Gratitude

We can all find ourselves in a downward spiral where life knocks us on our knees. When this happens the only thing we can truly control is our reaction.

As we get closer to our moving date,  things start to get a bit frayed at the edges - including my reactions.

So in the middle of the mini-storms that have come our way, I am keeping "I love my life" as my mantra. 

I am trying to focus on the blessings I have in my life - to be open and grateful of those aspects of my life that are shining bright instead of focusing on the darkness that tries to seep in.

Some days it may simply be that you are grateful for the deep breath that you just took or the smell of the ocean as you open your car windows.

What do you do during these times to remind yourself of your blessings?

Amazing Fractal 'flower of life'

Nivasa is inspired by  the Experience of the Natural World in all its Beauty and Truth, knowing that one needs the Freedom to choose objects which bring Light to Hearth and the Heart. 

This whole Earth is teeming with the Wonders of Life. 

When we reach out and touch the fabric we feel the ancientness of the Sands of the Sahara. 

When we sit amongst the cushions of the Kashmir sharing the fruit of the vine we are transported to the markets and bazaars beyond our everyday world. 

When we listen to the rain fall upon the roof and see its dancing pattern on a simple glass sunroof we reveal in ourselves our affinity with the dancing fractal patterns of nature. 

When we open our eyes in the morning light to the colours and textures of the art of our fellow beings that we share in our home, we are travelers on the eternal road of our living Earth.

What inspires you? What influences your Heart & Hearth?
