Making Time for Silence
Amid all the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, it’s so important to set aside times for silence, meditation, and contemplative thought. How ironic that this season of light, giving, and good cheer can often lead to stress and feelings of inadequacy; how easy it can be to get caught up in the commercialism and sense of urgency. The busier we are, the more we need that quiet time! Take some time with us this Sunday to sit in silence and breathe in the quiet joy of the season.
Quotes to ponder
“Make peace with silence, and remind yourself that it is in this space that you’ll come to remember your spirit.” ~ Wayne Dyer
“There are times when we stop, we sit still. We listen and breezes from a whole other world begin to whisper.” ~ James Carroll
“Quiet is peace. Tranquility. Quiet is turning down the volume knob on life. Silence is pushing the off button. Shutting it down. All of it.” ~ Khaled Hossein

Gratitudes
We are so grateful for quiet times, sitting and sipping a cup of tea or glass of wine in front of the twinkling Christmas tree, remembering all the goodness that filled our lives over the past year. We hope you are enjoying all that this Season of Light and Love holds.
“You simply will not be the same person two months from now after consciously giving thanks each day for the abundance that exists in your life. And you will have set in motion an ancient spiritual law: the more you have and are grateful for, the more will be given you.” ~ Sarah Ban Breathnach

Car-eography
You
may park in the driveway, as well as diagonally along the north side of
our property. Should those areas become full, please park out on Hwy
1, which has plenty of space and a nice wide shoulder. Do watch for
passing cars as you are exiting and entering your vehicle, though! The
carport area is reserved for folks with special parking needs. Out of
respect for our neighbors, we ask that you kindly refrain from parking
on Evans Drive beyond our property line. Car pooling is encouraged. We
also have a bike rack for cyclists!
