Hi Everyone,
This post is more reminiscent of some of my very first posts where I focus on my slowing down and mindful walking. School has started up again and now I can walk all of my kids to school in the morning and on the way home I like to slow right down and do a little bit of a walking meditation. It is truly amazing the small, little things you will start to notice once you slow down and pay attention on a route that I literally take everyday. Everyday there is something potentially new to discover. Last fall I started to look for the beauty in nature and was rewarded with these lovely hearts I found in leaves. I really needed this last fall as my family was working through a personal crisis and outwardly I needed to know and believe that there was still love in the world. It was there I just needed to find it again. And so I started to pay attention all fall looking for hearts in the leaves. I did collect a number of them but don’t remember now how many.
So now this fall I have challenged myself to find as many as I can on my school walks by myself but also with my children. And already in the last 2 days I have been rewarded with these finds.
The second heart is not in a leaf but I saw on the sidewalk while walking home this morning. The more you look for love and hearts the more you will just find them there around you. We just don’t always see.
I’m over on Instagram and will share my finds hopefully daily and would love to see the beauty you find this fall as well. I will be using the #heartsinleaves. You can find me at @Adalinc3 on Instagram.
