Coffee in the Quarry Sitting to take a few mindful minutes outside...it's calm...the rain is coming. As I take some deep breaths I settle my attention to the sweet sounds of the little ones. My nervous system is set for the day. Cheers To you... I hope you are all doing well and taking good care of yourselves. What are some things you're doing to take care of you? Have a good day everyone. Let me introduce to you my left foot rock Much Love #selfcare #thequarry #outsidecafe #sitspot #cheers

Coffee in the Quarry Fascination with mosses...warmth, softness, whimsy...life. "One gram of moss from the forest floor, a piece about the size of a muffin, would harbour 150,000 protozoa, 132,000 tardigrades, 3,000 springtails, 800 rotifers, 500 nematodes, 400 mites, and 200 fly larvae. These numbers tell us something about the astounding quantity of life in a handful of moss." ... ~Robin Wall Kimmerer Have a good day everyone.

Coffee in the Quarry Saturday morning vibes... Pinching myself ... Have a good day everyone. In case you're looking for something to do today, I have a great idea....go outside. Look up, watch the clouds, listen to the birds, get your hands in the dirt, smell the spring smells. Much Love #selfcare #thequarry #outsidecafe #sitspot #grateful

Coffee in the Quarry Sweet sounds on this early Friday morning. I love the cheery morning song. Ok. It's possible that birds may sing just for the joy of it. ~Kyo Maclear... Sounds like joy to me... Have a good day everyone. I hope you are able to find some joy in your day, today. Much Love #selfcare #thequarry #outsidecafe #sitspot #joy

Outside Coffee Time Its a beautiful morning out here... I've been settled onto my perch for awhile this morning...I have all I need. Take a moment...right here, right now...and bring to mind three things you are grateful for...take a deep breath...let that sink in. Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home,... a stranger into a friend. ~Melody Beatty Have a good day everyone. Much Love #selfcare #outsidecafe #sitspot #gratitude

Outside Coffee Time Simple... "This moment is all there is." ... ~Rumi Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is never certain... now is all we have. Live for today...for this moment. Have a good day everyone. Much Love #selfcare #outsidecafe #sitspot #hereandnow

Where is your focus? Is it bapanced?

Outside Coffee Time Good morning moon, good morning sun. Hope you are able to make it out to sit and enjoy the early morning sky. "Even After All this time... The Sun never says to the Earth, "You owe me." Look What happens With a love like that, It lights the whole sky." ~Hafiz Have a good day everyone. Much Love #selfcare #outsidecafe #sitspot #sky

Outside Coffee Time Dark and so quiet...just perfect. Cities do sleep. A little Friday inspiration... When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully.... When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light. When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it. When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway. When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back. When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some. When you’re feeling tired, dare to keep going. When times are tough, dare to be tougher. When love hurts you, dare to love again. When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal. When another is lost, dare to help them find the way. When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand. When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile. When you feel great, dare to help someone else feel great too. When the day has ended, dare to feel as you’ve done your best. Dare to be the best you can At all times, Dare to be! ~Steve Maraboli Have a good day everyone. Much Love #selfcare #outsidecafe #sitspot #daretobe

Outside Coffee Time What a beautiful morning out here How's everyone doing? I have to tell you, I've missed sharing this early morning time with you. Yeah yeah, I know it's social media, it's not true connection, and we're all being manipulated and controlled (if you've watched 'social dilemma' you know what I'm talking about) But I feel like we can at least share a little goodness, which I think was likely social medias original intention? ... I just love saying good morning to you all, and sharing my ramblings Have a good day everyone. Much Love #selfcare #outsidecafe #sitspot #sharethegood

Are you ready for nature's autumn show?

This! I have this poem saved in the notes on my phone, read it often and use it as a guide. It is a strong reminder to always be true to myself, to live fully and deeply. It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing. It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.... It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain! I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it or fade it, or fix it. I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own, if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, to be realistic, to remember the limitations of being human. It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself; if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul; if you can be faithlessand therefore trustworthy. I want to know if you can see beauty even when it's not pretty, every day,and if you can source your own life from its presence. I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand on the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, Yes! It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up, after the night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done to feed the children. It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back. It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you, from the inside, when all else falls away. I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments. ~Oriah Mountain Dreamer See more

A peaceful morning in the city. I hope you have a nice weekend everyone.

If you are able, enjoy a sense of timelessness today.

Off the beaten path with my boy! Following the path of a deer. This time outside is more important than ever for our kids. With increased demands for them to be connected to screens and technology, we need the increase their connection to nature...for their physical, mental and emotional health. #foxwalk #natureimmersion

A meditative source of grounding, focus and joy. I am thankful for my bicycle! #flow #grounding #joy

Outside Coffee Time It's a gorgeous early Monday morning. 0 and feels like -2. Here's to early morning outside coffee. I want to say thank you to all who have followed along since the pandemic started, I have truly appreciated your good morning wishes. These early morning ramblings have been a nice way to connect during this difficult time and share a bit of goodness. For now, I feel drawn to taking a pause...feeling the need to get back to the root of my morning prac...tice...a little more quiet. "The quieter you become, the more you can hear." ~Ram Dass Have a good day everyone. Cheers to you xo Much Love and many thanks #selfcare #outsidecafe #sitspot #pause

Outside Coffee Time A crisp 6 - feels like 2 out here this morning. Thankful to have my coffee by the fire, immersed in this beautiful wild place. "it is a serious thing just to be alive on this fresh morning in this broken world." ~Mary Oliver... Have a good day everyone. Much Love #selfcare #outsidecafe #sitspot #gratitude

....."it would seem uncontroversial to enthusiastically promote efforts to achieve reference nutrient intakes of vitamin D, which range from 400 IU/day in the UK to 600800 IU/day in the USA. These are predicated on benefits of vitamin D for bone and muscle health, but there is a chance that their implementation might also reduce the impact of COVID-19 in populations where vitamin D deficiency is prevalent; there is nothing to lose from their implementation, and potentially much to gain."

Outside Coffee Time Sitting in the dark this morning, it's peaceful and calm...I love being out here when the city is still sleeping. I am looking forward to spending some time in the woods this weekend. Do you have plans to get outside this weekend? Wander in the woods? Sit under a tree? Walk on the beach? Get your hands dirty in the garden? There is pleasure in the pathless woods. There is rapture on the lonely shore. There is society where none intrudes, by the deep se...a and music in its roar. I love not man the less, but Nature more. ~Lord Byron Have a good day everyone. Thank you for continuing the follow along with my ramblings. Much Love #selfcare #outsidecafe #sitspot #outside
