Learning to Savour: November 2012
http://learningtosavour.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 14 November 2012. An affirmation: on returning home after being away. Isn't it such a gift to go away and leave one's everyday life behind for just a little while? And then isn't it also a gift to return to it, hopefully refreshed and with perspective regained and energy renewed? Try saying this out loud, with a shifting emphasis on each word in turn, and feel what this means for you and what it releases inside you. THIS is my life. Right here, right now. It is not elsewhere. This IS my life.

Learning to Savour: December 2011
http://learningtosavour.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Monday, 26 December 2011. These are a few of my favourite (Christmas) things. Since I keep on humming the classic Sound of Music song to myself, I was already thinking of writing a post about some of my favourite things this Christmas, and then my daily Enneathought. Suggested that “ On Boxing Day, which can be a day of recovery from celebrations, quietly reflect on your blessings. As a Nine, consider the ways you are blessed with being optimistic, good-natured, and creative.”. Are great for this: we can...

Learning to Savour: December 2012
http://learningtosavour.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, 20 December 2012. A few things brought this 3 year old poem fresh to mind yesterday:. 1) I finally found a beautiful recycled glass jug at Ten Thousand Villages to replace the one the cat broke all those years ago; and we christened it last night, filled with water to rehydrate the cells after some lovely ruby red Carmenere. 2) Brianna's kind invitation to guest blog on her 'winter survival plan' brain child, Reflections on Darkness. How we get there is where we arrive.". Today love was simply ...

Learning to Savour: January 2013
http://learningtosavour.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, 10 January 2013. Comforting food for a winter's day: Sausage and Bean Casserole. The slow cooker is a wonderful invention! And so is the sausage. And the humble bean. Combine all these wonderful things with a few other wonderful things and you get the most perfect supper for a cold winter’s day. It’s comforting and tasty, with savoury and sweet flavours balancing each other wonderfully, and with a beautiful hint of smokiness too. Only three hours to wait! 1 sweet potato, peeled and diced. Sausa...

Learning to Savour: A Good Question
http://learningtosavour.blogspot.com/2013/01/a-good-question.html
Wednesday, 2 January 2013. Never underestimate the power of a question. Don’t dismiss it as mere herald to the all-powerful answer,. Or despise its uncertainty as feeble or unsafe. A good question is full of life. It bursts with the curiosity and promise of undiscovered worlds. Its key turns the lock of never-opened doors. So don’t let your own question spill heedlessly from your mouth. Instead, turn it,. Like a hard toffee between tongue and teeth. Savour, smooth and hone it. Changed beyond recognition,.

Learning to Savour: The Year in a Word
http://learningtosavour.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-year-in-word.html
Friday, 4 January 2013. The Year in a Word. A few days before 2012 reached its timely end, my friend Joanna asked me a question I wouldn’t have asked myself. And that I didn’t instantly have an answer for. She was the perfect person to ask me this question, since she has become good at exploring it herself on her blog. What word would I pick to sum up my 2012? 8220;Is that allowed? Firstly, I mean being HERE in the sense of physically here in Canada. Getting my eyesight corrected with laser surgery might...

Learning to Savour: June 2012
http://learningtosavour.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 12 June 2012. What Love Does {More Reflections on the Most Excellent Way}. I am so grateful Love came to me and called me today. I am so grateful that the To-Do list was left behind and that I remembered what love is and does. Love makes space for the other. The unfurling happens slowly at first, then with growing boldness and freedom, as each new leaf or tendril meets the sun and moisture it craves. And isn’t this what love does? Isn’t it always running to meet us? I pull her to me and look int...
