About Bon Dammes:
The Bon Dammes are devic Goddesses in
Brittany that appears much like fairies and often act with as
much impishness. Having a kindly nature, the Bon Dammes inspire
playful, youthful outlooks to take with us into early fall with
childlike wonder in our hearts.
To Do Today:
Follow the custom of all regions in the
United Kingdom (except Scotland) and take a day off today. Enjoy
family outings and a little leisure before the warm weather
really starts to fade.
Sleep in a bit,
ask for a few hours off from work, get outside and play with the
Bon Dammes. Leave them gifts of sparkling stones, honey, and
sweet bread beneath any flower or tree that captures your eye
and makes you smile. In return, the Bon Dammes will make sure
your day is filled with pleasurable surprises.
Thinks about an
activity you really enjoyed as a kid, and recapture that moment
sometime today. Jump down a hopscotch board, play tag with the
wind, climb a tree (carefully please!), pick buttercups, go
berry picking, skinny-dip in a stream, or do whatever
re-inspires the Bon Dammes's youthfulness in your hearth. You'll
find that this moment refreshes your entire outlook and provides
extra energy for the days ahead. |
