Today is not only Groundhog day (another legend with ancient roots),
but it is Candlemas. That is the day when all the candles for the coming church year were blessed.
Simple Abundance tells us to bring light into our homes today by lighting candles. There is something soft and lovely about a newly lit beeswax candle!
( Storing candles in the freezer before lighting them may make them burn more slowly...)
Pausing as you lighta candle and remembering a wish or intention is a lovely spiritual gesture.

How lovely ~ and candlelight always brings a bit of magic to an otherwise dreary winters evening.
Don't you just love Simple Abundance??
Lila,
Sending you wishes for a glowing Candlemas! Keep warm!
Enjoyed the St. Bridgets crosses...I'm going to look for a tutorial to see how they are made...your quilt is awesome.
I've never heard of this. Thank you for sharing. I love candles and will think differently each time I light one at home now.
