NURTURING YOUR SOUL.............



The soul goes by many different names~~
Hinduism ~ Atman
Jainism ~ Jiva
Sikhism ~ Atma - "roohu"
Christianity ~ Soul
Jewish ~ Soul
Buddhism ~ Anatma - No-self/No Soul
 Just to mention a few: 

"Each person has an ideal, a hope, a dream~which represents the soul.  We must give it the warmth of love, the light of understanding and the essence of encouragement."
Calley Dorr Dom

How do you nurture your soul?

    I love reading the words of our Prophet knowing that the Lord is talking directly to me through their words. My soul needs to be continually watered through reading and listening to the stories of others and their triumphs over dark times.

    I nurture my soul by relishing in the beauty of nature. Even living here in the city, if one seeks, one can find it.

    I nurture my soul through faith, love, compassion, forgiveness and thankfulness for blessings in my life.

    One way is by spending time at my cabin, where I was this last weekend. Being away from the computer, the phone, the TV, enjoying nature, sitting by the creek, reading and reading and reading. Ahhhh, that was great.

    Very nice...we all need to nurture and strengthen our souls I think.
    What does it for me.........MY FAMILY for sure.
    Walks, where I can reflect on life, and "my soul"
    prayer
    concentrating on gratitude

    Walking in the great outdoors. If only our weather would cooperate. I could walk all day long. :) Hope your week is a good one. Tammy

    Beautiful post Jo~ I feel most at peace and like the universe has melted away - leaving no cares at all behind when I am consumed by creativity.

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right...

PUTTING ON MY GYPSY SHOES......................

Bo Bunny Paper Collection Well.......the coach is packed...the laundry done in the condo....and we will be on our way tomorrow. I often do feel like a gypsy moving from one spot to another....and each year my gratitude grows as I am able to continue this lifestyle. I truly would love to "do up" my coach in Gypsy Style...but alas....not too practical as things probably would be flying all over as we traveled down the road.  (O: But.....a girl can dream.....can't she? ~~~ My suitcase is packed with memories To be opened further down the road When my caravan must be halted The bag waits to be opened Stories to be told and shared Like the gypsy's of so long ago But for now....the wheels keep turning And my case grows larger still Waiting for the day..I must be stopped   And my heart, to the brim, will be filled Hugs from me to you, Jo Gypsy photos:  Electric Gipsyland on Flickr

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is a picture of our little tree this year.  Each year our trees seem to be smaller, a function of our getting older and just wanting to deal with less stuff.  I'm sure a few of you feel them same.  Although it does seem to be a little weird that we want to deal with fewer Christmas decorations and give each other MORE STUFF in the way of presents under the tree.   Ahhh...being human is such a quandary sometimes!                                          MERRY CHRISTMAS                                                          Jo
