Yes! "Not every feeling needs to become a moment." May we remember to take a breath before diving into big feelings, dear Readers.

Friday on, dear Readers! What one-moment-at-a-time will you be "handling" as you are steering, not only this day, but as you head into the weekend? This moment we're in is the only moment we need to navigate...at THIS moment in time. I am shoulder to shoulder with you, asking this question of myself, as well. I am not a Friday warrior or a weekend warrior, just a supporter of the moment I am in, not allowing any other headlines to obstruct my moments of self preservation.

Our descriptions of what a glimmer is to us, is limitless.
Glimmers are whatever we need them to be, and once we've given ourselves THAT permission, dear Readers, we're most apt to see and feel them!
Self compassion, patience and the ability to find a glimmer of hope
are also great places to begin your glimmer journey d'jour! 💛✨💛

Thanks for your patience with the missed post for today( 3-11-26) dear Readers. I guess it was a day that needed me to "be selfish with my energy...". Ready for tomorrow's post! 🥰

I love this line from poem below, "...all things of the heart root for you on this new day." And I find myself thinking that's how we know when something IS truly from the heart...it cheers us on, never discouraging. It is only the head that throws in disparagement. May we listen with our hearts, dear Readers...not just our heads.

"Your new day is a gift to be opened, a new adventure to be unraveled. Emerge from the renewing dark of the night, brave and beautiful, with another day to live at hand and simply just go do that. Go live...not just merely exist but really and truly live. Your heart knows what to do. Trust it. Do something that fulfills it whether its a stroll through the park, or a few moments on your own to read a favorite book or write out some thoughts that have been fluttering inside you for a while. And know that all things of the heart root for you on this new day."

This seems an optimum way to start a brand new week off, dear Readers! Paying attention to our needs and then figuring out the best way to meet those needs.
Happy Monday, friends.

I'm just gong to set this right here, dear Readers. There's lots of thought expansion her, especially where self nurturing and reflection is concerned! That, and Cody Bret doesn't need my help, so read on!

Dear Readers, decluttering even a small but meaningful-to-you spot, indoors or out, can bring you a feeling of calm and peace just to be in that space. I can just feel our nervous systems exhaling a grateful thank you, can't you? Here's to a session of joy-filled space calming today!😌

Sorry for the later post this morning...we are distracted by plumbing issues at the Bradley household, but we are taking comfort in the very realistic hope, that TODAY is the day that the leak gets discovered and resolved! I guess being a "brave hoper" takes on many different forms. Stay the course of hope today, dear Readers. I'm right there beside you! 💜

How will you tend to your "hearth fire" burning in your chest today, dear Readers? What is today's source of the medicine called compassion?

"This speaks to how compassion functions as an inner source of steadiness, especially when life becomes tangled or painful. It suggests that difficulty is not something to defeat, but something to meet with presence so it can reveal its teachings. Creating beauty from that place becomes an act of healing, restoring balance within yourself and the wider world."

Good Morning, dear Readers! While I had a completely different reading lined up for this Monday morning, this crow from last year's reading flew into view. I decided to listen.
While it's just a bit of thoughtful whimsy, especially in light of recent world events, whimsy can be pretty good medicine!

"I love this image and have really learned to respect crows, since learning more about them in recent years!
My eyes also notice that the books are in a nest which we know is where life gets nurtured. It looks like crow is "feeding" something decent to the eggs yet to hatch, or at least have it at the ready for when they do, but seeing the book under its wing, I'd like to think some self nurturing is happening too!

How are you nurturing yourself, dear readers? What are you feeding yourselves? What do you want to "hatch" into life? May it be something that makes you grow in love, curiosity, wonder and kindness."

Robert Frost also penned, "The only way out is through."
Inaction cannot provide action, only action creates more action.
Even if we take a step in a direction that doesn't end up working for us after all, it will be the misdirected step ( which is still an action) that will guide us towards a direction that will serve us better in the end.
Carry on, dear Readers, and if possible bring a friend!
