Deeply immersed let your spirit soar

Hello Friends, I decided to share with you some relaxing, meditative worship by Kimberly & Alberto Rivera with Ruth Fazal on violin for today's Meme "Then Sings My Soul Saturday", hosted by Amy at "Signs, Miracles & Wonders"



I am adding three YouTube videos simply because they belong together.

Wishing you all a deeply joyous, blessed and peaceful Saturday in His presence!

Picnic at Kew Gardens

It's all thing pink and beautiful Saturday ... with a few glimpses from The Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, London UK.



I am joining Beverly’s Pink Saturday which she hosts at "How Sweet The Sound"


My daughter and friends went for a picnic at Kew Gardens and I thought I would add some pinky pink highlights, not just from the picnic but also from a very interesting exhibition of glass art within the horticultural delights. After you enjoyed the fun photos below, I would encourage you to click on the Kew Gardens link, as it's a really fascinating place, not only in its stunning beauty but also from a scientific and historical viewpoint.

Because it was a picnic, I just had to also add my daughters funky pink socks, ah oh well, apologies to the young lady in advance, this is just what mums do ..... (smile) .... and of course there are always some birds looking for food crumbs ....

The glass sculptures were only a temporary art exhibition feature. Click on the pictures to see them full size.

Always on His mind

Hello Friends, just thought to remind us all that we are always on His mind through this beautiful Meme "Then Sings My Soul Saturday", hosted by Amy at "Signs, Miracles & Wonders"



I am adding here "Always on His Mind" with Misty Edwards.

Wishing you all a very joyous, blessed and loved-up Saturday!







Here are the Lyrics:

Lord, I will seek You
On my bed, think upon You
In the day, I'll dream of You
You're always on my mind
With my whole heart I'll love You
With my mind and my strength too
Waste my life searching for You
You're always on my mind
Though I'm poor and needy, the Lord thinks upon me
Though His name is Holy, I'm always on His mind - I'm always on His mind
Though I'm weak and lowly, the Lord thinks about me
Though He's high and lofty, I'm always on His mind - I'm always on His mind
I'm in love with god
God's in love with me
Hey - Yeah (repeat)
How far will You let me go? How abandoned will You let me be? (repeat)

Hey-yeah, hey-yeah - hey-yeah, hey-yeah, hey-yeah, hey-yeah, hey-yeah, hey-yeah

Evening Sky

Pink Feel-Good Saturday!

I am joining Beverly’s Pink Saturday which she hosts at "How Sweet The Sound"


The other day I was sat on my tiny little balcony enjoying the mellow warm evening. Then I noticed those spectacular evening clouds, so I quickly grabbed my camera from where I was sat ... and my fading pink rose got into it.

So, I then stood up to take the other ones. There is something about summery sunset evening skies, quite charming. (Click on the pics to enlarge them).

Feathers for Pleasures - "Ruby Tuesday"

It is time to post a Ruby Tuesday contribution again, and I am linking with Mary over at “Work Of The Poet” and her “Ruby Tuesday” Meme.

I'm going to feature a bright red feather fan:

(Click on it to see it full size)

... and No! this is not for a fancy dress party or doing a ‘Can-Can’ dance, even though you could use one like that for those purposes.

No, this particular feather fan I use as a teaching tool in my workshops and private consultancy work and ministry with couples.


I have posted a little article for some food for thought. If you like, check it out here

.... and No! it will not tickle, if done properly (you'll just have to pop over to that article to find out ....)

Have fun,

How He loves us - Woah, how He loves us

Hello Friends, it's time to declare how much He loves us through this beautiful Meme "Then Sings My Soul Saturday", hosted by Amy at "Signs, Miracles & Wonders"



I am adding here "How He Loves Us" with Kim Walker recorded live at a Jesus Culture Conference in Redding, CA.

Wishing you all a very joyous, blessed and loved-up Saturday!







Here are the Lyrics:

He is jealous for me
Love's like a hurricane, I am a tree
Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy
When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory
and I realize just how beautiful You are and how great your affections are for me.
Oh, how He loves us so
Oh, how He loves us
How He loves us so.

Yeah, He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves.

So we are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes
If grace is an ocean we're all sinking
So heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss and my heart turns violently inside of my chest
I don't have time to maintain these regrets when I think about the way

That he loves us,
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves

He loves us,
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves

My Girly-Feminine Side for a "Pink Saturday"

It's Saturday, and we're in the pink :-)

I am joining Beverly’s Pink Saturday which she hosts at "How Sweet The Sound"

My contribution today is part of my little vanity or dressing table. Such a girly thing to have. One thing I do not like is having all the lotions and potions in the usual plasic containers they come in, if I can at all avoid it.

Throughout my home wherever a cream or other liquid are needed, even the washing up liquids in the kitchen I tend to refill them into more attractive containers.

Here in this picture of part of my dressing table you can see some of the glass bottles I collected for eye make up remover, toner, etc. I found the pretty larger bottles at a flea market in Athens, Greece. (click on pic if you want to see it enlarged).

The pink on the table is a large rose scented potpourri dish. I took this pic a little while ago and added recently a display of large pink feathers and draped some more beads on the mirror ... all deliciously decadent and feminine.

Wishing you a rosy pink Saturday with an opportunity to look for smiles in any situation,

The Blond Year

This is my last post re Friday Memes!! I am linking with Alicia at More Than Words for her Friday Photo Flashback

Well, this is my contribution: A photo of me at my previous house in 1995 ... yes I was blond again! (Click on the pic to enlarge to its original size)

Oh dear Lord ... have I changed THAT much????? .... sigh!

Temple Dance

Earlier on, I was reading a great post by Sandy at God Speaks Today who hosts “Fitness Friday”.

OK, I have to admit that I was challenged, and decided to pick up the challenge.

I have been stuck behind the computer all day long way too long, and working on a book does not help. After reading Sandy's post, I am inspired to rekindle an old passion of mine: dance.

I have not danced for longer than I wish it was true. I love partner dance such as ballroom, and seeing that I do not have a dance partner, I have shelved that passion.

With Sandy’s challenge I decided to think differently and embark on happy solo dance movements around the home, stretching, and actually learn belly dancing. Yes, you read correctly!Apparently it is great for better blood circulation and better flexibility especially in the belly and hip region. Being in my 50’s, I think my belly could do with some exercises.

So, I have answered the challenge and have already ordered my belly dancing DVD from Amazon. Meanwhile I shall do some stretching and just general dance moves to music.
As our bodies are a temple of God ... I shall do some temple dances!

Big smiles,
