I know my body and mind and soul crave and need it. Unfortunately, I think I’m in the same boat with my property. I haven’t officially looked into selling, but my sense is that I would be under water as well. Plus, there’s the security of the job and not knowing what the heck to do with myself if I start over in a new town/city that has me terrified…
…So, until something kicks my ass and makes me move, I have to settle for February/March island vacation. I just returned from a two-week excursion to Puerto Rico and I’m sunburned to prove it. Funny, the looks I’ve received as my color is nothing short of unusual and rare here. :o) I wish the heightened Vitamin D levels would get me through the rest of the winter though.
On an entirely different note…Vegan babies!!! YAY!! We definitely need more of them. :o)

It’s really simple yet profound things like that which make you appreciate your experiences.

So many of your mini-journeys and internal workings parallel mine, and I am thoroughly delighted that you’ve begun to grasp authenticity over positive-masking. Also totally jealous of those strawberries pictured, I’ve never seen any so big and red! I love all of your photos!

This little blogging community might not be the flesh and blood real-life connections, but it is something, so thank you for being here.

It’s amazing how profoundly something like that can affect a person (maybe not so amazing, really), and I see it manifest in new ways all the time. Some of them make my life more difficult, but many have made me a stronger, more aware person. I think a lot of my empathy and compassion is borne from the struggles I’ve faced in my life. Anyway, I don’t know that there’s a point I’m trying to make, but thank you for the kind words. =)

It is pure life force!

I can only imagine how incredibly painful (and confusing) it must have been to become a mother and lose a mother in such a short time period. Wow. For me, I have mostly resolved my feelings regarding my mother’s passing, and it was definitely a bit of a surprise how much stuff came up when I became a mother myself (I shouldn’t have been surprised really, because OBVIOUSLY, but I just wasn’t paying attention).

Thank you for sharing and for reading. Also, totally tangential and perhaps inappropriate, but crazy0haired mamas unite! Love your blue! <3

These days I worship it much the same as others worship their deity. Seriously, it is my divinity!

A little reminder of what’s to come! And it’s juuuuust right around the corner . . .
