Being available to Awe -Monica

On my most recent newsletter (link on the top right of this page) I talked about being available to awe.

I believe that the world is full of incredible and deeply precious magic.  And i believe it is everywhere.  On the hard days it can be more tricky to find it but mostly we just have to make ourselves available so it can turn up and floor us.

In the newsletter I suggested that people might like to go through their days making themselves available to awe and let me know how it went... over the next couple of posts i will share their responses.

This response is from the beautiful Monica Herald whom i have met online and learned to value for her deep kindness, her insight and wisdom and her very tangible warmth - it is in everything i have seen
her do.

I think you will agree with me by looking at these photos that the awe she found was rich and i found some of these made me tear up - the quality of connection and softness was beautiful.

​Here's where I've found awe this week:

​and the love these two have for each other

There is something so loving and soft about these images for me.  I notice the wide attention and the truth that miracles are everywhere - in the extraordinary (a seahorse!!! new life!!!  heartshaped stones!!!) and the seemingly ordinary (family gatherings and snuggling cats and yet as i write this i remember how remarkable it is to have family and that another animal learns to turst us enough to sleep and love in our presence)  How we nourish ourselves by noticing can change our hearts - mine feels better for just seeing these images..  

Thank you Monica!

It takes a tender heart to be sustained by the morsels of awe. It takes a valiant heart to know where to find them.

I loved this and genuinely found my heart softening. There is something in the ordinary that is so extraordinary and I am reminded of this. Thank you Monica and Jane. xx
