Give thanks for the everyday gifts you are given, for the first glimpse of the rising sun, for the song of the birds, for the baby’s cry, for the earth beneath your feet and for the scent of autumn leaves in the air. Staying grounded in nature is one of the best healing medicines there is. Just walking barefoot in the grass or crunching over some fallen leaves will bring you back to your senses, literally and figuratively. Letting the sun fall upon your shoulders, feeling its warmth is a sure way to reconnect with the loving hand of Mother Nature and all her bounty. No matter where you live, if you look up at any time of day or night you can connect with nature in the heavens above, no matter what lies at your feet. Give thanks for the opportunity to witness and experience the glories of the natural world all around you.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Soulbyte for Friday November 6, 2020

Let not fear detract from the enjoyments of life, for though things may be in turmoil the simple things still matter, the little things that truly make life joyful. When all else falls away, that which you once counted on for entertainment, look at all that you are still left with; the stars above you, the earth beneath you, the wind in your hair, the rain on your cheek, the sun at your back. Who needs more than these gifts of nature to feel a sense of pleasure? Who needs more than these powerful reminders of all that truly matters? Find nature, within and without. In simple joys, find solace. In nature find the true peace you seek. In nature, find the freedom you so desire.

Sending you love,
