Donna wears Poem It Out

How do you nourish yourself?

Donna writes: I find many ways to nourish my heart and soul. . . it is truly an important part of who I am! I love to spend time early morning writing poetry before the busy day begins ~ I find that it sets the pace for my entire day ~ I love spending time walking the beaches of the Outer Banks ~ I love the ocean~ whenever I can I spend time painting in my studio ~ spending time with my family . . . my hubby of 35 years and two sons and their wives ~ taking pictures where ever and when ever I can ~ I love practicing hot yoga ~ I love beautiful music ~ lighting candles ~ burning incense ~ I love journaling ~ knitting socks ~ taking long naps ~ watercolor sketching at the beach ~ taking time for a tea ceremony ~ blogging ~ and the fellowship of my sister girlfriends! When I am nourished inside and out I feel I have more to offer those who are around me.

Thank you for sharing how you nourish yourself Donna. These small things do indeed shape who we are and how our day goes and often as a knock on the life of those around us.

Donna is magical, radiant, kind, loving...I could go on and on. She shines so much beauty into this world and I am so blessed to know her.

P.S. the comment from her son just made my heart smile.
