Painting “My Prayer” by Niki Flow. Shantideva was an Indian Buddhist monk who lived in the 8th Century. This prayer spoke to my heart. I’m not a holy Buddhist monk, but I can do small acts where I am with great love, too, one beautiful day at a time. ♥.
This will be made into note cards for our stationary store, under1000skies.com and will be included in Rx-for-Healing – the Power of Color and Opposites. For me, this quote would go under the tab, “Awakened” to be read whenever I feel the opposite: asleep, numb, addicted, closed-minded, judgemental (etc.).

This month, we’ve been celebrating joy. Our photos have featured quotes about finding joy, bliss and happiness. Special thanks again to everyone who contributed quotes and photos! We’re so grateful for our connection to each of you.
This great list below “12 Secrets to Joy” about how to add more joy in our lives is from Amanda Gore, “The Joy Project.” Check out her website for laughter, joy and inspiration.


Last year we shared a story from Niki Flow about Christmas Eve which we’ll share again for our new followers. This is a true story about a new lifelong friend and a Christmas Eve when a family received one of the most touching gifts of their lives.
⭐ Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Holidays and a very Happy New Year from @under1000skies!

We’ll see you again on Monday, January 2nd.
💕
