Promise me this….Guest writer Heather from Beauty that Moves

In the wake of Mother’s Day, I found this poignant post over at one of my favorite stops here in BlogLand.  It’s timing was perfection as the weather warms and the outdoors calls the name of so many of us.

Heather prompts us to make a promise to ourselves.

A bit about Heather…

Heather Bruggeman follows the mantra “a life that is led simply and deliberately is a life fulfilled.” To that end, she is a dedicated yogi and yoga instructor, teacher, artist, cook, entrepreneur, mother and wife. She balances the necessities of life with a touch of humorous grace. Her blog Beauty That Moves is enjoyed by readers for its kind honesty, shared beauty, and simple guidance through a hectic world. Heather resides in a small New England city with her husband and daughter in a quaint bungalow where she grows raspberries and peppermint.

promise me this

Three times a week minimum. Find a trail and get on it. It is who you are, Heather. Get lost in the woods. This is vital. No excuses. Do it for you. Do it for everyone around you. The dishes and laundry can wait. Your soul cannot. Be good to yourself and don’t feel guilty about it. Don’t you dare feel guilty about it. Your God shines brightly among the trees. Come to think of it, so do you. Tell me, are you one in the same? Is the divine within? That’s what they say. Who are they? No matter. Just keep getting out there. It works.

Promise me this.
