    Morning sunshine on Shasta daisies brought in from Morning sunshine on Shasta daisies brought in from the garden brings the start to a beautiful July weekend and on the blog a new Ponderings post ... for TOP Tier members! 

This month, detailed content sharing how to overcome something many of us battle with and may feel we are the only one, but no! (such good news!🎉) and how to remedy it, skincare finds, inspiration for combatting moments of frustration for a variety of reasons, details about how and when we reach automaticity when it comes to habit formation and more!

    Sometimes our wiser self, a self we haven't learne Sometimes our wiser self, a self we haven't learned the language of just yet, knows what we need underneath our wants, as is quoted in July 12th entry, "what we cannot breathe without", something that until we lose it, we may not appreciate or realize how much life it gives us, or as is the case in this chapter of the book, something we need that we haven't even experienced yet for the first time, but when we do, oh, we have unearthed the need our curious heart was leading us to discover. 

An excerpt from the July 12th entry, titled "Trust the Timing of Your Journey" found in the July chapter, "The Gifts of France: Awakening, Savoring, and Being True to Oneself" in #tsll3rdbook The Road to Le Papillon: Daily Meditations on True Contentment

    Two celebratory stories to share from @lepapillong Two celebratory stories to share from @lepapillongarden in this photo as the Boscabel shrub rose (from @david_austin_roses ), now in its new home (was in the east cottage garden and now is in the south side of the house, Norman's rose garden) is blooming for the very first time after no blooms last year in its previous location - wahoo! 

And, those nasturtiums in the background, self-seeded themselves. A complete and delightful surprise. I give Norman credit, as this is his garden border and named in his honor. Miss you terribly sweet gentleman. 😌❤️🐾 Nelle now tends to the garden and loves to potter about alongside me, for which I am forever grateful. #tsllmynelle
