"I do believe in an everyday sort of magic...the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone." Charles de Lint

Sacred Pause

Rachel Hodgens describes the Solstice as the sacred pause before the shift in direction and seasonal energy.

After a wonderful whirlwind of a visit with John and Sue I feel like today has been a sacred pause before a shift in my energy. Spring is a when I focus on my gardens....and as of late I have have been tending my home. 

I'm just going to embrace this sacred pause...and see where the shift and the new season takes me.

We were gifted an especially fabulous ceramic tile from John and Sue. I absolutely love it!

I'm Thankful for dear friends ✓

I'm Grateful for precious time with them ✓ 

I'm Blessed to have a home that is comfortable ✓

Happy Solstice!

    Thank you for this, MaryAnn: "I'm just going to embrace this sacred pause...and see where the shift and the new season takes me." Yes, yes, yes.

    And yes, yes, yes to John and Sue's finding that fabulous ceramic tile for you and Paul.

      Permission to pause and redirect.....we can do it anytime but it seems especially fitting during the solstice.
