I really enjoyed this Ann, particularly how you described the em-bodiedment and prayer. I have hated going to the dentist due to gum troubles and things changed a lot when I thought about caregivers 'loving me' when they gave treatment. I suppose I see it as Love but Prayer is interchangeable there as a concept or description. Mine is taking care of children, the garden, writing, so many things. You have left me with some new ideas and thoughts today, thank you!

Anna, what a healthy point-of-view you've adopted. I always love taking care of people like you who give so much to others. It warms my heart to see mothers take some time for their own self-care. And yes! You're so right. Love and prayer are strands of the same cord. I can picture you nurturing all the growing things you love-- such a beautiful life you're making.🌿

This is a beautiful reflection Ann. I loved so much of what you’ve shared but I really resonated with the longing to weave together a one piece life of creativity, such a wonderful way to word it! ✨
