What Matters Most
I think we all got a sense of what matters most to Laura Elliot when she graced us with her beautiful presence last Sunday and shared some of her life’s journey. We decided to expand on this theme and also give you a chance to share your stories of participating in November’s month long “YOU MATTER” marathon. After all, one thing that matters most is YOU!
Quotes to ponder
“There comes a moment when you realize what matters the most in your life. Let that moment be now and that matter be your love and kindness.” ~ Debasish Mridha
“I live to enjoy life by the littlest things, feeling the grass between my toes, breathing fresh air, watching the wind sway the trees, enjoying the company of loved ones, a deep conversation, getting lost in a good book, going for a walk in nature, watching my kids grow up. Just the feeling itself of being alive, the absolute amazing fact that we are here right now, breathing, thinking, doing.” ~ Marigold Wellington
“Perspective is as simple as answering this question: If I had 5 months to live would I experience this problem differently?” ~ Shannon Adler

Tuesday, December 10th ~ “Colorado Gives Day”. Colorado Gives Day is an annual statewide movement to celebrate and increase philanthropy in Colorado through online giving. Though we cannot accept donations through the official website because our organization is not of sufficient size, many of our supporters have chosen to donate on this day “in the spirit” of the movement by going to the Paths of Heart website to donate. https://www.pathsofheart.org/donate/ We so appreciate your support, especially as this year draws to a close, in keeping Paths of Heart on the path of love, kindness, joy, gratitude, and service in our community and beyond!

Gratitudes
What an absolute joy to have Laura Elliot with us last Sunday! The positive and heartfelt comments on her talk and radiant presence keep coming, and we hope to have a recording of the morning available for you soon!
“You simply will not be the same person two months from now after consciously giving thanks each day for the abundance that exists in your life. And you will have set in motion an ancient spiritual law: the more you have and are grateful for, the more will be given you.” ~ Sarah Ban Breathnach

You
may park in the driveway, as well as diagonally along the north side of
our property. Should those areas become full, please park out on Hwy

passing cars as you are exiting and entering your vehicle, though! The
carport area is reserved for folks with special parking needs. Out of
respect for our neighbors, we ask that you kindly refrain from parking
on Evans Drive beyond our property line. Car pooling is encouraged. We
also have a bike rack for cyclists!
