Beauty at Unexpected Moments and Places

Image from the December 2010 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine

You may have noticed Élan's new subtitle:  Stumbling upon beauty every day .  It is my most fervent wish to live more fully in the moment and two ways I have discovered to help me do that are: to notice your breath (yoga class) and to notice and acknowledge beauty wherever/whenever you can (Simple Abundance). 

Today:
  • The Autumn sunlight on the yellow leaves of the apple tree in the back yard;
  • The perfect fit of V's body against mine when we have our Saturday morning snuggle;
  • The image (above) that I stumbled upon when I opened Oprah's Spirit Newsletter;
  • The color and texture of the miscellaneous yarns in my window seat, waiting to be knit up.

May beauty surprise and delight you today.

Bonne journée,

Stella
