Life. Is Beautiful.

Today, I looked around at the aftermath of the week's activities and sighed at the mountain of housework at hand. Then, for whatever reason (Divine Intervention?), my perspective shifted and I was inspired to snap some shots of the everyday vignettes you see here.  Flowers past their prime...

...dirty dishcloths hung out to dry

...and cobwebs and dust awaiting my attention.  (Oh, trust me, they're there.)

From my new perspective I could see...right alongside my long "to-do" list was also the beauty of life.   — So glad I didn't miss it.

P.S.  I wrote this post yesterday and today, watched Super Soul Sunday.  I was happy to see it was an interview with Rainn Wilson, talking with Oprah about his production company and life's passion to bring spirituality to the world in a fun, playful way: SoulPancake.  

I've mentioned before how much Alex and I both look forward to Super Soul Sunday {see my post "Soulful"} and we always enjoy the quirky, humorous and touching SoulPancake features.  

Today, interspersed throughout and after the interview, they showed several SoulPancake videos.  I particularly found the "Air Orchestra" heartwarming:

  

There was another SoulPancake video shown right after the interview that sent me marching out to my studio to publish this post I had written yesterday. –Watch it and you'll see why.  :) 






Wishing you a beauty-filled day!~L

Pashupatinath Temple is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.  
The program catalogues, names and conserves sites of outstanding cultural or natural importance to the common heritage of humanity.  

Have you  been keeping up with Oprah's Super Soul Sunday? If not, I highly recommend that you do. Featured in Maui Hawaii this week was Dr. Wayne Dyer, one of my favorite spiritual teachers, talking about the significance of  "I AM" and his latest book, Wishes Fulfilled.  

Super Soul Sunday is 2 hours of inspiration each week including the heartwarming series, SoulPancake.  One of our favorite SoulPancake productions was filmed at the beach just a few blocks from our house.  [Watch it here: Heart Attack]

Another feature I'm loving on Super Soul Sunday is the "What About Me?" series:  It's about two British filmmakers who travel to locations in fifty countries around the globe to create a musical compilation of vocal and instrumental artists -both well-known and obscure- in their quest to "unlock the secrets of life."    View trailer:  What About Me? - Episode:  "Grace"

I hope you are able to find Super Soul Sunday in your area.  It is for every person in every walk of life.  No matter your religious or cultural background, you can benefit from the universal messages shared.   My daughter and I find it an uplifting, inspiring way to start our week.  I think you will too! 
Warmly~







P.S.  Please pass this along to your friends - Let's support and thereby encourage more quality programming like this in our world!
