Keep it Simple

So often I think we get caught up in the wants to make things better than before or more impressionable making a big meal, a big ordeal or a bigger experience but really the most necessary is love and presence.

I have seen this most with parents. We all truly want the best and better for our children. I have found that the times my child is most excited is when have had simple moments of just being together. Sometimes just having some cocoa peanut butter on a spoon together is the best moment. I have realized that the things that are held on to most are the ones with real impression, the impression that is made in the heart… togetherness. I have had just some fruit and bread only and we have sat on a floor and eaten that as our meal and it was perfect, the moments that my child tells me most about that he remembers is when we laughed together, the meals that are brought up most to have again are the simplest and the things that are most enjoyed is when we bake together.

We all can get caught up in the “more!” mentality, especially this time of year and the commercial pollution of needing to buy more and do more in order to actually feed the machine of the corporations not the human soul or life at all. I see that this is all on purpose, when we are focused more on what the commercials and world tell us we should be doing we are disconnected from the source, our light gets dimmed and connections are fabricated instead of woven into loving lasting memories. After all, it isn’t the stuff that really matters most but how we feel and the memory that is shaped.

Want to know some simple and inexpensive favorites for fun meals? Have a coffee that you want to share? Let me know one of your favorite moments and or memories that reminds you now again to keep things simple. There is already so much to celebrate, let us not get lost in the man made lights forgetting how important the one true light is.
