I enjoy entertaining, but I also need a lot of alone time. My alone time is like a battery charge for when I entertain. Once that party is over I go right back to my alone time to recharge! Meditation can refer to doing an activity alone, but you can meditate with other people aroundContinue reading “Limitless Ways to Meditate”

Beautiful Sunrises
I’ve been seeing so much beauty all around me. In smiling kind faces and in the way nature is revealing its glorious colours. Oh! And the sunrises! I’m an early riser so I love mornings.

August Endings
