Beauty - opening our eyes to the beauty that surrounds us

In todays world, we are exposed to various sources that tell us what is beautiful - and what is deemed ugly. Magazines, newspapers, television - god forbid even the internet, all seem to endeavour to put their idea of beauty onto us so we call it our own. Then there is cultural, religious, ethinic, etc influences which further "refine" our sense of beauty, until one day, we forget our authentic selves and go with what others have decided for us.

We forget the marvel that mother nature provides us, instead turning to artifical sources.

Today Sarah encourages us to see our world differently. "Let your eyes drink in the beauty that surrounds you" Today really look at your loved ones faces, and saviour them. Ignore the dirt on your youngest's face and see it as not an "ugly" thing, but as evidence as what fun he /she has had making those mud pies. The smile should be the trigger, yet more often than not, we only see the mess.

Over the past few days, I have embraced the 6 threads of abundant living. These are:

Gratitude, Simplicity, Order, Harmony, Beauty and Joy.

So dear reader - how have you honored your soul?????
