This Moment - My Very First

A Friday ritual. A single photo — no words — capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

“This Moment” is a ritual found on Life inspired by the Wee Man adopted from SouleMama which was introduced to others by Sarah-Jane, of Almost There.

    David...a Memorial to "Love"...you can feel it. I bet when you stand before that space it is soothing and embraces you in the Spirit of Erin...I can see how much care and honouring went into this place you created for Erin. A Place to Visit, a Place to Remember, A Place to Just Be with Erin...wrapped in the Love you shared. Beautiful...R.I.P. Erin...xx

    @luchissmiles Thanks so much!! I used a variety of pics from different sources and timeframes in her life.

    @Leeann This is my place of devotion to Erin and I do my best to maintain it, change the fresh cut flowers as needed and just a place to lose myself. Thanks for understanding as always!!

    @Jan Thanks!! A well-earned tribute to my best friend

    Precious..
    I have carved out my sacred spot in my bedroom for my Memorial to "Love" for my Mama. I have found such comfort in just standing before her photos and special items that belonged to her sitting on my antique dresser that sits in the corner. Love is an eternal thing which Erin gave to you. Thank you.

    @Amy I'm glad to be here at last :)

    @Martha Thanks for the kind words!! A shrine is the least I can do for Erin after she gave everything to me for so many years.

    @Mari Erin's work as a therapy dog helped define her and some of our best moments together came helping others. Thought have her vest and collar would be a nice touch

    @Jyoti Images last a lifetime and never fade as memories do over time
