Day 11 My Candle Order Arrived this Afternoon! (My Sacred Life)

The front doorbell seldom works (living so near the ocean has it's price) ... but Molly announced the arrival of this UPS delivery a few minutes ago, and I retrieved the cube-shaped brown box from its resting place near the front door with anticipation ... smiling as I brought it indoors. I've only just opened it and the room is filled with wonderful scents, though I've not yet unpacked the items. An enclosed card from zena moon bears the word "restoration" and the following message:

"Today, make getting in touch with the Silence within yourself your first priority. As you do, you will be amazed at how everything else seems to find it's own order." Sarah Ban Breathnach

I think I'll leave it by the computer for a while
and use it for a bookmark later. :)

In addition to the 8 candles I ordered last Saturday, the lavender colored invoice contains a round sticker announcing a "free gift" is enclosed and thanks me for my order. A pleasant surprise! Each of the hand-made candles is individually wrapped in paper ... and nestled in "popcorn packing" for protection. The one I opened first is scented with "lavender and sweet pea" & contains an amethyst gemstone (my birthstone) and bears the message ...

"namaste
I honor the place in you
in which the entire Universe dwells.
I honor the place in you which is love, light, truth and peace.
When you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me,
we are One."

It is the perfect candle for this moment as I near the end of my second week online typing this Sacred Life post, and I light it now as I offer this greeting to each of you this afternoon. I shall leave the remaining candles and the "surprise" for other days ... as serendipty chooses for me which to light next when the time is right. When the "free gift" surfaces ... I'll let you know what it is.

Blessings Be.
