Find Joy In The Ordinary 💗

Beloved Friends & All.

As we move into the third week of isolation how is everyone feeling? These are challenging times and there is a lot of uncertainty, but one thing we know is that this is not forever., The practice of presence will serve you well, simply taking each day as it comes. Mindful moments.

True community spirit and kindness has been beautiful to see, so many coming together to help one another In whatever way that may be. Now more than ever is the need for connectedness.

Each day when I wake I count my blessings, appreciating the simple things in life, finding joy in the ordinary. The sun on my face, the Earth beneath my feet. Each day waking with a grateful heart. There’s always someone or something to appreciate. The days are lighter and longer. The air is fresh and the flowers are making an appearance. Thank you Mother Earth, she is a great reminder that things are ever changing.

This is the third week of my free live classes for class attendees. I have to say how blessed I feel to each and every one of you for joining me on the mat. Those who aren’t on Facebook know you are In my heart and you will receive an email inviting you to practice with me. My website is now ready for video, however I have decided to connect with you using a different platform.

A poem for you my friends: ‘Our True Heritage by Thich Nhat Hanh’

The cosmos is filled with precious gems.

I want to offer a handful of them to you this morning.

Each moment you are alive is a gem, shining through the containing Earth and sky, water and clouds.

It needs you to breathe gently, for the miracles to be displayed.

Suddenly you hear the birds singing,

The pines chanting, see the flowers blooming.

The blue sky, the white clouds,

The smile and the marvelous look of your beloved.

You, are the richest person on Earth, who have been going around begging.

Stop being the destitute child, come back and claim your heritage.

Enjoy your happiness, and offer it to everyone.

Cherish this very moment.

Let go of the stream of distress

And embrace life fully in your arms.

May this day see you well,

Love and Peace,

Debbie. 🙏
