Thanks


It's so easy to get mired in the muck of the everyday. To lose sight of the joy and the wonder. To forget the experiences, big and small, that amaze, surprise and delight me. That ignite my spirit and soothe my soul.

Today, in this moment, I give thanks for simply being. Here. Now. And I bow down in gratitude for the life I've been given. The life I've created. And for everyone who has walked with me: for an hour, a year, or the entire journey.

First Snow

Sure, the world as we know it has been turned upside down since the super storm hit.

But there is still something magical about the first snow of the season. It blankets the earth in quiet, muffling the high-pitched sounds of sadness, guilt, loss, fear. And creates a fresh, clean canvas on which we can lay down new brushstrokes, and begin again.
