Colouring and Mindfulness

Image
Coloring can be a wonderful activity for practicing mindfulness. Mindfulness is a state of active, non-judgmental awareness of the present moment. Engaging in coloring can help you focus your attention on the task at hand, allowing you to be fully present and immersed in the activity. Here are some ways in which coloring promotes mindfulness: Focus and concentration: When you color, you naturally concentrate on the colors, shapes, and patterns. This focused attention helps quiet the mind and brings you into the present moment. Sensory experience: Paying attention to the tactile sensation of holding the coloring tools, feeling the texture of the paper, and observing the colors as they fill the page can enhance your sensory awareness. Flow state: Coloring can induce a flow state, where you become fully absorbed in the activity. In this state, you lose track of time and worries, and your mind becomes calm and centered.

For an old friend...

Who am I? I am the honey from the bee, how deep the roots go. I am the tallest tree, I am the brightest eye.  I am the perfect circle. I am the stars in the sky.  Look at the stars, look how they shine for you. I am the creator, the giver. I am the clown.  I am the essence of the lion, strong and free. I am Shakespeare's greatest drama, "to be or not to be".  My girl, my girl, my girl, talking' bout my girl. You remember her? Well I am her and she is ME.  That girl with the red dress on...Who is SHE? She is the one who broke free, the light of day burning my eyes to see. Hi without the H please, for this is I, this is Me.  My knowledge is my light, my light is my truth, and my truth is my freedom.  I stand proud in my love, no falling for me.  The eyes of my heart they let me to see. Oh my brown eyed girl, this is for you, this is for She.

Summer...

Image
  We have been enjoying it! There's no doubt about that.  We've been camping, hiking, swimming, birthday partying, and more! Don't get me wrong, there's been some work mixed in there too, but for the most part we are trying to soak up what will be the last summer before we are officially in the school system...eek! Excited and ready for a new chapter to begin but also holding on to the lazy mornings and freedom that summer brings.  Here are the next few market dates for summer, with Make It, coming up this winter (expect to see a load of new stuff for that!): AUGUST: FIREHALL FARMER'S MARKET Sunday August 4th // 10-2 Sunday August 18th // 10-2 NEW WESTMINSTER RIVER MARKET  Saturday August 31st // 12-5 810 Quayside Drive, New Westminster SEPTEMBER: FIREHALL FARMER'S MARKET Sunday August 1st // 10-2 NEW WESTMINSTER RIVER MARKET  Saturday September 28th // 12-5 810 Quayside Drive, New Westminster
