Find a sacred pause filled with sweetness every day.
There is an opportunity. Every day. To look for, notice, see, be graced by something sweet. The most simple, quiet acts of kindness.
They are there. Present. Every day.
Some days, we are D.O.N.E.! Some days are filled more with whining, complaining, tantrums, and crying. Patience posted about being D.O.N.E. Yep. Been there. There often! But as she so beautifully captured, in words and in images, there is always a grace. A tiny bit of grace. This is honestly the place of new birth, where creativity is born, and beginning again with even more focus and vigor and HEART lies. Check out how riiiiight before Patience launched a beautiful new kindness project, she had this “Grrrrrr day.” And see what bloomed out of that – the Magic Wand Project.
I have to remind myself to pause. To breathe. To soak up some act of kindness, tiny as it may be. And no matter how many tears have been shed that day (mine or my children’s!), I find that when I stop and intentionally PAUSE, the pause becomes SACRED. Not of my doing or creation. But of the Divine – found right in the hands of my greatest teachers, my children.
Find a sacred pause in your day today.
(Coming soon!…a video series about finding a sacred pause in everyday life!).
Blessings of delight,

That photograph! Oh! It makes my breath catch in my throat. Beautiful.
Linsdsey, and you know, of course, this was just one of those “just pick up the iphone and snap a pic” instances — spontaneous — just to capture the moment whether it was a good shot or not.
Reminds me of hte beautiful one you did of Grace — looking down on her from above and how you captured her eyelashes. Soooo lovely.
Thank you for this great post and advice Lisa. I do that. I try to do it all the time, but of course there are days when it seems impossible. When I take that extra moment to breath and calm down, it changes the whole situation.
