I read similar article also named dinary » The Passing of a Moment, and it was completely different. Personally, I agree with you more, because this article makes a little bit more sense for me

Sounds great, Daz. I hope you enjoy

Oh, I love lavender too, Kacey. I have quite a lot of it in my garden, but it’s not quite flowering yet. Maybe next month…

I’m so glad you gave it a go, Lenora, and that you chose to come back here and share your experience. It really is very much appreciated

You are most welcome, Ann. I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Those three smells that you mention are all extremely evocative for me too, Karen. Thank you so much for sharing them

That sounds just lovely, Wendikelly. Thank you so much for sharing the suggestion. I may bery well take it up!

Kēia Manawa, Ishly and the Hibiscus Cocktail…

Just talking story… about the practice of being fully present. We hear most coaching about being “fully present” in regard to giving our full attention to other people. In conversation, with Kuleana (our responsibilities), as focus and intention …

Lavender and roses for me too.

I have lavender, rosemary, and roses and basel growing outside my front dores and my back door. When I walk past my sidewalk it is an unconcious habit to brush my fingers against the lavender or the petals of the roses in the spring and summer.
In the fall, I pot op the lavender, basel and rosemary and bring them in for the winter and they live in the kitchen in the large kitchen window.
If I am enjoying a good book, I love to take a spring of lavender and plce it on the inside cover, so that when I open the book, the scent greets me.

Amy, I have typed and retyped a sentence 3 times already, lol so clearly my senses are not quite awake yet! Smell is a powerful sense and has the ability to evoke memories. Cinnamon is comforting and reminds me of my mom baking and coooking, lavender always soothes me and the smell of the ocean brings back fond memories of home. Yet, I am not always fully attuned to smell as I am to sight or hearing. Now I am going to grab caffeine to awaken all of my senses!

I did your exercise yesterday in my garden and found my favorite smells included the honeysuckle that fills the air so sweetly. I remembered childhood moments eating and smelling grape popsicles when purple petunia fragrance rose up to greet me yesterday. I felt as free as a kid on summer vacation. My favorite smell of all was the asiatic lilly that transported me to tropical days in Tahiti. This aroma therapy exercise quieted my mind and body, preparing me for an extremely busy weekend when I host a graduation party of 150 people. Thank you, and I’m glad I found your beautiful blog. http://thehappinesszone.blogspot.com/

I am tuned into smells. Sometimes too much so… I planted lavender right out my front door so I can get a “hit” of it when I’m coming and going. Lavender has to be my favorite smell.

I will be thinking of this as I walk on the beach in a few minutes, it’s a little gloomy from the recent storms and things are wet but warm….
