Nature's Gift to You

The path to peace and inner joy is right outside your door. This morning, mother nature provided the gift of the first snowfall, right on time for Christmas Eve. and the Yuletide Season. Celebrating the wonder and beauty of nature is a gift to yourself. Walking today in the snow, I savored the crisp air, breathing slowly in and out. I felt the cool touch of winter on my cheeks and body, allowing the invigoration to seep into my bones. Winter is energizing in it’s own way, allowing us to experience our senses if we allow and notice it.

Snow is mother nature painting a canvas for you to enjoy and experience. My nature walks in the mornings are an immersion in savoring what I see, hear, sense, smell and notice. It is also meditative in the most basic way. This morning, with the snow crunching under my feet, I was able to reflect how beautiful nature is every day. This gift is something you can give to yourself every day, by just walking for a few minutes outside and allowing nature to soothe your soul.

There is peace to be found when you recognize your connection to the world around you. You don’t need to “find” your inner peace. It is always there, and like nature, you just need to notice and be one with it. Wishing all of you blessings of peace and love this winter and for the new year.
