For one thing, there's the turtle, for another the three part moon, suggestive of different life phases. And the waves of the ocean, of which we are each just a drop. I see her as the Goddess, connecting us all through her cycles, and through our emotions. Which of course leads me to that same place of making life a happier place by how we interact with others. <br />It's funny, as I gave someone almost exactly those same examples last week, to describe my understanding of the angelic - messages from spirit that uplift us: a ray of sunshine, a smile from another, and a good card reading :)Inner Whispershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04577110987784585986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158245992923239671.post-2328423661214042832016-10-24T23:02:53.407+02:002016-10-24T23:02:53.407+02:00For now it only gets worse by the day so I am goin...For now it only gets worse by the day so I am going to see a doctor this week. <br />Thank you so much for you well wishes. <br /><br />Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02617686222764658629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158245992923239671.post-82799931323788950852016-10-24T22:57:54.747+02:002016-10-24T22:57:54.747+02:00I can imagine how these two turtle have become ver...I can imagine how these two turtle have become very precious keepsakes for you<br />Hugs Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02617686222764658629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158245992923239671.post-36578821574757515952016-10-24T21:23:39.551+02:002016-10-24T21:23:39.551+02:00Ellen I have a water problem right now as we'v...Ellen I have a water problem right now as we've been experiencing drought in Nova Scotia. So you can be very grateful for your luxurious shower!<br /><br />My father gave me a florescent green and pink gorilla when I was a little. Didn't quite do it for me! ;) No turtles, but my late husband Bill, who was Metis, owned two beautiful turtles that I now mine, a brass one and the other made with Abalone shell from Mexico.

I'm having a day of rest and still, even I've been not-living by the calendar for a few years, still I feel sometimes that weekends are for resting and by Monday you're up and ready to go again. Reading this, after a nap time, got me a new fresh start for the week remembering the gratitude for the situation that I am capable (also responsible) to rest whenever I need it. I don't have to schedule it. :) Love, AnniinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158245992923239671.post-56520565259557443152016-10-24T14:50:17.576+02:002016-10-24T14:50:17.576+02:00What a stunning statue this is thank you for shari...What a stunning statue this is thank you for sharing this.<br />Yes some self-compassion is in order today too :)Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02617686222764658629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158245992923239671.post-74221782726282905762016-10-24T14:37:53.648+02:002016-10-24T14:37:53.648+02:00A good post for me to read this morning Ellen.

Great Spirit created the earth on the Turtle's back and represents the earth.<br /><br /> This water woman is looking compassionately at the Turtle. When I think about this in relation to your post, gratitude for me is directly connected to self-care and our happiness is proportional to our daily maintenance of much gratitude our daily lives.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08478520659409723872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158245992923239671.post-60909026759428666382016-10-24T14:10:18.615+02:002016-10-24T14:10:18.615+02:00Her turtle reminds me of a statue of Kuan Yin sitt...Her turtle reminds me of a statue of Kuan Yin sitting on a turtle:<br />https://cdn6.bigcommerce.com/s-jr4nh8s/products/434/images/1091/bgtlt1700_1__44434.1406537639.1280.1280.jpg?c=2<br />Which makes me think that compassion includes self-compassion! :)thesycamoretreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15182019323050600440noreply@blogger.com
