Creation, Soul, and Self-Care Resources

Nature has a wonderful way of calming us with its beauty. Stopping and listening to the waves of the sea or wind through the trees can carry us away to rest. There is something about the extra air in the forest or the feel of water on our feet that can make us feel more alive. It's a great place to care for, to nurture, our souls.

Below are some places that help to take care of those places that take care of us. Many of them have very practical ways to care for your little patch of earth while others give you a way to help in more global settings. And then there are resources to take the care of your own soul to another level.

Please check them out and find a way to bring some peace and new life to the earth and to your own soul. Why? Because you are deeply loved and important, you deserve a home that is beautiful.
