Food For Thought: Like A Flower

White Peony ~ Pamela J. Leavey
White Peony ~ Pamela J. Leavey

“Like a flower, our lives unfold, petal by petal. There is no perfect flower, each is assymetrical by design, as we are. Every petal is a layer of our heart and mind, unraveling our own unique character. We bud, we blossom, we enthrall and enrapture, we endure until we age and fade away. We are an intricate fragment of the whole, the universe. We come from the Mother Earth, as the flower does, and therein we return. We are here to blossom fully and revel in the sun. Like a flower.”

Daily Affirmations: Grateful

For all blessings great and small, I am grateful. For every glimpse of Mother Nature’s wonders, I am grateful. Re-minding myself each day of that which I am grateful for, keeps me in the present moment. – Pamela Leavey

Daily Affirmations: Impermanence and Gratitude

As I watch Mother Nature begin to wreck havoc today with her wild wilds, rains and storm surges across the North East, I am re-minded of the impermanence of all things and I am filled with gratitude for all that nature gifts to us. May you all stay safe in the wake of Hurricane Sandy… ~ Pamela J. Leavey

Sandy Point and Hurricane Sandy

When I was a small child, my family camped on this beach every summer for a few years. Sandy Point State Reservation, is at the southern tip of Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, camping has been banned there now for decades.

When I was there a week ago, we were already experiencing extremely high tides. With Hurricane Sandy heading up the East Coast poised to possibly converge with a Nor’easter, I anticipate the hide tides at Sandy Point, and the entire area to be even higher than we’ve seen here in the last week.

The storm could also effect voting in the areas hard hit, which might just impact election results.

I love a good storm… but my hope is Sandy calms down before she strikes my area.

Daily Affirmations: Spring

As I watch this Spring explode with fresh life, from new leaves on the trees and flowers, to baby bunnies and wrens, I am grateful for all the gifts of Mother Nature. Today, I thank the Great Mother Goddess for all her blessings and abundance… ~ Pamela J. Leavey
