Away From It All

Can you imagine yourself in this vast empty countryside, away from all concerns, away from all contact with the busyness and churning of the world? Start down that long road and let the seemingly endless space, the quiet and your effort cleanse your thoughts of everything except the moment that you're in. Let it help you shake off all negativity and allow you to enjoy an undisturbed rest. Good night. Sleep well. 🌙

Mother Nature's Peace

Mother Nature gives us so many ways to find peace in the unlimited variety and richness of her world. Here in the symmetry created by the meeting of sky and water and the blush of the last light of day can be found beauty and calm. Savor the respite it provides and move quietly into your evening. Wishing you a restful night. Sleep well. 🌙

The Peac of Now

Plein air artist Pam Lussier brings us to a place of softness, light and solitude to help counter any turbulence the world has caused in our hearts. The feel of the sand on our feet, the salty scent of the nearby sea in the air and perhaps an occasional cry of a bird in the sky bring us into the peace of now. Carry this with you as you prepare for a night's rest. Sleep well. 🌙

I finally brought this to the finished place I wanted. Put it in a frame and it was brought to the Perkins Cove Gallery. Right away it found its home. “Beach Fence” Sold!

Catch the Sun

Catch the sun, waves and play of this joyful beach scene from artist Roelof Rossouw, gently letting us know that "It's a little bit cold." Basking in the warmth of the day with the cooler water lapping your toes is refreshment for your entire being. Take the glow of this outing with you at the end of the day and settle down for the night smiling. Sleep well. 🌙

Endless Space

Can you imagine yourself in this vast empty countryside, away from all concerns, away from all contact with the busyness and churning of the world? Start down that long road and let the seemingly endless space, the quiet and your effort cleanse your thoughts of everything except the moment that you're in. Let it help you shake off all negativity and allow you to enjoy an undisturbed rest. Good night. Sleep well. 🌙

The Universe is Calling

Got away from it all and took a trip through the universe today. Came back to earth to the sound of a summer storm outside the window and the scent of a cool rain-washed breeze. Feeling refreshed and ready for a good night's sleep and strengthened for tomorrow's tasks. Sleep well. 🌙

 

 

Quilts to Behold

Art works, in whatever medium, always take my breath away with the originality and diversity of a creative person's vision and with the immediacy and soul of what they've made with their own hands and hearts.

Contemporary quilt artists, working with fabric and thread, transform a practical task going back centuries, begun in need and developed into a decorative art form, have taken quilts past the traditional patterns to which we are accustomed to places we do not expect.

Here is a small sample of the extraordinary works of Eileen Williams, helping us to get into a good night mood with "Blue Moon," "Moonlight Through the Pines" and "A Little Moonlight." To me, as with all artists I enjoy, she gives us the gifts of beauty, joy and peace to soothe our minds and hearts.

Sleep well in beauty. 🌙

Piglet Wisdom

From the wisdom of a tiny Piglet, the immense most precious gift of friendship and an understanding heart. Can there be anything kinder one being can offer to another to make us feel loved, secure and peaceful? Sleep well. 🌙

Clear Your Mind

 Just sitting surrounded by solitude, fresh air, greenery and endless sky. Step away from the world and feel cares and tensions fall from your being, leaving you in the present moment with a clear quiet mind. Sleep well in tranquility. 🌙

Mystical Moment

That mystical time between day and just before night when it seems everything is hushed so evocatively captured by tonalist Charles Warren Eaton in his "Moon Over the Forest." Picture yourself preparing for an evening of quiet relaxation with your feet up, maybe cradling a comforting cup of tea, and enjoying lazy conversation. What a lovely drowsy way to ready your body and your mind for a good night's rest. Sleep well. 🌙

Three Beautiful Words

Three beautiful words that bless us each time they appear. I was reminded today and nearly every day how often they come into my life thanks to loving family and good friends and how grateful I am. They are my rock. These gifts I wish for all in this world to soften any hard edges which they find in their lives.

Sleep well. 🌙
