To Reconnect With Your Loving Center

Take a moment
to follow your breath.

Breathe in Peace,
Breathe out Love.

Breathe in Peace,
Breathe out Love.

Breathe in Love,
Breathe out Peace.

Breathe in Love,
Breathe out Peace.

Allow yourself to be nourished
and awakened by this simple
practice often.

I Symphony You… YouTube Valentine

YouTube Preview Image

I thought I’d post this love song here.   When I first wrote “I Symphony You”, one woman brought her husband to my little shop so I would sing it to him.  Another sent it to her estranged boy-friend, and they became engaged.  After that they asked me to come sing it at their wedding.  I’m happy about that.  This is one of the songs on my album, Savor The Days.

Light Verse for my Valentine

istock_000005250527xsmall

You, Love, are my earthly joy,

My village and my song,

My reason, my belonging,

And the good that makes me strong.

With your arms around me

My heart knows blessings, blessed.

With you here beside me

Is how I love life best.

~Ingrid

I love you like a fiddle tune.

I love you like a jig.

I love you like the month of June.

I love you like a fig.

I love you like a hoppy brew.

And a warm down feather bed.

I love you like a dream come true

And berries and butter and bread….

 

( Ingrid’s note: I don’t actually love figs…but it went so well with jig.  Now my secret is out, I promise I am still sincere.  … These wonderful candleholders are made by The Mad Potter on Martha’s Vineyard.  The video below was sent to me by my friend Heather.  It’s so joyful and free and, well, it made me cry happy tears.)

The Circle of Love

 

  Come out of the circle of time,
and into the circle of love.

The Valentine Phantom

I had a wholesale request which prompted me to realize I needed to recreate the Valentine Phantom book, a heart warming story which takes place, Once Upon a Time, in a small fishing village by the edge of the sea…It is a romantic tale about a boat builder, his dog and the one he sets his heart on…
  I’m still trying to get a photo that does this new one justice.  It’s really sweet!  CLick here  if you’d like to read the story.
