Notes from Nancy: Meditation, Craft Cards and Gifting


I decided to do the cards after reading a book called "Bliss More" How to succeed in Meditating Without Really Trying by Light Watkins. It's a book about how to meditate and provides a very easy way to meditate.
  
So for the last 5 weeks every day, I've been meditating.  It is a kind of miracle for me to do anything that regularly.  I've decided to meditate many times and then never made it past a couple of times.  Part of what the author suggests is an exchange to do in thanks for the meditation.  You are supposed to do something that is meaningful and a bit

difficult for you in exchange for the meditation- If you have a teacher who you are learning from you might make your exchange of gifts with them. If you are doing it on your own,  it could be a donation of money to a charity or doing something for someone  or group of someones (who are not someone/something you might do anyway.)  I thought about it a lot and decided to create cards and write in them for every person at Friends Care; our local nursing home.  It's been fun. I asked Corrine if she wanted to join in and do some too. and being a wonderful "yes" person she did!

Thanks Nancy I am glad you asked me. I hope the residents at Friends Care enjoy them as much as I enjoyed making them.
