Celebrate Slow & Steady

/in , , /by

Hiya;

Slow and steady wins the race to joy.

Congratulations! You made it to Thursday. Let’s celebrate that fact.

It’s important to celebrate our steps forward no matter how small they feel. Progress is progress. Delaina wrenched her thumb the other day and has been wearing a brace to help support her hand and also as a reminder to take it slow and steady. 

Speaking of slow and steady, our Hello Caregiving YouTube Channel is pumping up. Yes, we added two fitness guys that we feel really get the ‘aging gracefully’ thing. But don’t take our word for it, check them out for yourself. They are under the “Resources” heading where you will also find “The Pocket Psychologist;” who we love because she is full of stress relieving tips. We can all use that, right?!

Also… Speaking of stress relief:

We have added some Mantra Mandala Coloring Pages to Fourthwall. Check them out if you are feeling the world to be a little drab. And please, if you decide to give them a try, share pictures of your creativity with us for a bit of fun. 

Here’s your gentle reminder: fill your day with the little things that make a difference to you. One fit, stress free, colorful moment at a time.

In love, light, and joy

Delaina and Kristin

P.S. What’s something fun you’ve done for yourself lately. We’d love to hear.

Hiya!

There are some great things we are enjoying and want to share with you.

 The fabulous Carina Bissett of “Storied Imaginarium” on Substack has published a new anthology Fractured Reveries: A Storied Imaginarium Salon full of brilliant writers. Two of those writers are Helen Patrice and Allison Pang. You can also read Helen’s poetry in our anthology Paper Birds and Allison is responsible for the gorgeousness of Paper Birds. Keep in mind these are just two of the great minds that will take you on a journey in Fractured Reveries. If you haven’t picked up a copy we highly recommend you check it out.

 Delaina just finished reading Finger Exercises for Poets by Dorianne Laux. She loved it! The book is full of poetry prompts, examples, and it is great to read the poems through Dorianne’s eyes. Delaina, being Delaina, read the book through and will now go back through the book rereading and doing the exercises. She highly recommends this book to anyone that loves the magical puzzles of poetry.

Another recommendation by Delaina for poets and writers alike is to subscribe to “Storied Imaginarium” and “Two Sylvias Press’ Weekly Muse”. She feels her writing has improved greatly since subscribing. And that they both create fun and highly supportive environments to thrive within. Check them out.

 Let us know what books are you enjoying right now? What are your favorite Substack subscriptions?

 In love, light, and reading,
 Delaina and Kristin

Hello Friends;

We hope you are thriving through life’s moments. The challenges we face remind us of our authentic strength and that we rooted in light. Even in the moments when we can’t see our successes they are there. Just as the sun and the moon light the sky, we bring light to the world whether we believe in ourselves in any given moment or not. You are matter, your matter matters, and no matter what discouraging thing you might hear today you matter and you are loved.

Today we are sending love out into the world with poetry and music.

Delaina has decided to start sharing her poetry readings on Insight Timer along with her high vibe sounds and meditations. She has offerings that are free and part of Insight Timer Plus. Give her a listen here–Delaina on Insight Timer

 

We have added another video to our Peaceful Moments playlist.

This video is great if you are looking to: put a little pep in your step, feeling the powerful energy of the ocean, take a break, and entertain a loved one while you tackle a project.

You can find more of Delaina’s videos here at Delaina on YouTube

Good Morning!

Ah Spring, the trees that bloom rise as giant bouquets.
Give yourself a moment right now to enjoy Spring / Fall, both are beautiful seasons. It’s Spring here and it is so beautiful.

Mental Wellness made easy – with our creative spin on Mandala based Coloring.

These books also work well, if you enjoy creating in a ZenTangle style – larger spaces lead to more interesting & creative ways to color.

A Vision Board on Steroids with Positive Prime

/in /by

Do you like watching mind movies but wish you could make them more personalized – and more powerful? I LOVE watching mind movies, but I hate to search around the web to try one that looks meh, only to have advertising pop up, and to discover some of those mind movies are not things I really want to watch (too busy, not my goals, not my music etc …)

If this is you, keep reading, because we have discovered a fabulous new way to enjoy powerful mind movies – customized – that you will just love.

Introducing, Positive Prime!

 

Positive Prime is an easy to use software that combines amazing photography, together will delightful music, taking your Mind Movie experience to a whole new level. (and you can even get started for free!) You can enjoy the sessions on your phone, tablet or computer.

You can further customize your Mind Movies in Positive Prime to be as long as 15 minutes – and as short as 3minutes!

Why would you want a 3 minute Mind Movie??  This is so your beautiful brain can’t say no, that’s not true, etc … because it is all going by so fast.

WOW! It was so busy when I tried it, but now I am expecting it, and I just relax into them.

Positive Prime has created a number of different “themes” for their mind movies – depending on your interests. So each day you can choose a different mind movie, personalize them (only have to do this once) and sit back and let the mind movies do the work. So Much FUN!

Check out Positive Prime HERE

What’s more, you can upload your own personal pictures to your Positive Prime account, and you can SEE Yourself in the Mind Movies! (What a great way to use all those selfies on your phone!)- Adding your own photos is available at the paid levels, which start at 10 bucks a month.

In my case, I added a ton of my photos to my Positive Prime account- easily from my phone. All those selfies, photos of places I have visited and would like to return, and lots of other images – making my Positive Prime Mind Movie sessions more like a Vision Board on steroids!

We are 3 months in to our Positive Prime experience  (it’s October 2020), and I must say, it has really made a positive difference in our lives.

If this sounds fun to you, why not check out Positive Prime today?
