Sea Glass: The Collection

I mistakenly believed that I was one of a few people that collected beach or sea glass.  Was I ever wrong.  Thanks to Google, I now know there are clubs, groups, and entire protected beaches dedicated to this activity. 

What it means to me?  I have a friend from home that collects beach glass, so I thought, what better way to feel close to home, but to have a friend on my morning walk with me, in spirit anyway.  The day we collected beach glass in Ontario, it was everywhere. 

I have been in Nicaragua for almost 7 months now, living on a huge expanse of Ocean beach, and I have less than 20 pieces.  It has become a meditation like activity, walking on the beach looking for sea glass.  Every piece is a beautiful, one of a kind, rare find.  Worn down by time and environment, every specimen has weathered much before coming to shore and into my hands.......I am grateful every time I find one.

My Cup O Tea

Over the years I have become a fan of tea.  My favourites are non-caffeine.  Green Teas, herbal teas and rooibus.  Almost any loose leaf tea will do.  I once got chamomile tea from a friends parents and it was really just a whole baggie of chamomile flowers.....it was from a place in Sarnia, Ontario but I am not sure exactly where.  It just seems so much fresher when you can recognize it by sight.... In June while on vacation I found a tea store selling hand tied leaves.  What a fantastic aroma of jasmine.  It is the Madame Butterfly tea by Capital Teas (www.capitalteas.com).  It was very expensive and I just couldn't afford it but they certainly had lots of great teas. My most recent vacation in Florida found me in the Spice and Tea Exchange (www.spiceandtea.com) where I purchased a small bag of loose leaf hazelnut cookie tea.  Ceylon black base so not my usual herbal but wonderful smell and tastes very rich.  An enjoyable tea....

August 2017: No More Practice Journal

Taking a break after setting up for August. Lovin' life at the beach. He knew just what I wanted. At the end of the rainbow! Where the butterflies fly and the habit trackers track... There's a bi-weekly vertical dutch door set up with lots of list space on the other side.  I have a number of items that happen every week and being a bullet journal, meant to be about productivity, I really don't want to write them every week. They fit great in the left margin. These are the beginning of some collections I am working on for the year.   The @ is for my websites page views and blog post dates.  The yoga man is for tracking my teacher hours, but I have not figured out how to create something to color here and incorporate the information I want to keep.  Like me on facebook:  onawhimnicaragua . Help color another lotus petal....
