The unexpected scent of fresh sweet flowers around me when I meditate, or, go about my day. I sense Spirit is with me, protecting me, loving me.

The afternoon sun shines in my living room warming a white rose with the sweet smell of the rose on my window sill. This past weekend I was at a shopping plaza downtown(Horton Plaza) and a young couple presented me with the white rose saying it was a gift from God to me!!

The smell of my own warm, sweaty skin when playing in the garden of our family home. The smell of a wafer cone.

Lilacs, and the smell of the N.E. Atlantic water there is nothing like the cold sea spray. The smell of low tide on the way to my grandparents house. Chanel #5 my grandmothers perfume and the bread fresh from the oven my mom Baked.. the most comforting and peaceful is the smell of a horse barn... hay, shavings, horse.
