Giving Thanks

If the only prayer you ever say in your whole life is "thank you," that would suffice.
Meister Eckhart

Here we are in November, the month of "Thanks"!

Last year at this time, in honor of Thanksgiving

I started a new tradition for me,

and decided to post here on my blog

"30 Days of Giving Thanks"

I wanted to post a thank you each day, for the entire month.

I think I missed a few days,

but, I must say it made a difference in my life.

It was a way for me to remember that despite life's ups and downs,

there is always much to appreciate in our lives.....

I created a special button for this last year,

and if you would like to join me

in this special way to look at the good in our lives

please feel free to take the button for your use....

and pass it on!

DAY 1: So very thankful this day........

for all the special people who have stopped by

and said hello to me

on my blog this year....

May God Bless You!

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY!!

What a great day here~ we have rain~ yayyy!

For today's pink post, I decided to look up the meaning of the color pink

here it is according to:

"Emily"

Pink is the color of universal love.

Pink is a quiet color.

Lovers of beauty favor pink.

A pink carnation means "I will never forget you".

Pink Energy
Pink is a combination of red and white.

The quality of energy in pink is determined by how much red is present.

White is the potential for fullness, while red helps you to achieve that potential.

Pink combines these energies.

Shades of deep pink, such as magenta, are effective in neutralizing disorder and violence.

Some prisons use limited deep pink tones to diffuse aggressive behaviour.
Pink provides feelings of caring, tenderness, self-worth and love, acceptance.

Put some pink in your life when you want:
calm feelings
to neutralize disorder
relaxation
acceptance, contentment

Pink gem stone properties
Pink gemstones can be used to promote love, self-worth, order and protection from violence or aggression.

Carry or place pink gemstones around your home or office to stimulate love and beauty.

Check out Emily's site to see some really yummy pink gemstones!

And, here is one of my favorite pink angels from my collection:

And, sharing a plate I painted, which I have "tweaked" a bit with a program called

Photoscape.... really fun program, and it was free!!

TTFN~ HAVE A SWEET PINK WEEKEND!

Ohhh, here we go again~

it's a PINK SATURDAY!!

Have I got a few treats for you today!!

First.......... there is a lovely blog that I like to follow.......

called STYLE ME PRETTY

"for the obsessed bride"

It is definitely a "come by and dream and dream"

kinda blog.......

And, the lovely lady who creates this blog

has been doing a

PINK WEEK

Well, I am telling you......you just have to go and take a look!!

Just click on the blog name above to go there~

You will see some of the most awesome,

breathtaking PINK creations you have ever seen!

And, I want to share with you a couple of

tags I got from this sweet & talented lady:

Wendy

I just love to look at them

goodness, she is so talented!

And, finally..........

for your relaxing pleasure..........

a

PINK BUBBLE MEDITATION!

I hope you will enjoy!

simple...........and wonderfully effective




Sit or lie down comfortably,

close your eyes, and breathe deeply,

slowly, and naturally.

Gradually relax deeper and deeper.

Imagine something that you would like to manifest.

Imagine that it has already happened.

Picture it as clearly as possible in your mind.

Now, in your mind's eye,

surround your fantasy with a pink bubble;

put your goal inside the bubble.

Pink is the color associated with the heart,

and if this color vibration surrounds whatever you visualize,

it will bring to you only that which is in perfect affinity with your being.

The third step is to let go of the bubble

and imagine it floating off into the universe,

still containing your vision.

This symbolizes that you are emotionally "letting go" of it.

Now it is free to float around in the universe,

attracting and gathering energy for its manifestation.

There is nothing more you need to do.

(how cool is that!?!?)

See you next week!!

Oh no! I'm late, I'm late............ for this very important date!
