Amor Milagre Organic Broccoli Ravioli Handmade Pasta
Dinner tonight is a dish of baby’s handmade pillowy broccoli ravioli. So good! Our school lessons also include cooking, baking, laundry, budgeting, and cleaning. One needs to know how to take healthy care of hearth & home.
We’re also looking to summer, ready to build up skills with plans for a few new adventures. It’s the weekend already? Time for audiobooks, libraries, science projects, book editing, and delicious bakes. Hope you have a lovely one. It’s pretty and raining here. Love it! Everything is green.
This week, we’re adding the finishing lines and photos to this year’s homeschool portfolio. It is so very important, in this lazy digital age, to teach and learn naturally with your senses. Natural lighting and healthy routines nurture us in our unplugged schoolroom. Reading real pages, writing what you really think, and knowing how to think are vital skills. They build up an empowering way of learning which needs to be preserved. Every person has an entire world inside of them. Every person needs the tools to navigate and translate their inner world to keep themselves safe on the outside. Allowing tangible, and intangible, mediums of expression may heal a soul for a lifetime. Draw, paint, sing, cook, act, sand, cut and paste, sculpt, play, write. Allow learning to connect you to yourself. What you like today may surprise you later on when reading of this connection in an old journal. It’s all a part of you. Take the time to try it out. It’s an endless web, but not online. We’re all connected through story patterns and emotional dips and plateaus. Timeless lessons keep life interesting. Designing your own education allows you to learn so much more without pressure or fluff. Hydrate. Take real care. Sleep. Eat fresh, healthy foods. Breathe in fresh garden air. Move as needed. Explore freely. One may connect it all together to shape the truth that no one can know everything. And so, we learn more. Do you ask questions? Do you seek answers? Do you ask yourself questions? How can you find those answers? By trying…keep trying. There are no incorrect answers there…your own book may help someone else.
Thoughts are endless…allow them to help you heal the harm of our world. Studying yourself is an ongoing portfolio. Leave space in the back to grow and change. Learn. Love, ~ Amor Milagre
Listening to Ideas, Black and White Photography, Amor Milagre
Tonight’s story is about a portrait photographer. I’ll write it, with tea. Our homeschool photography lessons have reconvened, flooded with location lists. Photography is magic. A great love, here. We love doing family portraits, but haven’t done many. Too busy for fun? *Oh, come, let’s do some… Sometimes, we make short videos into silent films, B&W. It’s a cute, hilarious result to save and rewatch…with popcorn. Oh, how we age and grow. I love laugh lines…crinkle it up!
Cameras are eyes are memories are songs are feathers are tins of papers, with curled edges and splotches of inks of laughter, from that day when we sat on that rock and ate PB sandwiches…
*A gentle reminder: After you listen to your own idea, and you want to share it, you may need to remind those around you to… “Shh…listen…I want to tell you something.” (Sometimes, like with dreams, everyone gets too excited and wants to be in on it…the idea…but by pushing yours down into the mud, to be louder, to be heard. Sillies…why? Just listen. Shh…listen. This idea includes you. Listen to ideas…to gold..to silver…gelatin…to you.
“Now, I’ll listen to you. You were saying something lovely about…?”
Remember to remember. Love, ~Amor Milagre
P.S. Free idea…really great one…super possible…good-women’s-healthcare. Let’s do it! Yesterday…please. All the world is in a trance. Despite this designer’s sadness that long ago the fashion industry somehow trapped themselves on top of an old record…spinning on that loop…and the people all drag around in toxic lycra and fleece undergarments…it is imperative that the weary medical world re-awaken, perhaps for the first time. Work to help, not to widen the gap. We know you’re tired, but there needs to be a new wave to help you…down to the receptionists. Every role makes a huge difference. Make it positive. Make it work. Help. Women and children need help. Research anything. Help. Work.

Amor Milagre Journal: Spring Garden, Pirates, Pasta, and May Adventures
We met on a beach, and so after nearly 12 years of exploring various shores and waters together, we thought a serene way to celebrate was to return to reflect on our love story…this time with our treasure, to play a game of scavenger hunts with crinkly old maps and sandy digs. We found what we were hoping for, and so we’ll keep playing, on and on, together forever. Inspired by tales from my desk, a certain note left by Piratess Moira, and a local borrowing of Treasure Island, we set forth into the mist…

We’ve been exploring neighbouring libraries to see what kinds of treasure they hold dear in their donated collections. Our language lessons were filled with naughty rabbit pirates this week, in various exclamations of awareness…of a certain irritated gardener.

Your greatest treasure is always within twenty paces of wherever you stand…zero boot lengths even…it’s you…you are your true love. Take care not to lose your sense of this, for you really cannot. Love is your shadow, so you might as well have a dance, then!
Happy Spring Moments & Adventures, Love ~ Amor Milagre
