Happy heart loving day to all of you sweeties!! I hope your day is full of radiant joy, play, and love <3 Kisses/Hugs to you and our amazing world!

I stood in a dazzling, Ponderosa life size snow globe this evening, and it was divine! Now off to enjoy some dance time (inspired by a new documentary on Netflix – I Speak Dance) and hopefully the bear is up for some running around as two days now no walking with work or weather schedule – though I like to believe every now and then we all need a good dose of rest 🙂

I am grateful for memories – I can’t believe just how many I am and how things just spark them to come for a visit 🙂 Grateful for snow today for our beautiful forest and though Jack bear misses a walk this day, he is in good spirits and enjoyed a little ride into town. The joy of having his window down and letting in the weather is just a hoot – perhaps why some of my electrical components are wonky but I just can’t not allow these moments 🙂 Grateful for a bit of broccoli and sweet potatoes nourishment with so much garlic and fresh basil – taste buds were delighted today. I am about to enjoy a much needed hot bath and soak in a bit of Jonathan Faust – love now.

My yoga practice was ungraceful, falling, laughing, holding hands with my breath and climbing up the wall – upside down grounding was a sweet way to end. I am grateful to move my body and to move in ways that it wants to, explore movement, and accept <3

Lots of loving wishes to you and our magnificent world. xx

Grateful for a beautiful filled day of patience, sadness, love, and exuberance! The sun was shining today and it was lovely to see some of the same people on the Urban Trail as bear and I did a walk by my family’s house for an even paved saunter. Grateful to treat myself to a couple of things today and enjoying the purr of the heater and the steam of the humidifier as I begin to wind down for the evening. I am wishing you all a most stunning filled night and may you feel love all around you <3 Blessings to you and our beautiful world, xx

Sweet thoughts of all you lovelies <3 I am a bit worn out this night but thank you for all your beautiful posts, and I so look forward to reading your words the next few days!

I am grateful for my bestie to come out for a week's girls vaca! I still embrace this bout of gunk I caught and the toll it has taken on my body and the cranky moments that ensue – grateful my bestie is so understanding and thankful she could allow me to laugh at myself when I found myself at my very best of under the weather and trying to do things with her. We had magical adventures in Sedona, Marshall lake, hikes, picking up litter, delight in watching feather friends, marveling at the beautiful topography of our magical world, eating much yummy goodness, laughing and showing up one day for a rental car for an upgrade to a hemi – it was quite the hoot! I probably have not mentioned this, but I do love the sound of specific sports cars – I tend to lean towards older models but this was a treat to take down the switchbacks 🙂 Jack bear enjoyed lots of adventures and tolerated beautifully a bath, which we then enjoyed a romp in the dirt just because <3

Today I did a lot of resting and reflecting on the word love. How lovely it is that this is free and exists in so many capacities. From filling a mail box package area with cards, wishing people on airplanes safe travels, hugging a dead tree, smiling at a stranger, giving your last dollar to someone in need, saying hello to the singing crows, lighting a candle each night to honor a loved one, looking up to heavenly night sky and making a wish on a shooting star for someone, putting a surprise package together, sharing in a poem, waving to the crazy driver and wishing them well… it is just endless how much love can exist in each moment <3 I am heartfull grateful.

My love to you and all your nook of the world <3 sweet blessings my friends, xx

Indeed sweet Anna it is most beautiful here and I did not know about the meaning of Ponderosa- thank you so much for this! I do think very uncivil-minded leaving trash in the forest or anywhere. I don’t know if people are aware at the consequences of such actions and the impact it has on so many. I am so happy this waste is absent now – loving this people taking care of people, society, and nature! We are all we have if you think about it <3 Lots of love to you my friend <3

Sweet Ursula, I hope I am not too late in responding – though I may not have helpful words as I have not experienced this. Aine’s words may work! When I read your post, I imagined being able to ride in the passenger seat in a dog bed with perhaps a dog treat here and there and loving words and perhaps a hand (if you have an automatic car) resting gently on your furry friend – and some fresh air with the window down 🙂 Violet used to not enjoy long distance car rides and would often cling to me like a cat hanging on a screen but lots of cooing and deep breathing would help calm her. I hope it goes well <3

Oh dear Aine, yes a kaleidoscope how perfect this is! I am excited to hear about your new adventures! Growth is beautiful – it can feel much too big sometimes, but as I was driving in the snow and feeling a bit anxious, a funny thought crossed my head what if my body just needs this one amazing purge of anxiety (and I am not so inkled to allow it because big anxiety can feel BIG) but after this it is just gone. What if I am not allowing my body to do exactly what it wants to do because I am afraid?? Just a thought I am taking into my heart. xx
