Thank you for you faithfulness. It’s bedtime here (Nashville +7) and I’ve had a rough day health-wise. So I’m all tucked-up in bed, without lavender tea, and deciding whether I should read or not and wondering if Allison will do her Sunday List today. And, as if by magic, there you are. So thank you for some things to ponder before I drift off into dreamland. Px❤️

Thank you for this Easter Sunday list, as I try to rise above the daily challenges. Most of all, I want to thank you for my beautiful pink mandala print. It cheers me up, and brings me peace every time I look at it!

Love to you and yours, AM.

I'm holding off on opening my Mandela print until my birthday. But it came, and I can feel the energy through the envelope!

That photo is a stunner. Please paint it!

I love the passage from Melody Beattie. I'm reading her book on codependency. It's enlightening. She speaks to the soul.

Me as well well

Hi Allison

First let me thank you for writing today

I didn’t expect you to but what a nice surprise it is! And I too received my painting and I love it! I’m saving it for a special place in my new home in June

I plan to make a collection of your work that will hold a special place so that I might see them every day 😊 Finding the right frames will be a challenge I’m looking for to!

Todays post is filled with so many good messages.., it’s one of your post that I will need to reread several times and then apply. It’s such a pleasure to read your writing. I always feel your words. I hope that you will paint that beautiful photo and maybe you took other pictures while in the mountains you’d consider painting as well.

My momma use to make me an Easter basket every year. I thought of her today and remembered how much I loved that. Missed her today.

Thank you again for writing

🌷🌷🌷

I forgot to tell you, really like the artwork from your friend. Took me a minute to see the words Love & Fear

Then I understood the photo.

Love the artwork and of course the writing

Fall in love with yourself, it's as natural as breathing; just ask anyone who's ever seen you sing. And yes restore the two Justin's to their legislative positions, only then will the gigantic black eye that James Crow delivered to Tennessee can possibly begin to heal

Actually self love is really difficult to achieve if one doesn't have it. For me it is a giant struggle.

I wasn’t expecting writing from you today either. It was much needed and well received. And yes, those Rishi teas have ( almost) helped me to give up coffee ;) a beautiful ritual.

Personally, I highly recommend stillness. As far as how it feels? I am here as witness and to affirm, it feels Divine. True story. ;) (my two Pennies)

Grateful for this weeks ‘List’. It was perfectly poignant & purposeful & pearl-essence-sy. (Keep the hits coming! 💜)

Totally agree on the re-seating of the 2 representatives. That expulsion was a callous, cowardly act, yet somehow I’m not surprised it happened.

On a side note Allison, Rishi is the first name of our “new” British Prime-minister. According to the tea company’s website it means Seer, Sage or Seeker of Truth in sanskrit. Unfortunately that doesn’t really fit with many politicians I know! 😁

This is the short version of my book.

I also wanted to share with you that I grew up in the foothills of Asheville. I still own our old home place and land. It is bittersweet. I have written quite a few poems about that area.

I hope you enjoy.

Thank you for the Sunday List. Always welcomed and a place I like to to ground myself and find perspective. All the subjects, quotes, books, prints and thoughts. Chocked full of inspiration. Love my Journey to the heart book which mysteriously sat in a stack of books by the nightstand. I have to stay disciplined to only read one meditation a day. Love and miss the Smokey Mountains. Beautiful photo. The Santa Cruz mountains in California align with this photo.

I agree with you and Lou Hudson regarding Justin Jones and Justin Pearson. Praying for justice.

Our grandkids loved the egg hunt and baskets along with the adults!

We’re all kids at heart.

Thank you for your Easter Sunday list. A treat to enjoy w the Cadbury eggs. Just read Justin Jones has been voted back to the State House. Halfway there! Thanks too for your artwork. I found the mailer outside my front door late this afternoon. I’m so excited! The week is off to a great start. Hope that’s true for all of us. 🐣🌷💚
