The
Days of Awe are drawing near, L’shanah Tova
to all of my Jewish friends and family. May the whole world know peaceful
moments, sweetness and joy as the world is born anew, this Rosh Hashanah.
Welcome to our Sixteenth Week of I Heart
Macro
"Pure
awareness transcends thinking... It allows you to look at the world once again
with open eyes. And when you do so, a sense of wonder and quiet contentment
begins to reappear in your life."~Mark Williams and Danny Pennman, from Mindfulness An Eight-Week Plan For Finding Peace In A Frantic World
It is time for YOU to share the love up-close with YOUR
I Heart Macro offerings!
