Cups Overflowing

"He leads me beside still waters and restores my soul." -Psalm 23

In this season...

I sometimes wake with a sense of scarcity.
Scarcity of time.
Scarcity of resources.
Do you?

And then I watch a sunrise...

And I remember.
I have so much.

This month... a shift... just for this moment.

From:
A mindset of scarcity...lack... fear...
To:
A mindset of abundance... dwelling in the love... and beauty all around.

Simple Gifts
“Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.”
-Mother Teresa

My 8-year old daughter is generous.

She doesn't have a job.
But her hugs:

Deep + Abundant + Freely Given

I often forget that profound gifts can be that simple.

For example (add your own):

   A Smile 
      A Kind Word
         A Song

What can I give back to my daughter?

   A moment shared over a cup of tea
      Time
         Stillness
            Presence
It costs me nothing. Yet, is so simple.

The Secret
“Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these." -Luke 12:27

I am learning...

Such peace

can be found acknowledging nature's beauty.

A small moment

   My attention rests
     
A flower...starry sky...sunrise...
         
The aroma of mint
The warmth of my teacup

And in that stillness...
I feel overflowing.

“Look at a tree, a flower, a plant. Let your awareness rest upon it. How still they are, how deeply rooted in ‘just being’. Allow nature to teach you stillness. When you look at a tree and perceive its stillness, you become still yourself.” -Ekhart Tolle

Simply Enough
"You are God's masterpiece." -Ephesians 2:10

Actually, the Greek word in that passage:

Poiēma
You.
A poem.

Thoughtfully constructed, with love, intention & purpose.

To inspire.

When scarcity feels real

in this season...

I sip
slowly
& remember.

You, I, we are each...

a poem.
enough.

As always: 

Thank you 

I'm honored to be your herbal tea farmer. 

Be well,
Shannon
