When I was invited to do a guest post at this delightful site of Trésors De Luxe, the first word that came to my mind to share about was BEAUTY. This site is all about beauty and I am all about raising our level of joy, and beauty and joy are wonderfully interrelated.

Along with the first thoughts we think as we wake and the thoughts we contemplate as we close our eyes at night, are the images we see. Have we tidied the bedside table and left ourselves a glass of water for when we wake? Have we kept the scary books away from our bedside and instead chosen art books with images of nature or statues or paintings? Have we chosen artwork for our walls that inspires us?

The very first thing we see when we open our eyes helps set the tone for our entire day. And this is not about money, for a bedside table can consist of a stack of books or a sturdy box, art books can be borrowed from the library, and artwork for our walls can be as accessible as our neighbourhood thrift store or an up-and-coming local artist, as long as the piece touches our heart and makes us feel good to look at it.

 Please consider these excerpts from Thomas Moore’s ‘Care of the Soul’:

“Care for our actual homes… however humble is also care of the soul. No matter how little money we have, we can be mindful of the importance of beauty in our homes.”

“Every day we will find moments when the soul glimpses an occasion for beauty, if only passing a store window and stopping for a second to notice a beautiful ring or an arresting pattern in a dress.”

“If we are going to care for the soul, and if we know that the soul is nurtured by beauty, then we will have to understand beauty more deeply and give it a more prominent place in life.”

“An appreciation for beauty is simply an openness to the power of things that stir the soul.”

 Let us acknowledge the importance of beauty and bring it into our surroundings. Let us nurture and care for the soul by choosing artwork for our walls and tables that inspires and uplifts. And let us remember to have hyacinths, or any flowers, on our bedside or kitchen tables to allow their beauty to help feed our soul. 

Warmest wishes for a beautiful day,

Gina

What brought you WordPress?

WordPress is, with due respect to other blog services, in my opinion the best, this is supported by the fact that many, much attention has been paid to its clients, through technical assistance, and other forms of cooperation with the bloggers! Particularly fascinated me, that some calm and brilliant, and very wide range, high quality blogs. All in all, an excellent blog service and much more!

What inspires you?

The  beauty of the human soul and generosity of heart with people of good will.

What lessons have you learned in life that you would like to share?

Many things, but here briefly. Something related to the broad scope of the blog as a medium to make friends, writing a blog I realized the truth that I want to share with you, the blog and knows no boundaries, no physical or spiritual, the blog I have met many people of different fate, selfless giving, but also more received, he became a true friend to people, socialized with many. Had a bad experience and caution is certainly necessary, but the friends that I met writing my blog are real people, although virtual, are people of good heart and noble soul, and no way I’d changed, even for some real!

Your Brilliantly Deployed Kisses

Written: © Maxima

Your kisses brilliantly deployed,

And framed

Just don’t review width of

  Twinkle

trodden paths

Range heart of the, Revisited

Bliss that – with no mercy

– Orchestra to be

Orchestra of the most engrossing

Instruments and sounds

That pushing aside the veil and shadow

The sources of our self-knowledge

He plays the most beautiful music of love

.. And all – signposts – absolutely

Lose their meaning

I love you

 This is my favorite poem…  

Written: © Maxima Electronic thoughts, 

Flowing in waves, So, am I bot?

I smile for the beautiful love that makes life worth living.

I cry for injustices that some bastards do to helpless women and innocent children.

I stretch in the morning, and brace the sunrise.

I cringe at night, for all wrongdoings and pray for forgiveness, before stars go nowhere in sight.

I cherish beautiful friends like you,  and curse those who mongers and make fun of you.

So, I am not a bot,  for in my heart, I cherish all of you!

We thank our guest blogger, Maxima, for the incredible energy and loving spirit to be our Featured Blogger of the month!
