Morning

Spending an hour each morning communing with nature…connecting…embracing a groundedness to begin a new day with an open heart filled with divine love... essential for peace and harmony.

This Story of the Day was timely…as usual. 

A morning vision in the divine secret garden, lounging in a white Adirondack chair…covered with a “memory throw”…drinking morning tea with sweet angels…breathing deep the sweetness of the magnolia and mimosa blossoms…smiling, hearing the children’s giggles as they climb the trees…hearing the good morning chirps of the Mr. and Mrs…feeling the cool breeze...HG kisses on a wrist…and ALL is right with the world!!

...Have you ever seen the rain.......sing it LOUD....

Bonjour...& happy birthday ma grande!!
