Dear ,
Last night was a beautiful sunset night, one which I might have even missed had I kept my head straight ahead looking at the plants and birds in Green Cay Wetlands, not lifting my head.
When I did I look up, I got totally absorbed in the WONDER of the sunset. This morning I was sitting and writing in my backyard and happened to glance over at the very high windows above the windows and screens that enclose my patio. See Rooftop and Window Reflections.
Again, there was the feeling of wonder for me, as I looked at and then photographed the wavy reflections in the plastic glass. I then started thinking about the parallels between the two experiences.
Both were ones I would have missed without my "eyes" and "being" open to them. I was reminded of the "wonder" I find in making discoveries such as these and then the joy that I and others experience when they, too, open up to the visual wonders in their worlds during and after my EXPAND YOUR VISION - Through and From the Lens telecourse.
TODAY'S PHOTOS -
The top is a photo, as I stated above, of a sunset in Green Cay Wetlands, with a portion of the boardwalk and the Nature Center building leading you into the sun and reflections. As I completed my walk the sunset became even more fiery.
The lower of the top two featured photographs is a segment of the reflections in one of the windows. Because of the slant, I separated it out from the full photo of the window and put it on a plain background. You can get the feel of what I saw initially in Windows and Rooftop.
SELF-REFLECTING QUERIES -
What is it that excites you when you look around you? Are there images and scenes you enjoy spending time with and in?
Do you remain aware of the places which give you the most sustenance, or do you need to make a list to remind yourself?
I invite you to spend some time this week looking for the new in what may seem routine and not usually worthy of note in your environment.
As always, have fun with this.
EXCITING PROGRAM for growth and expansion -
Before leaving for Georgia two weeks ago, I registered for the Spiritual Marketing Telesummit, that was held last week, knowing that I would be able to listen to the recordings of the calls.
I was able to listen "live" to three of them and since have heard the recordings of several more.
All were high energy and, in fact, fit the theme of "Energy Shifting." Geared toward people in business, I started finding more clarity in my soul purpose, expanded even further as I listened to those beyond the live ones.
Though the site was scheduled to come down when the calls were over, it will be up until this Friday, June 12th. Later in the year a, perhaps more costly, product package is expected to come out.
In the meantime, I strongly recommend your checking out Spiritual Marketing to see if the content in the recordings will answer something for you in your life.
