Five Simple Things (August 25)

Hello.

Here are five things this week.

1. This cupcake.

It's getting closer to my birthday. Three days to be exact, and this cupcake is my early birthday gift to myself. It was almost too pretty to eat. It was absolutely delicious. I am looking forward to to turning 46 this year. I have had quite a year and it will be nice to close that chapter and start a new one on my journey around the sun.

2. This knot.

After trimming some trees on our property, I found this tree knot that looks like a human heart. I find stuff like this so fascinating. There are plenty of people that I know that would have overlooked this and just tossed it aside. But I find that being observant to other living things, even trees, you see the world so much differently. And when you see the world differently, it leaves you little signs and gifts.

3. This shadow.

Sometimes this house speaks to us.

4. These leaves.

The rain has knocked down almost all of the Hawthorn Tree leaves this week. They scatter on the sidewalks and walkways like little pieces of confetti. The Hawthorn trees are beautiful when they bloom fully and show off their bold pinks and light pink blooms. When the leaves fall and the blooms fade, I am always sad to see them go.

5. This rainbow.

We had a little bit of rain this week at the beginning and then towards the end of the week, especially on Friday. It rained for about 10 minutes then stopped. It was a small cloud burst, from what we read. It's a shame that it didn't rain a bit longer - we could really use it.

One last thing:

I recently ordered some SuperBeauty from Moon Juice. I am excited to use it. The supplement helps reduce fine lines, promotes collagen and skin elasticity, and free radicals.

Positive affirmations this week:

Move your body, stay consistent, selfcare, self love, and listen to your body. You can do this! 🌈
