Do you remember them? Those moments when you were thinking I wish this moment would last forever. It is just perfect. Everything is the way it is supposed to be. You feel pure joy and happiness.
You feel harmony and oneness with everything and everyone.
There are moments in our life. Precious moments. When everything seems just right. Have you had one of those moments? I hope you had many. Sometimes those moments come when you least expect them. They can surprise you anywhere at any time.
It can be right here right now while you are reading this article are or you are hearing me talking about it. I believe life is truly amazing and I treasure those precious moments whenever they come.
I feel fortunate to have had many of those wonderful precious moments in my life throughout my days. All I need to do is close my eyes for a second, take a nice deep breath, and feel the serenity, the joy, and the oneness around me.
It is truly wonderful to be able to feel this way.
I feel blessed and grateful to be able to experience the wonders of life in the peaceful moments when you feel everything’s good, everything the way it’s supposed to be, and it is going to be okay.
Life can bring hardships and difficulties into our lives; that could be trouble at work, at home, with your car, with your family. It is important to take the time and enjoy your precious moments.
Enjoy the present and treasure them.
Take that second as you step out the door to look up at the sun and the sky.
Enjoy the view. Look at the trees take a breath and just stand there, stop to stop for a moment. The more you stop and enjoy the present moment the more you will have the feeling of those perfect moments, and the feeling of oneness and serenity around you.
It is also helpful if you come up with a little mantra for yourself whatever works in those moments when you stop. You can change it up any way you like it. The main idea is to bring a positive, supportive message to yourself and everything around you.
Mine is:
“I am love. I am joy. I am gratefulness. My home is stillness.
You are love. You are joy. You are gratefulness. Your home is stillness.
We are love. We are joy. We are gratefulness. Our home is stillness.
All is love. All is joy. All is gratefulness. All our home is stillness.
Everything is love. Everything is joy. Everything is gratefulness. Our home is stillness.
Love is Stillness. Everything is stillness.
I am love. I am joy. I am gratefulness. My home is stillness."

I am sure you have heard me using these words before. They still stay with me and provide the peace and joy I need in my life. I hope they bring you the same feeling.
I truly believe that when you tap into the stillness in the present moment around you: you will have the feeling that everything you need is already within you.
You are amazing. You have the most beautiful power that anyone can ever have. Love and joy and the stillness of the perfect moment are already within you.

Lift Your Spirits Up - Bringing Love And Joy Into Your Life
This is a simple meditation practice you can do. I created this practice and I do this practice every day multiple times a day. This practice makes me feel calm and content. You can do this any time, anywhere with slight variation. I even do this in my car while driving. You are welcome to use this practice or create your own. I also created a voice recording that you can listen to if you like. Let’s begin.

Pints & Parkruns: Jubilee, Spennymoor
If MC Escher created a parkrun, it might look a bit like Jubilee. Based in a compact – but surprisingly lovely – park in the small County Durham town of Spennymoor, it twists and turns its way up repeated hills. Although basic physics says it must come down again, somehow this route never feels like it gives runners a proper descent.

Clinging to Childhood
The playground is empty, as it should be past sundown. There is a warm breeze, and I can see everything despite the late hour. What time is it, anyway? It could very well be past midnight. I can never keep track of time, especially in the summer. A prickly piece of popcorn hides like a stowaway in the left cup of my padded training bra. I stuffed the tissue in last minute— a decision I’m beginning to regret, based on the events that are unfolding rapidly before me. To my left, laying non-chalantly on his back, is my date for the evening. He is two years older, could probably grow facial hair if he wanted to, and drives a secondhand Honda. He may as well be a Man. I, on the other hand, feel like a fraud with my too-short short-shorts, sparkly lip gloss, and makeshift push-up bra. I keep my arms pinned to my sides as I feel the dreaded circles of sweat beginning to manifest on my brand new Abercrombie top. I cup my elbows with my hands and stare down at my hint of cleavage, praying that the tissue doesn’t pop out like a white flag surrendouring my lack of womanhood.
