Happy Monday all!
And welcome Summer!! :)
A few months ago, I was contacted by a really sweet girl named Liz regarding featuring me and my home on her site called "Gentle Living".
Here's a little about "Gentle Living" written by Liz for her blog:
Gentle Living: A spiritual niche of sorts. A way of living.
A manner of being. A striving for better. A loving of what is.
"I’m Liz. I’m a sensitive Cancer, a recovering lawyer, an animal lover, a traveler, a writer…
I believe people should treat
themselves better, treat others better, and be kinder to animals and our
planet. We’re all connected and our lives have a deeper meaning than
some of the day to day things that preoccupy us.
I am a champion of the underdog and a
believer in giving a voice to the voiceless, human and animal alike. I
am highly sensitive and a bit of an emotional savant, I see the world in
colors of emotion, I see things many can’t.
I used to believe in stress and
overwhelm, trading money for misery, and working to please only others.
Now I believe in doing what comes naturally, what’s creative, what
brings the most joy, and what does the most good.
I love writing to inspire others to
be kinder to themselves and the world around them. Selfishness, greed,
ego, apathy and disregard are old-paradigm thinking. We’re all meant to
be loved and respected and to thrive. I believe that we should all use
our unique strengths to contribute to the world. I believe that small
consistent actions can have big impacts.
Gentle Living is a lifestyle blog. It embraces everything involved in living a gentle but powerful life. From self-love & acceptance (including a shy girl’s manifesto series), to animal welfare, to travel, to home decor,
it’s all gentle; not weak, just gentle. Being gentle is sometimes the
most powerful thing you can do for yourself and the world around you.

**Liz also runs a travel company called "Your Time travels", where she currently books African Safari's so you can see the animals in their natural habitat.

I just read your feature over there, Melinda, and it's fabulous! So are the eye candy photos of your home. I love what you say about our Blessed Mother, too - gentle and yet so powerful.
ReplyDeleteWonderful job and I'm sure your words resonated with a lot of people. :)
Hi Melinda,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful excerpt from Liz's blog Gentle Living. I visited her site and tried to follow via google friend connect but can't find it; I don't have a twitter or a facebook; I'd love to follow her!
Have a lovely week,
Jenah

ReplyDeleteHi Melinda,
ReplyDeleteOh I really enjoyed reading that article about you!!! You really do have an eye for the most beautiful things, and you put it all together sooo nicely!!! I've missed your posts since I've been on and off blogland, so it's such a treat for me to be able to read more things about you - we have so much in common. I hope to be able to get together with you before the summer is over. I am taking a summer course and it has been keeping me on my toes again!!!
How is your photography class going? I'm sure you are doing really well!!! Take care and chat with you soon.
