It Has Begun

 I am so excited for the the Summer Solstice..I am not really a fan of the Hot and Humid days we have here in Pennsylvania but I do love the Summer because it brings back memories to me. These memories are of the Beach with my Family and have been deeply rooted in my Spirit from the time I was a little girl. I can still remember family vacations with my Grand-Parents, Aunts, Uncles and Cousins along the Atlantic City Shore.

 Pictured above,  is an old Photograph of my Grand-Mother and one of my Cousins from the late 60's or early 70's.
 Later, the vacations were taken in South Carolina, and always on the Beach. There is something about the Ocean that speaks to me and you already know that if you have been with me here for a while. In fact,   I do have a thing for Mermaids and you already know that too♥

I love setting up Sacred Spaces throughout my home to remind me of the things that are important to me. You may have read about my Altar that I set up on my Mantle in our Living Room, for this Solstice in a recent post.  I will link it here in case you have missed it.

The above Photograph is a space I have also chosen to keep the Ocean/Summer theme.  This space is in my up stairs Bath Room and although I plan to paint the walls, this Altar/Shrine will remain. I look forward to taking long Hot Baths for cleansing and meditative healing while being surrounded by the beauty that symbolizes so much to me.

Have a Blessed Summer Solstice as it has begun♥

Much Love,

Symbolism

I recently posted this Photograph on my Instagram Page.

 

To the left sits a Blessings Candle of Quan Yin that I created, she is the  ~Buddhist Goddess of Compassion, Peace and Love.  To the right, sits a Beautiful Glass Jar of which I just found during a recent Thrift Shopping Adventure.

I filled the Jar with Crystal Balls and many Pearls after I returned home.

Both of these Lovelies sit upon my Sacred Space.  Quan Yin symbolizes how I live my Life and how I always want to treat others.  I light this candle as a constant reminder of  what Living Life means to me.  The Crystal Ball and Pearls Jar symbolizes the Beauty of what lies ahead in  the Future.

In other words, when you look into the future, there are many Pearls along the way....you just need to first Believe that they are there and then you will find them.

Much Love and Bright Blessings,
