Such a provocative post... funny, how what I thought I was going to write is not ready to come out... but thank you so very much for asking...

:-)

Have a beautiful day, and I hope you are well and magic follows you everywhere.

(((hugs))),

Not good, really. It's my birthday (27!) and I'm reminded that I'm back at square one. My boyfriend and I broke up a month ago. This month, two of the "great loves of my life" got married. I feel stagnate, a lot lonely, and a lot unsure. My friends are over a hundred miles away and I'm scared.

But, it can only get better from here, right?

bruised, shaken, a little scared, but not broken.

thankful, grateful and full of love.

Honestly...at this moment, I feel amazing. I am vibrating with energy and ideas and a sense of happiness that makes me feel like I could explode. If I wanted to give you a well rounded picture, I would tell you how I am at a crossroads with a relationship and that I am not sure I want it to be as it is anymore. I would tell you that I am saddened by this, but I am not attached to the sadness of that loss. I see an opportunity for growth and renewing myself. How can I want what was when what is is so inviting and exciting? Being present, I am finding easier to do each day and I don't want to go backwards. Because of that, I am on fire with inspiration. I am alive.

You already know. It's knowing that you care that makes the difference.

Love you.xo

Sleepy. Shiver-y (a little cold, since I'd gone back to luxuriate under the covers and haven't adjusted to the air temp outside yet). Frustrated because I can't come up with a "transformative moment" post for a meme. Wanting to declutter the kitchen after a cup of chai.

for the second time in as many days, that question has been posed...i have seen those very words in front of my face...even the "really" part...asking. as a person, i am fine...better than fine! i find myself in situations, however, that are not fine, and therein lies the difficulty. apparently, it is time to address them, since the question keeps coming up! thanks for asking...

I have been feeling pretty good but today I feel yucky and overwhelmed and grumpy. I want it to pass. The weather is overcast and blah. On the flip side, I am looking forward to embarking on another leg of my grand adventure because I have actually committed to doing a craft show!! Scary and exciting.. here we go.. wheeeeee.
( PS I miss you)

August 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterHeather

scared, confused, wondering where we are going.

but at the same time doing well, fully loved, and fully loving.

I got a big smile on my face today!!!

Right now, I'm a buzz of afternoon caffeine, getting ready to prepare dinner.
But all around ~ I think I'm good. I feel happy and optimistic.
Wishing you a wonderful day.

i'm achy all over - my back and neck are out of wack and i'm not sure why.

the rest...i'm trying to let it go. breathing. xo

August 19, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterkristen

Right now I am in that space between a rock and a hard place because I am dealing with chronic illness. It's humbling and it's so hard to constantly be grieving pieces of myself. This last month has been especially hard and this week especially so. THanks for asking. xo Liz

August 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Tired and a little exasperated, but still kickin'. Lots of deep breaths!

August 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJudy Merrill-Smith

at a crossroads in my life. trying to decide which way to go. focusing on ME is difficult.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Funny, I thought I would let it all spill, but I just can't...

Thanks for asking though.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLisa

confused. honestly.

August 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMars

at this very moment..so very very sad...

but just reading 'not attached to the sadness'...mmmmm..wise words.

Liz...thank you for asking..you must be an angel xx

I am infused with possibility ~ hopeful and passionate

and yet

terribly tired and frustrated because in all that I am
doing...the 'present' is slipping through my hands

today

i am vowing a day of presence ~ shopping in the market for cheese and berries with my children

stopping for tea at the African luncheonette

treating myself to something delicious and sweet

saying something really lovely to a stranger just to make them smile

:)

*waves happily*

we must get together in seattle for a lunch together
would really love that:)

August 23, 2009 | Unregistered Commentermaddie

i am loving this...
worried about my son, because he is worried
trusting God
tired
happy
amazing
filled with hope
learning
full of wonder
trusting God
How beautiful, of you to ask.
I adore you.
