Experiencing Heaven on Earth

Acceptance, and Surrender to this began long ago

and waxed and waned, but as today exemplified

heaven can be had on earth and more and more

it’s my joy to discover this in others .Perfect days

of ease , or quickly slaying a dragon , ie taking

care of business , then getting back on the

light side ❤️. Today brought much joy after

a huge disappointment , but I released it , knowing

all is in perfect order , and soon , very soon,

keeping my momentum up and not wavering

in my faith , with patience and intent of heart

I don’t doubt, nor worry ..

all is well with my soul ..

Blessings & Peace ,

Doña Luna

The Healing Power of Gardens: Oliver Sacks on the Psychological and Physiological Consolations of Nature – Brain Pickings

Women in rural areas live longer , so I’m in total

alignment , have had several successful gardens

in the last 9 years , several successful gardens

with my marriage ..

It’s very much of this Pisces truth, my hands like

planting seeds , creating and harvesting . It has

been a challenge , but as of 2016 , it’s been container

gardening , which a friend who organic gardens

told me we’re better than his 🤩. Soon I will

be graced with my own home , finally abled

to plant and watch growth without implied

or actual threat to moving again .

Blessings & Peace,

Doña Luna

Neuroscience Reveals How Gratitude Literally Changes Your Brain to be Happier

I swear by this truth , personally !

We often hear about the power of gratitude for creating a more positive and happy mental state. But did you know that gratitude literally transforms your brain? According to UCLA’s Mindfulness Awareness Research Center, regularly expressing gratitude literally changes the molecular structure of the brain, keeps the gray matter functioning, and makes us healthier and happier. When you feel happiness, the central nervous system is affected. You are more peaceful, less reactive, and less resistant. And gratitude is the most effective practice for stimulating feelings of happiness.
