Small is beautiful!!!

So, so many little things make me happy....

Baby snuggles and butterfly kisses

Reading out loud and sharing love and laughter with my family

Sunshine, trees, spring rain, blossoming flowers, singing birds....

Long walks

A good book before the kids wake up!!

Uplifting conversation

Good coffee

Organic food

Reusable bags

Volunteering

Writing

Fuzzy socks and a warm shower on a cold Alberta day..... :)


Happy new year everyone!

May you be blessed with the joy of little things throughout 2008!

Namaste,
Shannon:)

Yes, definitely!! My job offers the opportunity for immense self-development, learning and spiritual growth in a loving, but ever changing environment. Not for the faint of heart, it requires: adaptability, patience, humility, creativity, diplomacy and negotiating skills, altruism, basic knowledge of "everything under the sun and beyond", multi-tasking, forgiveness, compassion, rudimentary medical knowledge, cutting and pasting, cooking, cleaning, singing and dancing, the ability to endure long, cold winters indoors (because my employer refuses to wear his snow suit!!), facilitation skills, love, hugs, copious amounts of reading, lots of laundry, travel, building with blocks, playing with play dough and watching "Bob the Builder" over and over and OVER again..... To date, on the job training has included such things as: how to survive and thrive on no sleep for years and years, breastfeeding anywhere, anyhow, anytime, co-sleeping for dummies, how to get eggnog out of Berber carpet, and power lifting for 90-pound weaklings! LOL :) Seriously, my job is an absolute blessing. I am so very grateful to have it. It calls me to be my best self 24/7....Lucky for me, my "employers" are very forgiving when I don't quite meet my targets! As for compensation, well, I am compensated with more hugs, kisses, tenderness and hand written notes than anyone I know...
