This is the first time in my life that I am consistently sticking to reading daily meditations. Occasionally I skip a day or two, and find time to go back to those readings later. This quote is from a few days ago, but it feels so relevant today, I‘m glad I waited. 💜💜💜

Today‘s reading is directly related to a problem I was venting about last night. Maybe you need to see it too. Love to all my Littens.

Owlizabeth Oooh yes! 6y
DivineDiana Good advice! ❤️ 6y

This quote from my readings this week really resonated with me! It has been tough to balance my certification classes this month with establishing my small life coaching business. I needed the reminder to enjoy all the creative progress I am making!

cobwebmoth I need this reminder.❤ 6y
alisiakae @cobwebmoth I am very prone to focus on outcomes. And once I finish a goal, immediately move on to the next one. This applies to reading challenges too. 😂 I have to work to remember to enjoy what I am doing in the present, but I am getting better at it. I‘ve noticed this shift in thinking really helps my mood, so I hope it eventually becomes a habit! 6y

A big cheer to everyone participating in #24in48. 👏👏👏

Our county is having its annual Connect with Culture day, and this year we visited The Raptor Center, a fantastic conservation center located in a nearby nature preserve. It‘s a bit of a retirement home for injured raptors.

Yesterday, the tagged book‘s daily reading reminded me to cherish and visit my favorite places, and that is just what I did! I 💚 the Latta Preserve. #LitsyWalkers ⬇️⬇️

alisiakae We also spent a lot of time exploring some of our favorite trails and sunny patches, and got my walking in sans #audiobook. 6y
Kaye Wow isn‘t that a pretty place ! Good for you getting to visit a nice place plus getting in your walk and done audio. 👍🏼 6y
Wife Love that warning ⚠️ sign! 🌹 6y

Winter is my least favorite season, but I‘ve been trying really hard to embrace it a bit more so I don‘t spend 3 months of the year moping and waiting for the next season to arrive.

I needed this message today!

BiblioLitten Me too! I‘m going to write it down so that I appreciate winter(my least favourite season too) a little more. Thanks💚 6y
alisiakae @BiblioLitten I‘m slowly learning to appreciate it, if only for the fact that it is usually the time of year that I read the most books because I semi-hibernate. 😂😂 6y

Does anyone else get monthly allergy shots? I‘m going on 4 years now, and I still have occasional months where my immune system goes crazy after a shot. That happened today, and after non-stop sneezing for an hour, my throat and nose are both raw, and one of the shot sites is massive and sore. I‘m definitely in for the night, curled up under a blanket reading!

The wine is hubby‘s, I‘m having Traditional Medicinals Throat Cure tea. And Benadryl.

BethM I just started at the weekly level. Feel better! That tea will help. 6y
Mimi28 Aaaawwww!!! I hope you feel better!! ❤️❤️❤️ I have allergies too I am on Montenuklast ( not sure if I spelled that right, lol) and I take Claritin daily. I‘m also on nasal spray and a saline lavage to clean out my nose. My doctor said - booger!! Lol I hope you feel better!! ❤️❤️❤️ 6y
alisiakae @BethM @Mimi28 Thanks! I‘ll be fine by tomorrow. It‘s just really annoying, and can cause extreme fatigue. I also take Montelukast (Singulair), but hardly ever need Claritin or nasal sprays anymore since I started the allergy shots. And allergy shots made a huge improvement in my asthma! 6y

julesG Feel better! Put your feet up and let hubby take care of you. I have allergies, too. Thanks to climate change I basically have hay-fever from January to October, then I have colds/sinusitis from October to January. 6y
alisiakae @Mimi28 although I am supposed to take Claritin an hour before my shots and I forgot today. So this is solely my own doing! 🤦🏻‍♀️😫 6y
alisiakae @julesG I‘m sorry! That‘s awful. I‘m sick much less since being on shots...well, except for recently. This year seems to be a doozy. 6y
Mimi28 Singulair, got it!! Lol I‘m on so many meds I don‘t know the correct spelling or pronunciation of half of them. I don‘t have asthma, that‘s probably why she hasn‘t put me on the shots. I hope you feel better soon!! ❤️❤️❤️ 6y
alisiakae @Mimi28 I‘m allergic to 35 things...including my cats! It‘s the only way I can live with my cute little fur babies. But if you think I‘m crazy for living with animals I‘m allergic too, our vet is also allergic to both cats and dogs! She gets shots too. 🤣 6y
Mimi28 Oh, sorry about the Claritin, it‘s ok, we all forget things sometimes. I hope you feel better!! ❤️❤️❤️ 6y
Mimi28 Lol, my doctor has been telling me to get rid of my cats for about 10 years. She should know better, lol. That‘s funny about your vet!! We can‘t live without our fur babies ❤️❤️ 6y
julesG I know a lot of people with cat and/or dog allergies who still have pets. You have an allergy, not the allergy has you! 😉 6y
julesG Can't get shots since I'm on immunosuppressive medication, which is also the reason for the endless sinusitis in the cold months. I manage, it's just a few tree pollen and grain pollen I'm allergic too. It's annoying, but there are worse things. 6y
DimeryRene My boyfriend gets weekly shots! Sometimes he has reactions too. Depends on how new the formula is. 6y
Mimi28 Wow that‘s a lot of allergies!! 6y
BeansPage Awe that sucks honey I'm sorry. Just try to take it easy and give your nose and throat a rest. I love that candle by the way! 😍 Hope you feel better soon 🤗 6y
CouronneDhiver I‘m sorry - that‘s crumby. What kind of stuff are you allergic to? 6y
alisiakae @CouronneDhiver Dust mites, a bunch of molds, almost all trees and things that produce pollen, most grasses, dogs, cats, cockroaches, coconut, and latex. 6y
Crazeedi So sorry to hear you don't feel well, snuggle up, drink lots of fluids and heal! 6y
alisiakae @Crazeedi Thanks! 💙 I‘m not sick, it‘s just a reaction I sometimes have to the shots. Benadryl and 10 hours of sleep later, and I‘m fine again! 6y

Today‘s passage really resonated with me this morning.

I was being quite hard on myself for missing an ACLU meeting last night. This serves as a gentle reminder to be kind and attentive to myself. Such as acknowledging the reason I missed the meeting as a worthy excuse: an afternoon of mother/daughter time (that ran longer than planned) that was needed for both of us.

TrishB Life‘s so busy, sometimes you have to remind yourself to be kind to yourself too. 7y

I have been reading the daily affirmations from Journey to the Heart in the morning on the days I go to yoga! I have never been one to like daily reading style books (secular ones are few and far between), but this one soothes my soul. 😊

Thanks for including it in my #NFBE box @ElishaLovesBooks ! 🧘‍♀️ ❣️

AlaMich This is interesting to me, because I‘ve always been intrigued by those books but, as you say, all the ones I have seen have a religious focus. I will have to check this out. 7y
alisiakae @AlaMich While God is mentioned occasionally, it is not tied to one specific spiritual tradition. It‘s not preachy at all, and does not contain any quotes from religious texts, at least not what I have read so far. The teachers at my yoga studio read from it often. (edited) 7y

Wow!!! ❣️🌟 📚💙 What an amazing box of bookish fun and goodies!! @ElishaLovesBooks I don‘t know how you managed to pick the nonfiction books I wished for the most! 😍 I almost bought Journey of the Heart a few weeks ago (but didn‘t!). It‘s used often in classes at the yoga studio I go to.

And the tea, bookmarks, face masks, bath salts & more...exactly what I need after my long drive home yesterday! Thank you so much!!

alisiakae @cathysaid Yes, it was waiting for me when I got home from FL last night. I just haven‘t had a chance to post it yet. 😃 (edited) 7y
cathysaid @4thhouseontheleft No problem! I haven't been able to access Litsy for several days so just wanted to check. It looks like you've been busy, too! 7y
