Re: The Campfire
This is so perfect. We are having our first "cold spell" as we call it here in TN and nothing comforts like the warmth of a fire. I'll be keeping the logs handy. I'll bring my vision board my daughter made for me-we can surely read it by the light of the fire with all the positive messages and images to remind us not to be afraid.
I love the idea of writing our fears down and throwing them in the fire--I have several I would like burn.
