We’ve all had those people in our lives, the ones who don’t know us, or get who we are, who form opinions about us, and yet they judge us. We may not be able to change that person’s mind about us, but we can protect ourselves from the negative energy they send our way.
Today, I re-mind myself that I am grounded and confident in who I am. My heart knows who my true self is. Nothing that anyone says or feels about me, can take that away. – Pamela Leavey

Prior to writing and publishing my own daily affirmations online since the late 1990’s, I found Julia Cameron’s affirmations from her book Blessings to be great inspiration. Here’s one of my favorites:
“When I count and encounter my blessings, I experience a sense
of fullness, safety, and satisfaction. I have enough. My heart is
bountiful. My life is dowried by rich companions and rewarding
experiences. As I experience the power and the goodness of the
universe, I experience my own power and goodness. I experience
flow, increased flow and expanded flow. Opening to receive this
flow, I become larger and more magnificent. I am part of a
grand and glorious design. A grand and glorious design is part of
me. I celebrate the grandeur of this fact with a humble heart.”

From my poetry collection…
When Possibilities Bloom, by Pamela Leavey
In the spring when possibilities bloom with all the fervor of young love, there is doorway, that opens, for the soul that seeks to search the buds for the perfect flower. There in that doorway there is the magic, of hearts colliding with nature in the dance of the fairies on the hill with the sun setting. I will wait there until night falls and watch the stars twinkle, and you will hold me close, until the dawn light creeps up over the hill and I awake, from the dream.

I wanted to acknowledge Earth Day 2021 with a piece of poetry, written about my beloved Merrimack River. I am a child of the river. She runs in me…
Low tide— river’s edge. Still waters. A lone duck, draws a line across the reflection. The water— like glass ripples. Beyond, spring bustles. Some days it even hustles always calling for introspection

Good Morning Beautiful People… Happy Thursday!
In the springtime, every day reveals a little more color, a little more beauty, a little more joy to revel in.
May your day be filled with color, beauty, and joy and may you share your bounty in kindness to others. 💛

Good Morning Everyone… Happy Saturday to all!
Dogwood is one of my absolute favorite flowering trees. It’s still a little early for dogwood where I am, this photo is from 2018, in my cousin’s backyard. When I can find dogwood that I can cut, I love to bring some in the house and have it in a vase. When I am lucky, it dries nicely with the flowers still on it.
My mother loved dogwood and I am certain, it’s another facet of the love of nature that she passed on to me. She had the most beautiful gardens when I was child. She would spend hours working in them.
Fond, happy memories sustain us all, for they affirm the life we’ve lived.
I wish you all grace, joy and some happy memories today…
