The Joy Of a New Season

“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.” ― Lao Tzu

Fall Bouquet.

The joy of a new season is about new beginnings.
It is about continuous gratitude and welcoming the sacred into our life and space.

I hope you find joy, stay the course, or turn over a new leaf as you welcome the new season.

Fairy Stepping Stones

JM Perez By JM Perez1 min read693 views

Today my kids and I took great pleasure in painting a set of twelves Lily and fairy stepping stones.

These stepping stones were purchased over twelve years ago and as time went by, their colors faded. Last Friday, we collected and cleaned them up, then we proceeded to give them a new life.

Fairy Stepping Stone. When fairies sing … flowers blossom.

– Fairies dance … among the butterflies
– When fairies sing … flowers blossom
– Fairies dream in the morning dew.

The Lily stepping stones were the easiest to paint. We spray painted each stone a different color and concentrated on the filaments and anthers.

These stepping stones all have a metal tooth hanger attached to the back so they can easily be hung or displayed on any wall. For our project however, we used screws to hold the stepping stones in place since we wanted to angle them rather than hang them straight.

WONDERFUL MOTHER
by Pat O’Reilly

God made a wonderful mother,
A mother who never grows old;
He made her smile of the sunshine,
And He molded her heart of pure gold;
In her eyes He placed bright shining stars,
In her cheeks fair roses you see;
God made a wonderful mother,
And He gave that dear mother to me.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful Moms out there!
