Christmas stress? This will cheer you!

Having a bit of trouble getting into the Christmas Groove? No problem, you don't have to put up 3 trees, you don't have to string a lighted garland all the way across your roof-line or bake 700 cookies.. Really, you don't! I am not going to this year, I am taking it easy and doing it simple. Relax for 5 minutes with this video; it just makes you feel joyous!
 There, wasn't that nice?!

  6. Oh Jeri,love that. I was greeted by a children's impromptu violin concert at the local Whole Foods today. I am cutting back this year too, though not nearly enough, it's a start. Best wishes for your holidays.

  7. Good morning my friend.

    Yes...to make harmony, not war. To make art, not destructive expressions of hate. To make music, to dance and sing. I think this is what we were meant to do as well as all the other "duties" we need to fulfill in life. But loving expression is a lost art of the human soul. Oh how this got me ready to face Monday morning! LOVE!!!! Anita

  11. JERI LANDERS!

    First of all, I told Irina about her win! She is thrilled and will probably contact you soon.

    Secondly, I could not help but think of YOU the entire time I was working on my new post because of the animals, especially of that darling little donkey in the first picture. All I could think of was Jemima and also Penny's creation! teeehehehe I love their ears; they remind me of coconuts when you open them up....see my crazy view of things?

    Dearest Jeri, I wish you peace and overwhelming joy as you celebrate with those who were " among the first to be there."

    1. When I saw those donkeys I saw my sweet ladies too! Identical faces. You love their ears? I love their muzzles and their funny upper lip, which looks like a camel. They are soooo soft.
