Within you, there is a stillness and sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself.

Hermann Hesse

It’s good to remember we can turn inward and rely on ourselves to find peace and calm within. Even though life is more chaotic this time of year, I’ve still been beginning and ending my day with meditation. I aim for at least an hour each session. If I can, I’ll slip in another hour or two in the afternoon. It helps me greatly to stay mindful, figure out what my priorities are for the day, and gives me the alone time I need.

Watching:

10 Years Ago – A Eulogy For Clara – I can’t believe it’s been ten years since Clara passed. I remember that day like it was yesterday. I don’t usually watch cooking videos because of my severe food allergies, but I’ve watched all of hers. I also have her cookbook, and DVD. She was such a dear sweet lady, and I miss her beautiful smile. If you need a pick me up, please watch her videos. She will brighten your day. 

Family BiBi – Bibi is the cutest, smartest little monkey. Whenever I put on one of Bibi’s videos, Gussy comes running, and gets as close to the screen as he can. 😻 He watched the entire 20 minute video. Soooo super cute. 

I hope you have a lovely weekend ahead.
