Corinthian Bells 50-inch Windchime<\/strong><\/a>
Ocean waves make my favorite sound in the world but these beautiful wind chimes are a close second. We have the 50″ ones (hand tuned to scale A) but you can listen to the different varieties on the website to find the perfect set for you!<\/td><\/tr>
Surf Brush<\/strong><\/a>
During the summer we live in a beach community which means daily walks at the shore. This brush does an amazing job of getting the sand off and does double duty as a soothing brush for our three cats.<\/td><\/tr>
Unisex Crocs<\/strong><\/a>
I\u2019m sure I had a pair of Crocs during their \u201cfad phase\u201d but that pair is long gone. I just purchased another pair in bright pink when I re-remembered that they are the perfect garden and beach shoe \u2013 durable, comfortable, and easy to clean!<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Digital<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
InsightTimer<\/strong><\/a>
My job can be stressful and like many, I have a lot of things on my plate between work and home. I have a tendency to get overwhelmed when I start ruminating on all that remains undone. Meditating daily using the Insight Timer app hasn\u2019t helped me to shed tasks but definitely helps me to calm and quiet my mind. There are so many wonderful teachers who contribute to the content and seemingly endless guided meditations, music tracks, talks, etc!<\/td><\/tr>
Merlin Bird ID<\/strong><\/a>
I love to be outside and as soon as the weather is even remotely tolerable, I move my \u201coffice\u201d outdoors. Our yard is full of feathered friends and while I\u2019d love to be a birder I have a) a terrible memory for details and b) woefully bad eyesight. That doesn\u2019t stop me from sitting in my \u201coutside office\u201d in my lawn chair and firing up the Merlin app whenever I see or hear a new (or old) friend.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Invisible<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
When our daughter was born we adopted the phrase \u201cJust right for you\u201d<\/strong> (or \u201cJust right for her\u201d) in response to any comments she or others would make in regards to her attributes (physical, personality, demeanor, etc.). A comment like \u201cShe\u2019s so thin\/strong\/shy\/quiet\u201d was greeted with \u201cYes, just right for her.\u201d<\/em> The idea was to level out the highs and lows of compliments and criticisms and to reinforce that who and how she is, right now, is \u201cjust right.\u201d I feel a near constant urge to do, learn, and be more. I realized the other day that applying the \u201cJust right for me\u201d mantra would be offering myself a grace I have only thus far offered to others. Working on it!<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
