Quiet Season
Leddy Hammock Inspired by “A Quiet Christmas” by Michael Gott: My heart longs for a quiet Christmas, far from the hurry and the noise, for peace on earth meets peace of mind. I can slow my mind.

Leddy Hammock Inspired by “I Made Room for Grace” by Sue Riley): When I stumble, I won’t be defeated, since I make room for grace. I stop resisting. I make room for grace.

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics to “If I Were Brave” by Jana Stanfield: I refuse to listen to the voice of fear.

Breaking Spells
Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics by Steve Gillette in “A Little Bit of Solitude” — Thank You, God, for the patience to stand back and be kind.

Making the Grade
Leddy Hammock There is a lesson to be learned in every experience. Every lesson is worthwhile and we teach as we learn. Whatever we go through, it's what we grow through that counts. Life is a school. What we used to call "problems" we now call "projects." The inner Teacher sends a message: peace and harmony.

Everybody’s rich, happy and free.” “What can I do to…
Off the Deep End
Leddy Hammock From lyrics by Karen Drucker – “Let Go of the Shore” — “Let go of the shore, and let the water carry you. Let go of the shore. Float into the mystery . . . . You have all you need.
