love this new attitude I have adopted because I no longer fret and plan each day to the fullest. I derive much more satisfaction from being free and spontaneous a great deal of the time.

Easter Lily RISING We all know the feeling of RISING; An uplift, an awakening, an experience of   a breakthrough and the opening of the heart. Even thinking about the sun RISING can be an uplift. It is also the Phoenix RISING out of the ashes. That is such a powerful image for me. I have just experienced a RISING, a huge avalanche of experiences that have been profound. My daughter and her fiancé visited me that was wonderful. It was a sort of mission that we were all on that was truly amazing.   I also sold my car to a very lovely woman that appreciates it and it was so effortless! As I was about to leave an appointment Friday, the power went out from the storm. I could not access the Village to come get me, nor Uber. I met a woman who was so wonderfully friendly and kind and offered me a ride back to the Village. I was stunned. We talked like we had known each other for years. We had lunch and have become friends. Again effortless. Somewhere in the mix, I had

DELIGHT This is one of my favorite words! The sight of it, the sound of it and the meaning of DELIGHT . . . DELIGHTS ME. I begin my day by opening my blinds and looking out to the trees and the lake, every morning! Then I see the ducks waddling about and the magnificent egret(s) prancing around. Lately I’ve watched the Whistling ducks, I saw a mama, daddy and 3, yes 3 tiny babies running then swimming together! Such a DELIGHT! More and more I am enamored with NATURE. I can always fine something that makes me NOTICE something that is present that perhaps I never NOTICED before. Sometimes it is as simple as a limb on an old oak tree, or the markings on the Muscovy ducks. A DELIGHT is more than just in Nature. I have recently had a few conversations with people that were completely DELIGHTFUL! It makes me feel so uplifted and grateful to know them and share in some special conversations. It stays with me for a long time. The key for me is to listen to them
