The very secret of life for me, I believed, was to maintain in the midst of rushing events an inner tranquility. ~ Margaret Bourke-White
Bonjour.
Welcome to an *almost* brand new month. I SO enjoy the reflective process of sitting down with my Daybook to tie a bow around the former month and dream up the next one. Watch for my process on the blog over the next few days.
This week on Tranquility du Jour I shared tips on mindfulness and my own struggle, a penchant of stripes and polka dots in things I love, a peek inside my weekly writing jaunts to New York, my Tranquil Space muse on celebrating tranquility, and a homemade jam giveaway.
I enjoyed five days in Oklahoma with my parents {in upper right pic} last week crafting, remembering my beloved Gramma, chatting for hours, soaking in their claw foot tub, savoring sunshine on my skin {thank you vitamin D}, learning to single stitch crochet, and watching movies. The downtime offered a lovely shift in perspective and routine.
To learn more about perspective and routine shifts, join moi and a lovely group of global ladies for the 4-week Tranquility Project starting March 5. The experience is chock-full of ways to deepen your connection to mind, body, and soul tranquility tools and will not be offered again this year.
Also, if you missed January's release of the 24 Days o' Tranquility e-course, it is now available for working at your own pace.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. Wishing you moments of reflection, deep breaths, and belly laughs. You are beautiful.
Bisous,
Kimberly
