WORD for 2011

Kelly, of Charming Girls Quilt Club, has asked us to think of word that we might find inspiring for the year.  A word that might help us along as we begin a new chapter. 

I take my word from yoga - MINDFULNESS.  Being mindful keeps your attention in the present moment.  There is no thinking about what should or could be done and, therefore, no anxious thoughts.  There is no living in the past, therefore, no regretful thoughts.  Be present and enjoy the moment.
I've used this symbol on a quilt.  It is the sanskrit symbol for "om."  The vibrations from chanting this mantra are supposed to bring a calm and assist in filling the lungs with new breath and with exhaling old toxins.

Namaste

  2. Yes, I like this word. I've been thinking about mine and hope to post it tomorrow. We are thinking along the same lines "no thinking about what should or could be done and, therefore, no anxious thoughts." Thanks for the post!
