My husband & I hoped from the bottom to the top, and it was the most exhilarating experience of my life. And then the view from the top of that Rock (not to mention the waterfall on the other side of the mountain) was the most beautiful, magical thing I've ever seen and felt. I've been in the mountains before and have done some hikes, but never anything like this. I felt God, and I fel...All kinds of things! But yesterday’s hike up Chimney Rock in NC was a real ‘come alive’ experience for me. My husband & I hoped from the bottom to the top, and it was the most exhilarating experience of my life.

I’ve been in the mountains before and have done some hikes, but never anything like this. I felt God, and I felt all of that incredible energy. I’m taking some of it home with me 😊 Read More6 Reply Malag11 months agoMalagGetting vertical after a night’s sleep. 3 Reply dcdeb11 months agodcdebOrange oil, exercise, evenings, good food. 3 Reply Holly in Ohio11 months agoHolly in OhioI love orange oil, too, Deb! 🙂 2 Reply Lauryn11 months agoLaurynMusic, travel, nature, love and connection with others 3 Reply Don Jones11 months agoDon JonesDoing anything, anytime that is an expression of my unbounded nature. 3 Reply devy11 months agodevyWaking up in the morning, getting out of bed and having the first taste of coffee pass my lips.😉.

Beauty to me is in a lot of things, natural things like plants, scenery and animals or actions that are beautiful … beauty is in excellence, athletes who do incredible things like surf 100 foot waves, architecture that is beautiful, trust and friendship is also beautiful, someone who helps someone else. I just am drawn to and nourished by beauty. I also love art, all kinds and pretty much need a daily art injection to keep me going most days. I love seeing expression and creati...Art and beauty. Beauty to me is in a lot of things, natural things like plants, scenery and animals or actions that are beautiful … beauty is in excellence, athletes who do incredible things like surf 100 foot waves, architecture that is beautiful, trust and friendship is also beautiful, someone who helps someone else. I just am drawn to and nourished by beauty. I also love art, all kinds and pretty much need a daily art injection to keep me going most days. I love seeing expression and creativity, love things that help to explore stories and feelings. The funny thing is I’m extremely utilitarian in a lot of ways, always trying to streamline and find the efficient way … but when it comes to art, it’s just necessary for my sanity and the health of my feelings. My faith and what I value in behavior from people and what I don’t value has a lot to do with what to me seems beautiful. Helping others, being brave, excellence at what you are trying to do … I think all that is beautiful. I have an instinct to want beauty to be in the world and encourage it in the world.

I’ll sit on my balcony and feel nourished by the plants and find little ways to improve some part or other. 3 Reply Ed Schulte11 months agoEd SchulteThe Eternal Life-Light of the one heart As exercised Visualize a lamp filled with our oil and place a wick lite by your Heart - light ...then place in your Etheric heart { not material heart ] Say to yourself, “this lamp will be lit in my heart all the time.” When you make the light in your heart, have in your mind this commandment of Joshua the Christ, the beloved one.

He said, “this light should belong to God and love to every human being,” when you say this….. you have to mean it. “this is the light of my heart offered to you, my God”. Now place the bowl in your heart center. ……And see how it is giving light to your heart. Every night when you go to sleep ……..see this bowl in your heart, always filled with pure oil and see its light. If you are disturbed, if you don’t have a clean conscience, you will see the light flickering. If you observe that, try to calm your personality down by seeing the light in your heart…. steady and calm,… see it clearly. Anytime you LIKE YOU CAN take this lamp out of your heart, see yourself holding it in your etheric hand and observe its bright light. And mentally whisper, “In him is life and his life is the light of all men”. “I am the light of the world,” Christ said. Mentally say to him, “I give to you what is yours”, keep my heart clean and keep the light in my heart shining, be assured that he will accept it and that in time he will baptize you in fire and in spirit.

Danny and I cooking a meal of dal together for our delightful young neighbors and their 2 small children. Hearing and seeing the whales blowing and sounding all around me in the middle of the sound. Having a real, heart to heart conversation face-to-face with someone, and then being able to laugh together, whether the conversation was easy or difficult 4 Reply Nelson11 months agoNelsonWhen someone or something makes me laugh really hard.
