What small soul-healing gifts do you give yourself without any fuss or fanfare?

1 Answer

Answer :

A Happy Brownie and just wandering around my property in nature. Always a healing and peaceful experience. I can spend hours in a timeless space just communing with the animals and collecting seeds from my flowers and tending to my plants. My favorite is to get a little high and water my yard, mist the trees, make rainbows, catch the breeze with the hose and mist myself. Happy Brownies and watering at sunset is my zen time. ;-)
