The world lies hushed in silver light, The bustle fades to calm tonight, By fire’s glow our voices blend, With song and cheer among our friends. #FiresideFriends (1/3) youtu.be/bAgr-er_V8o?...

TY, @jaybird54.bsky.social You're hope, love & light personified! @aimee95z28.bsky.social @rjtinman.bsky.social @altonpi.bsky.social @frenchieresistance.bsky.social @cosmotheshaggydog.bsky.social @mt-nestor.bsky.social @lemonadegirl.bsky.social @yentothedor.bsky.social @bob0482.bsky.social

Good morning to you, may you always see the blessings around you, and understand that you are the blessing for others, too. As the Irish say: "May the blessings of light be upon you, light without and light within."

On Winter’s Solstice, gathered near, We warm the dark with voices clear, A circle bright against the cold, Where stories shared and hands we hold Turn frost to embered cheer. #FiresideFriends (1/3) 🎶 youtu.be/CVStBdF9b2I?... 🎶

I took weeks to do this one, from one of our Fireside Friends meetups, it's not often I get so detailed in my work, but I wanted it to look as close to real as possible. Yeah, that's me, with my absolute favorite person.

May each of you begin the week with a bit of fun and frivolity.

"Become totally empty. Let your heart be at peace. Admits the rush of worldly comings and goings, observe how endings become beginnings." ~ Lao Tzu

Goodnight, friends! Tomorrow is my social media free day, so there will not be Breakfast Crew or #Jaye’sMorningLight I’ll be here tomorrow night to attend the holiday event hosted by @bishopx50.bsky.social @bluthrunthru.bsky.social and @lexit27.bsky.social Hope to see many of you there.

As winter winds through war‑torn lands would call, Homes trimmed their trees though shadows touched them all. Each candle flickered soft against fear, A whispered promise to ones held dear— That love stands guard when nights grow cold and tall. #FiresideFriends (1/3) 🎶 youtu.be/e4VdlJOxxGg?... 🎶

Lao Tzu wrote, “Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” Rather than feeling overwhelmed or rushing things, we achieve more by doing less intentionally. Instead of trying to control each second, focus on one small step and trust the progress coming from steady, mindful effort.

As daylight thins and the fire's soft crackle begins, We gather 'neath pines slowly breathing. Sharing trails and memory's cherished songs we go singing Transitioning distance between us growing smaller, While the forest's looming trees, no more menacing, are merely taller. #FiresideFriends

Good Morning. "Be happy in the moment, that’s enough. Each moment is all we need, not more." — Mother Teresa youtu.be/cJqjlFGZxtE?...

Welcome #FiresideFriends It's A Stampede! ----- The midway glitters, rides spin high, Bright banners ripple against the sky, Sweet scents of kettle corn drift through, A carnival of color, bold and new. 🎶 youtu.be/WrLbuiqsGJU?... 🎶

Ancient wisdom tells us when you want to keep something, do not hold too firmly to it or it will slip through your grasp. Remember we all have time of action and time of rest, put your action to good use and let the thing you desire remain in sight while allowing it to come freely to you.

Cantina Nights In the warm hum of the cantina’s glow, spices drift like whispered tales, mingling with the laughter that swells and folds between the strum of guitars and the clink of glasses. #FiresideFriends Be welcome, Amigos! Come in, Welcome! 🎶 youtu.be/xm1NMwAXvkc?... 🎶

Embers in Motion 🔥 In the circle’s sway, our laughter blooms like firelight, hands clasped, hearts beating in the same bright rhythm— each step a spark, each turn a gentle flame, until the night itself learns the warmth of our joy. #FiresideFriends We invite you to share in the warmth of friendship.

"Good leaders reach solutions, and then stop. They do not dare to rely on force." ~ Lao Tsu Leadership isn’t merely solving problems but unlearning our urge to immediately give the solution, and instead teach how to find the root of the problem then the identify the steps to correct it ourselves.

Winter Hearth --------------- Frost taps on the glass, laughter curls with rising steam— hands meet by the fire. #FiresideFriends Those in search of respite, come share in laughter and friendship through the fun and compassion community offers, tonight. 🎶 youtu.be/g6A6opUgoEc?... 🎶

Good Morning 🌄 I hope each of you finds something so inspiring in the days ahead that every ounce of your talents are used and you are able to call out to the universe, "I used all you gave me!" ✨🔥✨

There's nothing better than waking up to the sound of a sweet, loving voice telling you "Good Morning" and asking how you slept and if you're doing well. At some point, you realize it's the people who show you the simplest acts of love that are the best things in life. ☀️ youtu.be/oYM7HCnViC4?... 😎

Winter’s Midnight Tide The moon spills silver on the sleeping waves, Each crest a whisper the shoreline saves. The air is crisp, yet soft with peace, A hush that bids the world’s cares cease. #FiresideFriends Come share in the Festival of Lights on the open waters! youtu.be/lswU43hzOnI?...

A Quiet Evening By the Fire The firelight dances, warm and bright, Its glow a balm against the night, Soft piano notes drift through the air, A gentle song beyond compare. #FiresideFriends youtu.be/c59h1EEIQpo?...

In winter’s hush, laughter sparks the night, Embers rising, friendship burns so bright. The cold presses, yet hearts refuse to tire, We circle close, a living, breathing fire. Each smile aflame, each story fuels the glow, Together blazing, though around us lies the snow. #FiresideFriends

🕯️A Dim-Lit Gathering 🌙 The velvet gloom of red awninged door, Holds back a chill from the night outside. Within, a low fire whispers on the floor, Its flickering mood the lamps all confide. (1/8) #FiresideFriends

Good morning, I hope you all slept well, are well rested and have a gorgeous day, even if it is Monday.

Good evening, tonight the #FiresideFriends are resting. It is needed for any warrior, to paraphrase Miyamoto Musashi: "In stillness the warrior becomes invincible." We hope you will share the fun with us tonight. (Please check out the alt text of the image for more.) 🎶 youtu.be/HwZcv3KW7Xk?... 🎶

George Baumler said, "A great wave of oppressive tyranny isn't going to strike, but rather a slow seepage of oppressive laws and regulations from within will sink the American dream of liberty." The dreamers, philosophers, teachers and visionaries to often go unheeded, may other nations take note.

Remember the ancient Japanese proverb that states: "One kind word can warm three winter months." May you each offer one kind word to a stranger and a friend, and find yourself receiving three in return. I hope you all have a lovely day.

Good morning. 🌞 Missed a day? It’s okay. Got distracted? Okay. Lost your rhythm? Still okay. Your only task is to return: Returning is the training. Returning is the transformation. Returning allows you to reach into the calm center of the oneness inside you. ✨

*On waves we rise while ocean sings, Tides carve sand where memories cling, Each wave a bond, each crest a hand, Together we heal our hearts and land. (1/3) #FiresideFriends 🎶 youtu.be/mZPWwQeHmL0?... 🎶 Welcome! Tonight we are sponsoring the Operation: Sock Drop charity! fobh.org/operation-so...

Good Morning Friends. May each of you have a Fantastic Friday filled with frolicking great fun!

On Shadows of War & Hope In the Light -- Before the storm, the allies trembled, fear and anger braided tight, as whispers of a tyrant’s rise darkened the edges of the night. (1/6) #FiresideFriends

🎶 On the wings of the night As the daytime is stirring Where the speechless unite in a silent accord Using words, you will find, are strange Mesmerized as they light the flame Feel the new wind of change On the wings of the night 🎶 youtu.be/hMxkxBGJbFg?...

I wonder if it's more stressful to try to stay inside the lines...

Good Morning, today offers unexpected wonders and unknown promise to offer you what you need most in life. All you have to do is choose to look for it, believe it, and understand that if it's not today there is something still necessary in the place, to moment, where you are. It all starts with you!

Though night may press with heavy hands, And silence drapes the weary lands, Two unseen spirits walk beside — Love and Hope, our secret guides. (1/3) #FiresideFriends youtu.be/nIR3iRfZxYs?...

Good Morning, may your day be full of sunshine and songbirds that keep you smiling throughout the day. It's going to be one of those interesting days for me... youtu.be/bthfzGMqQS0?...

Around the crackling flame we stand, hands joined like roots beneath the land, songs rise with sparks into the night, we kindle hope, we share the light. (1/2) #FiresideFriends 🎶 youtu.be/Yyd5kmngrOU?...
