To nurture my   soul I love to walk in nature and admire His handiwork  and

also love beautiful music  and being by the ocean.

Engaging  in painting and drawing from nature  with nature sounds and music to keep my thoughts and mind in a peaceful  place.

Saying extra prayers for family and friends and those who need them.  Thinking of my experience sitting at the grotto in Lourdes  with my husband John Hannon

What feeds mat soul:     Sacred Silence, journeying with mystics, nature, music, cooking, friendships, and my beloved houseplants

Beauty.  Beauty.  Beauty.

Going for a walk in the beauty and wonder of creation always speaks to my soul! Today Dane Street Beach in Beverly offered me alleluia moments! The spring green of the trees and the calm of the Atlantic offered me peaceful hope!

I sit in quiet attention of the rich hues seen this photo.

Soon I am completely called to its center.

I allow myself to BE in the present moment.

We become transformed, BECOMING one as we

are meant to be one with the God of the universe....

I walk and enjoy nature whether it be the ocean or a forest

While meandering through the gentle hills alongside clear flowing rivers I came across this road. It appealed to me like it was the entrance to heaven. It has been the wallpaper on my phone ever since. Whenever I look at this picture, I feel peace, it grounds me.

I like taking drives in New England. We have nearly every kind of landscape imaginable--farms, hills, rivers, mountains, sand dunes, etc. Breaking out of my routine to take a scenic ride is often exactly what I need to nurture and replenish my soul. I can sense my soul communing with God here.

I nurture my soul with having a time of morning prayer using  booklets with daily scripture and reflections.

I also listen to spiritual talks when going for a walk or enjoy sitting at the beach.

To nurture & replenish my soul I turn to the wonders of nature via walks, hikes and gardening. God's existence and daily presence in our lives is always affirmed for me by the many marvelous and mysterious wonders he has created and creates continually.

“Music in a Sacred Space replenishes my soul”

# data[].attributes.body
I do many things to nourish and replenish my soul. Like many people I take time everyday to be mindful of my place in God’s creations and ask God to help me be a positive force in my daily encounters with others. That’s my daily prayer and it is essential to my soul’s health. Special things that I do that nurture my soul: Walks and hikes in nature, attending church, going to a concert, planning an Associates meeting, attending an associates meeting, being with family and friends. Just a few examples of what is “good for my soul”.

~I receive quick renewal whenever I look up at the sky.  It is always doing something new, and it is often quite beautiful.  The vastness and openness of the sky gives me a lift and reminds me of heaven above us.
~When I have more time, I find replenishment in walking slowly around our yard (or our town) to look at the flowers.  My husband is a creative gardener, and he comes up with new ideas for plantings every season.
~The most restorative thing I do is to sit in silence with God or to talk with God.  That always brings peace and re-centering

Here's a Haiku I wrote one day sitting on a bench near the Charles River in Dover, MA.  I stood and gave God a long
standing ovation for the beauty surrounding me.
Resplendent beauty
Song of praise to its Maker
Standing ovation

I love to sit on a bench or swing outside and just gaze quietly at the glory of God's creation.  It truly nourishes my soul and calms my inner being.

Cross stitching connects me to my God. I can admire his creation through as I work.

I chose this sunset because people were there who celebrated its beauty

The bird brought me closer to God's creation at the beach today

I nourish my soul by: contemplating on a mantra,  and:  sharing with family and friends, especially SASV family.
