Finding Peace - Every Day

There are times in life when calming our spirit is crucial. The world is difficult, and when we experience a shakeup, we automatically seek out our favorite comfort zones. We want peace for our souls, and it's usually found in sensory experiences.

• A warm bath, cozy blanket, or favorite pajamas.
• Lighting vanilla candles, the smell of lilacs growing in a field, or freshly baked cookies.
• A piece of classical music, or the sound of children laughing.
• A photo of Waimanalo Beach or sitting with an espresso watching the sun go down.
• The texture and taste of warm apple pie and ice cream.
• Chocolate, especially when combined with milk cold enough to cause tongue-frostbite. Maybe this one is just me.

Music, art, and architecture also contribute to our inner peace. And let’s never dismiss a calm and peaceful walk through nature.

“Beauty will save the world.” (Dostoevsky.)
