Try putting yourself in the other person’s shoes
Put aside your own convenience for a moment and think about what would make the other person happy, or what would best serve their needs.

nature
Mother Nature, no one does natural beauty like the gifts nature offers us … we need only look around. Attended the summer Gneiss Guy crystal, mineral and fossil show/sale… to be completely surrounded by minerals and nature’s gifts.. to touch and experience the energy from the crystals and earth treasures from all over the world was energizing.
I drove down to Montreal in the morning, was back mid afternoon. The drive was full of quiet reflection, skies were blue, clouds were white and puffy…. There is something very humbling about being able to hold and experience a mineral that came from half way around the world, dug out of the bowels of the earth and handled by many hands before arriving where I could hold and take in its unique composition.
The fossils are even more intriguing. I was there very early .. doors opened at 9 yet, when I got there shortly before 10… vendors were already leaving boxes of inventory for their shops/boutiques. There was a lot of crystal, but after years of collecting, I am more selective wanting pieces now for my personal “stash”… since I not longer create one of a kind sculptures and jewelry… I can just satisfy my personal need to feed my “pleasure” chest.
I bought/adopted pieces that made me smile and drew me in with charm and delightful designs all completely presented from the earth itself. I did indulge in a few carved birds (yes from the minerals ) there are some amazing artists and creators out there.
I am filled with gratitude for the time and efforts of the artisans, “rock ” hunters, craftsmen, and entrepreneurs who bring these treasures where I can enjoy them.

Thursday
I posted on Facebook today – Age is a number – do you feel/agree with that? When you look in the mirror, are you surprised by what you see? Do you wonder how many times you have looked in the mirror only to see a face you don’t recognize? Would you really want to go back in time.??
Questions that I seem to face on a more regular basis since moving to where I live now. I’ve been learning to ignore looking at the wall to wall mirror in the bathroom.. I decided it was time to cut my hair the other day, so I had to look then… but.. otherwise…
We are almost in the month of July… you ready for it? What happened to the month of June,???
PL Precept #20 Live maintaining equilibrium between mind and matter.

relax
Sometimes we have to listen to the silence… let the mind rest…. we tend to always be on the go….
Noticing all our feelings – positive, negative and neutral – can help bring a sense of freedom.

Wednesday
Sometimes there are simply no words for the thoughts and feelings we face on days when the world seems to happening around us, but we are simply “not in step” The silence is inside … the quiet is loud.
Joy and Sorrow together – Learn how to experience life’s good and bad at the same time.
Things tend to get complicated when you allow yourself to be overly one side.

thought
It is inspiring to look back .. and see… how a handful of moments can define your destiny.
I have learned over time to do my best to be present in every moment of my life…… to allow the reality of the moment determine where I am going.
