I am passionate on the nature of life and my family and all the little things such as nice coffee early in the morning , morning cuddles with my furry best friend :), nice food after a long day:).
I am passionate about my family…I believe that if I can be the very best version of myself I can help them in any way possible; financially and spiritually.
I am passionate about peace ..about maintaining a sense of being grounded, and guarding my common senses. I want to protect that at all costs.
I am passionate about loving my 4 beautiful sons and helping them understand we are all perfectly imperfect and to be kind and accepting of others. I am also passionate about boating and anything outdoors, especially near the ocean. There’s something about the great expanse and chaos and order in the flow of water that speaks to me. I can watch a babbling brook all day.
Mother nature, trees, oceans, rivers and water, mountains, the sky, flowers, gardens, the human body, movement and gestures, yoga, dance, laughter, music, a good book, cup of tea, dogs and many animals, sometimes humans and human relationships, the power of kindness …
I am deeply passionate about my family and those I love deeply. As I get older and my relationship with my children goes from authority figure/parent to friend/parent I can’t help but miss the times when they were little. There are so many things I would do differently raising them. Not sweating the small stuff would be a huge one!
I am also passionate about Christ and my religious faith. I am so thankful to be saved by grace!
I am passionate about my spiritual growth.
I am passionate about spending time in Mother Nature.
I am passionate about Redwood trees & flowers.
I am passionate about art, the great masters.
I am passionate about my personal growth.
I am curious about so many things. I could go on & on about all the things I am passionate about, these are but a few. ❤️
What a lovely question to ponder. Although it really didn’t take much pondering for me at first. My family came to mind immediately. Both of my daughters were “miracle babies” after years of infertility. And so I am passionate about being their mom. (and also to my wonderful son-in-law who is another gift). So much so that we moved 2,000 miles across the country recently to be with them as we continue our march towards “old age”. .
In addition to this somewhat obvious response,…I am passionate about trees, bird watching, embracing a wide variety of spiritual traditions, nurturing friendships,, exploring our new surroundings. So much to be grateful for.
Om Shanti friends ♥
A Prayer Tuesday hello to my longtime friend, Diane. Wishing you beauty in your life, hope in your heart. joy in Mother Nature’s gifts, always. Blessings!
Staying connected with friends. Being outside in nature. Practicing meditation, yoga, and and gratitude. Trying to be present. Living this life with intention.
Making streets safer for everyone to be able to walk or bike or roll, which is my job and also my passion. I came to this through volunteer work and then became a professional 10 years ago and feel lucky every day to have found my calling.
And in that work, making that “safer” have meaning beyond drivers not hitting and killing people. Safer, meaning not harassed or attacked or killed simply for being who you are. Safer, meaning air that’s cleaner and a sky that isn’t changing color from the effects of the climate disaster we’re in. Safer, meaning you have bodily autonomy and can make your own decisions. Safer meaning so many things.
My children and my sweetheart as well, before and beyond all else.
Carol…..I’m with you in the winter of our lives. And I am a great believer in mantras…they help to quiet my monkey mind. Thank you for sharing this beautiful mantra you created. ♥
Just gorgeous!! I thank you!! I just retired one month ago. I am trying to find the new me, who am I before the world told me who to be? Who I am without all the worries of schedules, work demands, hundreds of emails? I just became a grandma this past month as well. it is as if the universe wanted to give me this beautiful gift. I welcome her, I am grateful for her presence in my life. I am discovering this new joy. I will write your mantra on a card and keep it by my bedside to read it every day. I thank you!
Ana Maria, Thanks so much for your gracious note. It is a gift to me and it’s an example of why I love visiting this website because it allows us to share in a safe and caring place. Congrats on being a grandmother. You are right, it’s a gift. I wish you blessings always and all ways.
These days in hospital recovering… health, being understood, having medical and basics needs met, and thanking the nurses, for without their dedication to the science, art and compassion of nursing, our health and healing would be compromised.
Right now it is to get better. The doctor has a new plan, and it seems like this one will work. Other than that, everything people have mentioned here I can add-me, too!-to them…..thanks for being here everyone and responding to this question.
I have long asked myself this question thinking it had to be something big, time consuming, and totally engaging. You have taught me it can just be the things in my heart. So… taking care of my husband, healthy eating. nature, reading books and poetry, Yo-Yo Ma and Kathryn Stott doing Over the Rainbow (see Gratitude Lounge for a link), and trying to find and spread love and kindness.
Good morning friend Pilgrim….as always, it is a joy to see you here on this another Prayer Tuesday. Grateful for this space where we can meet each week. We are both passionate about our families…God bless us every one. ♥
That’s beautiful! I think that when we play with someone we share not only our time but also a part of ourselves and when you find the right person to share it, it becomes an extraordinary experience!
Morning light, silence, time to rest, reading with my cats and a cup of tea, meditation at night!
Thank you for the question, thinking about all of these things just made my day better!
I live in Italy and there isn’t Starbucks (only in the very big city, there you can find maybe one or two) because we are very attached to our coffee tradition. I’m not a “good italian” because I don’t like coffee but I really love tea and Kate (from La via del Tè, Firenze) is my corrent favourite, it’s named after Kate Sheppard, a feminist from New Zeland!

I am passionate about trees and the moon. . Trees whisper to me and show fidelity.. the moon fills my soul with light.
I love your full moon profile pic:)
I am passionate about music, music is my happy place, It’s where I can be myself and express my feelings without talking.
Learning new things and trying to be better than yesterday

Life–maybe because I’m in the winter of mine. I share a mantra I wrote several years ago:
Be the answer you seek.
Be the pray you say.
Be the person who is
Alive
Awake
Aware
in Awe
of your life
This is beautiful and so wise Carol!
Be the pray you say – that’s so powerful!!!! Thank you for sharing, Carol.
And congrats to Ana Maria, I wish you the best on this new chapter of your life!

I am passionate about:
hiking, running, my kids, journaling, cooking/baking, antiquing for vintage pyrex, mixing bowls and blown glass.

Family. Kindness. Really listening. Earth and all her glories.

Beautiful. Thank you.
Health, good food and reading.
happiness. love. yoga. equality. and cheese!
Making music with others. 🎶
That’s beautiful! I think that when we play with someone we share not only our time but also a part of ourselves and when you find the right person to share it, it becomes an extraordinary experience!
Detaching- attaching. Detaching of what is not good for me and others. Attaching to what is beneficial for us.
My amazing grandchildren!!
Morning light, silence, time to rest, reading with my cats and a cup of tea, meditation at night!

Peach tranquility tea from Starbuck’s is my current favorite.
I live in Italy and there isn’t Starbucks (only in the very big city, there you can find maybe one or two) because we are very attached to our coffee tradition.

Sea air
stone walls
a child’s laughter
the perfect picture
or word
space
between time
the strength of fields
or seashores
rowing on
and breath.
Truth, meditation, gratitude- kindness and letting go
Ah….yes. Kindness and letting go. Thank you Antoinette. ♥
Butch lesbians, Halloween, autumn, my work. Gratefulness:)
