Celebrating every day life

On Valentine's Day, I invited some friends over for a light dinner- roasted butternut squash soup and a simple salad of mixed greens from our garden.
Spinach, arugula and kale



We made Valentine collages! - Loving kindness images and inspiration to ourselves. As women, mothers, sisters, aunts, wives, friends, we work so hard at giving that I thought it would be a nice switch-up to spend a few hours nurturing ourselves. What kind of Valentine would you make for YOU?  We cut magazine images, glued, and artfully arranged our cards to represent an aspiration of love. I hope we can all look at them daily in a prominent place. I have. I am adding bit by bit to my loving kindness card and learning to put myself back in the equation and helping to remind my friends to do the same.


A quote from my card reads: Celebrating the sacred in every day life.

I like that reminder.

Would you consider making a loving kindness card for you?
