Gratitude Thursday ~ Still human

Posted on October 4, 2012

Life is funny.

I type not from the cafe that I usually work from, but from our tiny little table at home. I need a little extra comfiness today. I share the space with the remains of my son's sandwich, his pink penguin and beautiful flowers from my love because he knew this week has been rough.

I am grateful for the flowers, the pink penguin and yes, even the crust. It is a reflection of a life I love, one that I helped build. 

The last 7 days have been a mixture of all sorts of tears from many different places, silly mishaps, worry and heated words.

It's almost laughable. But I don't feel like laughing.

Give ~ Away for Deeply Rooted

Posted on October 1, 2012

Well folks, it's Give~away time!

I have been pouring my heart into this program for months and I'm so excited to unveil it to you on October 15th. I truly feel like this is going to be such a special program.

We will experience the beauty of a cleanse while steeping ourselves in self-exploration, leading us to define for ourselves, what a deeply rooted life means to us.

I have never done anything like this before and I thought it would be a super fun way to spread the love! We start in just 2 weeks.

I'm going to be gifting a seat in Deeply Rooted to two lovely ladies! {a $59 value}

Gratitude Thursday ~ A weekly path in photos

Posted on September 27, 2012

On Thursdays, I have the mornings all to myself to work.

I love that I am able to drop my oldest at a school that he adores, surrounded by people who know and care about him. I love that my youngest will be at the most magical nature preschool I could imagine, to play amongst the trees and fields. I love that I can say to them "Mommy is going off to work". Knowing that it's not just any job but the best freaking job in the world (for me).

I am so incredibly in love with life. I want to share that love. Document it. Honor it. Steep myself in the gratitude I have for it.

Gratitude has not always been a big piece of my life and accordingly, the Universe did a very good job of showing me that. 

I have a lot to be grateful for. You have a lot to be grateful for. Really...we do, even when nothing is going our way.

The language of food

I gifted myself a solo beach walk today.

That is not something that happens often. It was lovely. There is no one to talk to, so I watch instead. Sometimes I like this best.

The air had the nip of fall, there was a gusty breeze but that sun..she was warm. Light danced on the water and there were many gulls, sand-pipers and plovers who had come out to play. The was a restlessness to the waves. It was perfect.

I watched the gulls carry clams into the sky only to drop them onto the rocks and sand below in hopes of a tasty morsel. It never fails to amuse me. I love their resourcefulness.

Elements

I don't have a garden. We live in an apartment that does not get enough light for houseplants to thrive, at least not in our LIVING-room.

I have a few potted plans on our porch and two window boxes that are growing at a pathetic pace. But I continue to water and love on every little green friend we have.

We are not allowed to have pets in our apartment. I have read between the lines in that section of the lease and decided that what they really meant to say was no cats and dogs. So we have settled for a hefty white guinea pig and a bright blue betta fish. We would love to have a dog again someday. The amount of time I spend watching that blue fish is ridiculous. He makes me so happy, so do the thriving water plants and jade Buddha keeping him company in that bowl.

Gratitude Thursday

I have been thinking a lot about where I am right now and how I got here. I have various answers, depending on who might ask me about my life.

Of all the self-helpy, new-age, woo-woo stuff I have immersed, absorbed and learned from over the last few years, the one thing that stands out among all the others, is gratitude...Or rather, my practice of gratitude.  It has not always been a big piece of my life and accordingly, the Universe did a very good job of showing me that.

I have a lot to be grateful for. You have a lot to be grateful for. Really...we do, even when nothing is going our way.

Keep moving

2 hours ago I dropped Judah (my almost 3 year old) off at nature preschool for his first day.

He started to sob and cling to me, when he figured out I was leaving. It was awful. I was surprised. This is not his normal demeanor. I stayed by his side for 30 minutes, trying to console him, distract him with an activitiy, any activity. It was a fruitless effort.

With the teachers gentle encouragement, I left the class while he stayed behind on a new lap. My eyes started to burn as I walked up the stairs out into the parking lot. Where I sat for another 20 minutes in my car. 

Opportunity

So I had this big beautiful blog post that I wrote yesterday all ready to go and share with you...then I erased it. I was in shock. "Are you kidding me?!"

I sighed, I wanted to cry but it felt kind of futile. So I did my best to see the bright side of it all. Maybe this was not the blog post for right now, perhaps those words, that story, is for another time. An opportunity to create some thing better, something deeper.
