Surround Yourself with Beauty

Emily Dickinson wrote: "Beauty is not caused. It is."  I am surrounded by beauty and I love to photograph it as much as I can.  I believe photographs carry energy which can be positive or negative.  Placing photos in our environment that are positive and uplifting can renew us daily and help us to feel energized.  Photos of those we love can help us feel a sense of belonging and help us remember that we are important to others.  Photos of nature can remind us that there is always something beautiful for us to see... it is never ending.  Surround yourself with beauty and notice the difference it makes in your energy level.  I believe it works and will also help us to discover stillness within us.

A Way to Discovery

Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.- Frank Lloyd Wright  

I think nature is one of the most reliable ways to discover stillness. When we cannot find stillness in our busy lives, we can turn to nature and follow its cues. Each season speaks to our soul- reminding us that life is made of seasons and we cannot rush through them. We must embrace them and allow them to happen. Nature can heal us and lead us to the Healer. Trust in the beauty that surrounds us, know it is there for our benefit and realize it can teach us great lessons as we allow it. It is one true way to discovering stillness.
