New Inspirations

/in , , /by

Hiya!

Okay friends, we’ve got a few new things coming your way. We’re pretty excited about them so here we go:

First, we’ve created a new mug design and you inspired it. You have been following us for a while so you know how proud we are of our mandala art. But you might not know that it was our gratitude for you that kept us striving to create our Mantra Mandalas. We know a lot of you were disappointed when the plug was pulled on our Mantra Mandala Mugs. Well we have finally found a partner that will help us put those mugs back in your hands. To celebrate we added a splash of color as part of the new design. (Delaina’s decadent crush project.) We started with ‘Love’, because that is what we feel for you. And what better time to bring more love into the world than right now. Am I right?

Second, Delaina has finally convinced herself to try haibun poetry. You might be wondering what that has to do with new things. Well maybe it doesn’t. But she found a, new to her, poet and some great articles about writing haibun to share with you. If that sounds like something you’re interested in…click the links below:

 

And we saved the best news for last…

Kristin is ready to let you in on her secret project. It’s something we’ve been wanting to do for a while but life kept getting in the way. As it does. It’s an activity book to help with engagement and entertain the older guy in your life. We hope to have it ready in time for the Holidays. Fingers crossed, please and thank you.

We hope you are doing well, staying focused on the love there is in the world, and sharing that dynamic light that you are with the world through your voice and creations.

Let us know what you think about our new mug design. And tell us what your decadent crush project is?

In love, light, and haibun,
Delaina and Kristin

Thank you for your support and for being in our lives.

Feed Your Soul

/in /by

Yesterday, Delaina bathed in the poetry of Mary Oliver. Her new ritual is to read one poem a day. Absorb it into her soul. Then write one of her own. The poem was “June” from Owls and Other Fantasies.

Then we loaded up a handpan to visit with our friends at Prairie Elder Care. It was an emotional afternoon as we haven’t really been there since our Bob passed. But it was also healing to see his friends and the people that cared for him and us during our journey. They are our PEC family and it was good to reconnect.

In the near future we will be sharing simple guides on in-home activities you can do with your loved one.

Have a great day friends. We love you.

In love, light, and gratitude,
Delaina and Kristin

Meanwhile, share with us your favorite daily ritual or favorite soul-filling activity.

Celebrate Slow & Steady

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.

Rainbows and Peaceful Moments

/in , /by

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

or more engagement videos for your loved one here at HelloCaregiving on YouTube

Let us know how you are doing.

In love, light, and purpose,
Delaina and Kristin
