Daily Balm Monthly Collection April 2022 eBook
Introduction
“May the sun
bring you new energy by day.
May the moon
Softly restore you by night.
May the rain
Wash away your worries.
May the breeze
Blow new strength into your being.
May you walk Gently through the world
And know it’s beauty all the days of your life.”
Apache Blessing
In our world, crammed with bustle, distractions, and endless noise, you may feel the need for some peace. I created the Daily Balm messages to flow soothing energy and kindness into your daily round, and this is the monthly collection from April 2022.
With much love from our home to yours.
