Creating a Blessing Bowl

I recently watched a video

from the amazing and inspiring

Jamie Ridler

on "Creating a Blessing Bowl."

I loved everything she spoke about!
She demonstrated how to create a small bowl 
filled with offerings, little prayers
and requests for blessings.

I decided to create my own 

and wanted to share her

wonderful idea with YOU!

I first was on the hunt for a bowl,

not just any bowl,

but one that truly spoke to me.

Here is mine:

Is this not beautiful???
The bowl is as important
as the ingredients inside.

I began to fill my bowl with

 precious things of meaning to me

white sage, beads, charms, 
small cut out words and significant things
that mattered to me.

In Jamie's video she demonstrates

how to create blessing cards

I cut my cards 2 x 4

then found images that I loved for the

front of the card

from different magazines.
All I needed was a glue stick!

On the back I took the time to contemplate

on the blessings I wanted to list.

Several came up for me

family, my unborn granddaughter, my art, 
health, writing, thoughts, faith and so much more.

I mindfully chose all the items I wanted

to place in my blessing bowl.
These would become my
personal requests for blessings.

I slowly began to fill my bowl with

my treasures first.

I could feel it was becoming something

special already!

As the bowl filled,

I placed my blessing cards into the bowl.

What a treasure it quickly became.

Now I take the time to choose 

a blessing

and practice gratefulness.

I keep my blessing bowl in my studio,

where all my other treasures are

and I look at it at all times.

This was an awesome project

and I am grateful to Jamie

for sharing such a wonderful idea.

I am encouraging you to create one as well!
