My Everyday Magic

THE MORE YOU COME HERE, THE BETTER YOU FEEL!

On days like this, when I have a lot to do, I find it really helpful to keep things as simple as possible. First, move anything that isn’t really essential from the “must do” list to the “extra credit” list. :-) Even if these lists are just in my mind, it makes a big difference how I think about them, and things go better when I’m gentle with myself.

My simple magic:

Rain! I am loving the sound of the rain falling.  It was pouring last night! And everywhere we walk there is splashing and dripping and water running along. I am also very comforted to know that the drought we’ve been in is easing.

My kitties! They know all about simple, sensual magic!  I love the sound of their purring when I stroke them, and the feel of their soft fur, and the way they snuggle next to, or on top of me when I get into bed.  I know I list them here nearly every time, and it’s because they are such a blessing to me!

My 8yo son who loves to start the day with snuggles! Lots of snuggles!

Green!  Everywhere I look outside there is bright spring green, and it seems greener after each rainfall!

Easy travel weather predicted for tomorrow when I’ll be driving for hours, and sunshine and warm temps predicted for my brother’s wedding!

Finding ways to make this weekend work for everyone concerned… including me!

Homemade kefir, plain or in smoothies.  It fuels my life.

Finding a pair of dressy sandals (which I need for the wedding) at the consignment shop yesterday… and they were 20% off!

Taking a moment to breathe and be present and enjoy the simple things can be deeply nourishing. I hope you will notice the many small pleasures in your day today and share them here with all of us! Feel free to share big or complicated magic, too, of course: we enjoy hearing about it all! :-)

 

Cookin’ up some Magic! January 19, 2012

Well, it’s winter time (at least for a lot of us!) and I for one especially love to fire up the kettle, the oven and/or the crock pot on cold winter days!  This week so far I’ve been using my sourdough starter to make cornbread, pancakes and (for the first time) cinnamon rolls!  I think tomorrow I may simmer some chai, and on Friday make some soup…

We also use our thoughts to cook things up.  Are you warming yourself with thoughts of love and appreciation?  Are you cooking up some dreams of how you want your life to be?  I hope you are nourishing yourself with good stories, lots of beauty, and great connections with wonderful beings!

MEM:

A lovely walk with boy and dog  in the windy chill.

Chatting a little with someone we often see on our walks.  Usually we just smile and say hello, but this time we exchanged names, and it was very sweet.

Sourdough!!!

Discussing with my hubby which would go better with his intensely dark chocolate mousse: the chocolate stout or the porter?  We went with the latter and it worked very well.

Finding the energy to do lots of dishes, even though it was late in the evening… because I love waking up to a clean (or mostly clean) kitchen!

Really enjoying reading a novel!

Snuggles with my boy!  And with my cats!

Time delay on posting so I can write this late evening and it’s up early in the morning, even if I’m not!

Please share what delightful delicious magic you are cooking up today!
