hello my name is nora 🙂

are you crazy? that’s what people may say if you believe in angels. i believe in angels. i’m 7. i’m going to be 8 soon. my angel has long golden hair. she has blue eyes. she likes to wear red shoes. she is kind to all animals and people. she lives in the middle of the road on our street. her home disappears if you don’t know how to look for it in the right way. cars drive through it!

do you like angels? they make you feel positive when you’ve been feeling down. i think angels come from a place deep in your heart that is filled with love. they come if you’re having trouble. they know how to cheer you up.

bye! thank you for reading my post.

Wonderment

Son: Mom, you’re a grown up but you didn’t grow up.
Mother: Sometimes if you’re very smart you can avoid it.  Do you know how? Stay innocent.  Stay with your heart.

Son:  And do silly dancing?
Mother:  Yes, do lots of silly dancing!

Last week I celebrated the beginning of another year in life with my sister, children, and a few girlfriends. After the ladies had to say goodnight we spent a portion of the eve choreographing a popular song and putting on makeshift costumes. We had a lot of fun with the movement.  The conversation above ensued the following day.  Beyond pleased with my child’s observation, I took his words and went flying with them.  Luckily the landing was successful and I can now share retrospect with you.

Love, happiness, and contentment reside in staying innocent as we move through life.  We can be in the world but not of it.  Be a child at the core, delighting in the abundance of simplicity surrounding you. Be cognizant of the wonders at your fingertips everyday.  Be open to the newness of it all, because it will be new to you if you allow.

Take time this weekend to identify with something that stirs childlike wonder within.  There is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ way to go about honoring yourself and your soul. Be in tune with you.  Do what brings you the greatest amount of joy. Listen to your inner guidance and easily move where it leads.

Comments about the activities and moments that set your heart humming are welcome!
