“Praise the bridge that carried you over.”
-By George Colman-
My husband created this beautiful video showing how the trees on our street are now turning very quickly. Soon all the leaves will be gone, and…. then the snow will start. Our one year anniversary of moving to France will be November 15th… It’s a lovely place to live. 🙂
“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.” ~Albert Camus
Enjoy the video…

Now is the time to make sure you are giving yourself the time that is necessary for YOU. As this new month begins, it’s the start of a very active two months, and it is really easy to get so busy, that taking the time to meditate can become challenging.
You are important, and it’s essential that you allow time for yourself everyday to stay focused and centered from within. I would like to encourage you to start each day with your meditation time, which is beneficial to listening to your soul, staying connected to your source, and plugging into the beauty of everything around you. It’s your time to honor who you are.
With much love,
Alice
Happy Wednesday to you….
Last week I shared that I am moving forward on my journey, and in doing so, I have definitely stepped out of my comfort zone. I also realize that in order for me to grow, this is a necessary step in the direction I am progressing towards. With that said, today I am sharing my 2nd video with you… This is a topic we all can relate to. Thank you for taking a few minutes out of your day to watch it. 🙂
With much love,
Alice
When you live from your heart space, your spiritual realm, you view life from a different perspective than the realm of intellect. Which place you live from is always your choice.
What I believe is that the eyes and ears, in fact all of your senses, limit your beliefs. If you live from what you see, hear, smell, touch, and taste, you are living in the space of intellect. This is the area from which I lived from for a very long time, and I was not filled with the inner peace that I longed for. I believe it’s because I allowed outside forces to determine how I felt, and those feelings constantly changed.
By living your life from the spiritual space, outside circumstances don’t influence you because this is not where you reside. You live in the spirit of faith. This quote by Philip Yancey describes it well; “I have learned that faith means trusting in advance what will only make sense in reverse.” It’s living your life with the belief that your desires have already come to fruition. You are connected to your child-like faith, you just believe, and therefore it is. I know it sounds too simple, but it is the truth.
Relying on all things from an intellectual viewpoint is not living from your highest self, it’s ego based. This simply means you want to retain control. That’s where faith comes in. As you evolve into living from your highest self, you will move away from thinking intellectually and you will find yourself shifting into thinking spiritually.
Sometimes I find it is difficult to put into words exactly how I feel and how to share this union with my source that I have. I think you just have to experience it to really perceive it, and that’s my heartfelt desire for you. May you live your life from the spiritual realm because this the space where genuine inner peace is found, and extraordinary living begins.
With much love,
Alice
Happy Sunday to you! I wanted to share a few pictures that Gary and I took when we went on a day trip last weekend to the Suisse Normandy Mountains. It was a beautiful sight to behold. The mountain goats were a pleasant surprise. 🙂 Enjoy your day… Love, Alice
We were at the crest of the mountain, or as the French would say, the crete. It was really beautiful.
I was so excited to see the goats, I had to take one more picture, zooming in a little more…
Nature is truly amazing…
“I was always looking outside myself for strength and confidence, but it comes from within. It is there all the time.” By Anna Freud
I am living proof that this quote is an absolute truth. I spent the first half of my life searching outside of myself for strength, confidence, peace, and happiness, to find that it does come from within. I had it all the time. Now I am connected to it, and live from this place.
This is an excerpt from my newest book, For the Love of Quotes, Day 139.
With much love,
