Experiencing the pure joy my girl had when she put on her bunny costume which was hand made by a teacher at a daycare. So special!

The reminder not to take electricity for granted. Last night was a cold one, but I am fortunate to have a wood burning fireplace and generous neighbors who supplied me with wood to burn. So happy to be in a heated home tonight. :-)

Quite a few things come to mind today... very grateful to be able to lounge around with my girl, have time to re-organize things around the house and clean, do some yoga (wow, I've been missing this spiritual practice for a few months and didn't realize it!), and thankful for all the emergency personnel who are working/volunteering their time to make sure people in the way of this hurricane are as safe as possible. <3

Namaste.

Having some extra time off to weather the storm and contemplate the movie Cloud Atlas. Saw it today. What a thick, deep plot. Good movie.

Conversations with my girl.

Yummy dinners and after dinner walks.

Seeing my girl's eyes light up as I told her I loved her this evening. We then spent the next few minutes blowing kisses to each other from the front seat to the back seat of the car. So precious!

All the Buddhist Boot Camp posts. Can't wait to read the book!

Sunrise running in the fall. Beautiful colors and the perfect temp. Great way to start the day! :-)

Closing out two busy weeks. Digging my vanilla coffee this morning... chilling out with my girl listening to tunes while she colors and I catch up on email and reading. I feel beauty in the simplicity of these minutes.

Unexpectedly bumping in to my best friend from high school while we were picking up our kids from school today. I was not exactly feeling very social today, but it was nice to see her and I forced myself to come out of it for a few minutes to catch up and make plans to get together soon.

Re-reading my other blog that I started last year around this time. Wow. What a difference a year makes. I'm so very much healthier, both in mind and body. I'm very grateful for all the stops, good and bad, along the way. They all have served to bring me to this place... to myself.

Namaste.

Completing a half marathon and having some welcomed, but unexpected company for half of it. So grateful to spend such a beautiful day along the water in Wilmington, and next to someone who supports me through thick and thin, ups, downs, and curvy turns. So awesome! Good time with the family today too. Love you all. :-)

My girl lit up with excitement over the fall fest at her school. She and her friends had an absolute blast. What a joy to witness!

Dr. Brian Weiss and his ability to regress people in to their past lives. Truly remarkable and fully inspiring to me.

Seeing some beautiful family photographs. I love the talented artistry of photographers!

Patience bestowed on me. I am so very grateful. I am also content. Thank you.

Beautiful changing fall leaves. Spent the weekend in the mountains of western MD. Gorgeous!

Productive week personally and professionally. Maintaining the training for the half marathon, in the process of having my car repaired after an accident a couple of months ago, work stuff not worth listing here but still productive. Good stuff! Ready for relaxation.

Knowing when enough's enough.

Being in a library. I just love them. I am inspired to read everything I can put my hands on while I am there. Nerd love...
