Anne’s Favorites!
“These are a few of my favorite things” Rogers and Hammerstein
Well of course The Sound of Music is one of my favorite things, but aside from ALL the movies I love, I thought I would share here things that some of you have asked about. I will update this list as new favs arrive!
I am inspired by art, artists, and words... I share quotes I love every day on Instagram @MindfulnessMeetingPlace so hop on over there to follow me.
Jewelry…
I love adornment! You may have noticed my obsession with jewelry. I wear lots of rings, bracelets, necklaces, Mayas, and earrings daily. I change my jewelry to suit my moods, and I have fun with new combinations. “Less is more” was never my style.
LASIRENE DESIGNS
This is my friend Ondine Landa. She is a fabulously talented marketing genius who helped me to create “Sit in Place” and redesign my website. For this, I am eternally grateful. But like many artists, she has talent in multiple areas. She is also a gifted jewelry designer; an artist who puts love into everything she creates. I am always wearing one or more necklaces and definitely multiple bracelets daily. I love the energy I feel from the stones she chooses.
RED OAK BEADS
If you are wondering about my amazing beaded earrings, they are created by Bri Alexander, my friend Brittney. She is a Shawnee/Cherokee woman who weaves medicine into every pair of original design earrings she makes. I own many pairs and I love wearing her art. She does custom pieces as well.
The Hanky Shop
My gorgeous embroidered jackets and shirts are created by my friend Leesi Goad. They are pictured in many of my photos. I love the unique and colorful designs. Choose something that you see in her vast catalog or send her an idea and she will work with you.
Books I love to share my closing readings from…
Miraculous Silence-A Journey to Illumination and Healing Through Prayer
Mitra Rahbar
Please don’t get hung up on the word God. Ms. Rahbar uses many words for the Divine Mystery. Feel free to insert your own, or let hers just resonate and see what happens.
Journey to the Heart-Daily Meditations on the Path to Freeing Your Soul
Melody Beattie.
This book was my first daily devotional. I never get tired of it and I find new inspiration every time I pick it up. You can read the entry for the calendar day, or open it and where ever it falls the wisdom will be just what you need.
Bless The Space Between Us - A Book of Blessings
John O’Donohue
Sadly this amazing human left the planet at only 52. He was an Irish priest, poet, author, and inspiration to me and so many who read his gifted writings. I also love “Anam Cara- A Book of Celtic Wisdom” titled for the Celtic concept of “Soul Friend”
Prayers to Sophia
Joyce Rupp
This is a beautiful book of prayers written to “Sophia” the feminine essence of the Wisdom aspect of God. Thank you to my friend Pam Rotelle Robertson for sharing this beautiful book with me. Pam is an amazing intuitive Spiritual Director, and the host of Talking Joy podcast. Worth a listen.
