Do You See the Sacred?

 Hi, I’m Judith Ashley, author of The Sacred Women’s Circle series, soul nourishing romantic women’s fiction with light paranormal elements. My stories show you what life could be like if you had a place like The Circle where you are unconditionally accepted, supported and loved. And where, with this support, you make choices to overcome the darkest nights and choose love and light.

Earth Day is April 22 which is why Nature and Natural are this month’s themes. I’m looking forward to seeing what our creative Genre-istas are doing with this topic.

As for me, I’m sharing some of my favorite photos. These are ones I’ve taken along the road of my life. They bring a smile to my face, a vacant focus to my eyes as I look back and relive the precious sacred moments these pictures captured.



 

 

 One of my favorite places along The Oregon Coast. And The Oregon Coast is one of my Most Favorite Places in the Entire World.

 

 

 

 My favorite Clematis. Love the Dark Purple. I also love geraniums, columbine, dark purple salvia and ferns.



I took my granddaughters on a trip to England and Scotland. We stopped at Stonehenge and I'd love to go back and spend even more time there so I could visit Wales. The other fantastic place we visited that day was Avebury and Glastonbury. 

Although taken on 2010 trip, it reminds me of the landscape in Ireland. That trip was in 1994
and the camera was film and not digital.
 
A Glorious Sunrise. How do I know?
The roof lines and the hanging candleholder.









These certainly are not All of my favorites...sacred places and images that exemplify the sacred to me.  Does it gives you an idea of what in nature I see as sacred? What would your photographs say about you?

To learn more about my view of the natural world, check out my books. The main characters all have a reverence for and see all of nature as sacred.

Read my Sacred Women’s Circle series to learn more about every day women and the struggles and challenges they overcome to find unconditional love.

My Staying Sane in a Crazy World, provides you with a template to create your Personal Staying Sane Plan to help you through the challenging times.

You can find all of my books at your favorite e-book vendor. Be sure to ask your local library if you’d prefer to read my books through that resource.

Hi Judith, from your pictures I feel you find the beauty in nature and in human interactions with nature sacred.

Lovely photos and memories!

Sarah, that is true. It's rather interesting to me that seeing a storm at the coast with the winds whipping and waves crashing is, in a strange way, calming as is seeing the trees in my yard and neighborhood dancing when the east winds come down the Columbia River Gorge.

Lovely post, Judith. I love clematis and I certainly love standing stones like Stonehenge and the ones in Wales.
