This is my second post today to see my City crafters post just scroll down.
Living Simply here in the Moment.
I have been busy taking all kinds of classes.
One of them being Kim Klassens Beyond Layers.
This class is right up my ally.. I am loving it and we are
only on week two.
Texture by KK - Trust
Last weeks she wanted us to
tell our story.. And yes we all have one.
I did write my story out in my journal.
I will share share it some day.
So this week is about
YOU IN SIX WORDS!
(texture by KK - Simplicity)
Of course there were so many ways for me to go with this.
So I decided to go with something I (TRY) to practice.
Living in the moment..
So this is what I came up with, My six words:
Living simply here in the moment.

I have to say I am a bit of a dreamer. Which I don't think
that's bad. Just sometime I can let the now slip away without
even realizing what I have done!! The day has past and what joy
did I get from it.
did I get from it.
About 7 or 8 years ago my daughter bought me
this book from Eckhart Tolle. The power of now!
That title says it all.
And that is when this whole obsession began
with me.. So I have been practicing this for some time.
I don't think I will ever master it. But it has definitely change
some little ways that I live my life.
Kim got this Idea of "You in Six words" from an Oprah magazine.
Which Oprah got it from the SMITH MAGAZINE.
If you have time you should check it out.
It was quite fun to read..
So what six words describe you?
Thanks so much for stopping by!
I really do appreciate all your kind comments..
And I will leave you with a quote from Eckhart Tolle
"Pleasure is always derived from something outside you,
Whereas joy arises from within"
Hugs, Linda

Great photos, love the little sparrow. Great words to live by. :)
I don't read many self-help books but the power of now changed my life along with his other book A New Earth...my dad's passing just re-affirmed it all to me. We only have this moment and it is up to us to make it what we want it to be.
Lovely post. Lovely images. I should read that book, and post your six words for myself. Thanks for the thoughts. Making me wish I took this class. I wonder if it's too late to jump in.
Isn't this a fun, and thought-provoking, challenge? I am so enjoying Kim's class. And I have to say that first photo of the bird...I really like the way the light is on the bird's face. So pretty.

Love this idea...Love the photos ...Love your six words... Love the quote ...Love this post!!
I am a "Beyonder", too! I love the photos and the way you weave your words...I am seriously coveting a key that carries the word "dream" on it! And the little sparrow was my first draw in...
Blessings!
I wrote my story in a notebook last week, but I haven't shared it either. I don't know if I will. It's so long! Which I guess is why the six words are so great. But I haven't figured that one out yet! Great job on writing yours!
And now seriously, the photo of the bird is breathtaking! I love it. Hope you don't mind if I pin it!
Great idea and love that little bird
Linda, I do love visiting your blog because you have the most amazing photos!
I know you've got camera equipment that far exceeds mine (I have a point and shoot Nikon Coolpix S4000), but how do you do a picture like the "Dream" key, where only the key is clear, and the rest of the pic is softly focused? Please tell me your secrets!
i like that sign and quote. so true...
I didn't write my story...maybe I will one day, but I did come up with 6 words. Love yours, most of the time it is better to live in the moment than to make plans...plans change too quickly and unexpectedly. And that sweet bird is perfect. Love it!!
I like this post! Made me think. Love that quote and all the photos. Hope you have a lovely day!
Thank you for your lovely comment on my layout. blogger does not want to post it for some reason. :(
Lovely post, Linda! I will have to think of six words, think for quite awhile to figure out what they would be. Nice to have something deep to think about today. It has rained a little so my photo's would be of rain if I got out to take them. Have a wonderful afternoon.
Your image is perfect but hun what about your choice of papers? :) Woohoo; right up my alleye. Brilliant take on the sketch. Yes I will give it a try :)
Have a lovely day!
Hugs,
Stella

Love the bird pic. Wonderful sunshine on the leaves too.
Oh so lovely...the photo & the words:)

How right you are my friend...we can sure let yesterdays or this morning or an hour ago suck up the now. Wise words you chose :)
dear Linda,

I love you bird shot! The Power of Now sounds intereesting. I guess my blog subtitle sums up much of my attitude. In six words - "Finding Beauty, Joy and Contentment Everyday".

Lovely photos... and great quote to live by!... hugs...xoxo

Love your photos Linda ... my philosophical friend! Have a lovely day xxx
Wow, it seems like so many people are taking Kim's classes. It all seems so interesting. I'm kind of a dreamer too, so I love your thoughts about living in the moment :)
Look so fun, I took Kin's skinny mini class and I still can't keep up with the daily schedule, guess it is not a good time for me to take online classes now but I do enjoy yours!!! Have fun!
I am so glad you are enjoying the class Linda. Kim's classes are great. Love your six little words too. they are words we would all do well to remember.
I hope your day has been a beautiful one dear Friend.
xo.
I've run across several bloggers taking Kim's class. I need to check into that one. You work is beautiful. I think you've mastered it.
i don't think being a dreamer is bad at all!! your words are great...i rather like living in the moment as well.
Love the quote, especially the reminder that joy comes from within us. Thanks,
I love the whole idea of living in the Now and deriving enjoyment from each and every day. Hard to do sometimes, but definitely something worth striving for. Thanks for sharing, Linda!
great post and wonderful photos! I like your six words:)
Hi there Linda, Love the array of wonderful ideas and photos today, I'm happy that you're enjoying your classes:0) Smith Magazine could possibly be my next obsession Oh Nooo LOL Gay xxx
I love the little Sparrow!
I love your little bird picture. I will have to put her class on my list.
The quote is great. Thanks for sharing it!
Great texture work! I especially like the key as I am fond of old keys.
This is such an inspirational post, thank you for that...
And as always beautiful photography!
Have a lovely weekend!

Love the images you share! And the words of wisdom---LOVE!!I really like your 6 words. Mine would be"live well today and every day"! Simple :)
you are clever! looks like you are really enjoying the course and I love your shots here and of course your very inspiring words.
Hi Linda! I like your six words! I think mine would be Happily trying to remain thankful in life. I know that's 7, but two of them are little so I am combining them as one. : )
I am AMAZED at how many e-courses are out there, and challenges and swaps and doodle days. It's really overwhelming. So I do what I normally do when I feel overwhelmed and just don't do anything. Isn't that terrible?
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
I some of Eckhart Tolles books. They can be so inspiring.
So nice reading this post, Linda! Hugs Janna
