Today's 'hug' is a sweet card about honey! A little creature has climbed a very tall tree. It was a long way up and it took him a great deal of time to get there, but he is rewarded by the site of a bee hive. Inside the hive is lots of lovely gooey treats... Continue Reading →
Ship’s captain
Todays "hug" shows a creature on a beach. Behind him the waves are choppy and rising high out of the water. Two little paper boats can be seen bobbing up and down, swept along by the fast current. The creature on the beach, however, has one foot firmly on the ground and he faces away... Continue Reading →
Me time
Today's 'hug from spirit' is a card which shows a figure who has climbed a very tall tree. He is sitting happily on one of the branches, far up high and away from the world below, reading a book. The title of the book is "Time for You". How much time do you take for... Continue Reading →
Above the clouds
Today's 'hug from spirit' is a lovely quote. Even when we are going through tough times, the sun hasn't gone away. It might be hiding above the clouds but it is still there, ready and waiting to come out. https://youtu.be/6kXomK5q3SY?si=frquPmeybDBxTsab
Waves of life
Have you ever been on a boat ride? One that springs to mind for me is a trip in the Mediterranean. The sun was shining and the sky a brilliant and vibrant blue colour, without a single cloud to be seen. We had been bobbing along on the waves when all of a sudden we... Continue Reading →
Lessons from nature
When Wordsworth wrote this beautiful poem, I'm guessing he didn't have a dog with him. On a walk yesterday I spotted a single solitary daffodil in the distance. It looked stunning with the sun shining on its vibrant yellow petals so I went over to investigate. My dog followed but suddenly, and out of nowhere,... Continue Reading →
Map of life
Shakespeare said, "the course of true love never did run smooth". But the same could be said about life. It's never plain sailing. We can be bobbing along in our boat down the stream of life. The sun's out and everything feels great. Then all of a sudden along comes a storm, threatening to capsize... Continue Reading →
A life manual
Wouldn't it be great if the answers to life were in the back of a book, just like Charlie Brown ponders in this quote. Or would it? I recently got interested in Sudoku puzzles. I've been finding them quite relaxing and a way to unwind, taking my mind off what's gone on during the day.... Continue Reading →
Path to peace
I read somewhere that our brains process about 70,000 thoughts a day. That's quite shocking when you think about it (no pun intended!) but actually it seems about right. I don't know about you, but my brain is a busy highway. Thoughts, ideas, nonsense and gibberish fly through like speeding cars. In all honesty it's... Continue Reading →
Letting go
There is a beautiful tree nearby that has been growing for at least a hundred years, if not longer. It towers over the other trees and all the knots and markings give it the appearance of a wizened and wise being. I swear some of the knots look like a face! This tree is a... Continue Reading →
