over here
The last few weeks have been full and beautiful and hard and so very good. There have been incredible conversations and a trip to urgent care and deep understanding and laughter through tears and a visit from my mom and trips to Portland and wide hugs and a bit of letting go and time in a salt water hot pool. Oh yes. Beauty in one hand, messy in the other. The usual. And I look forward to sharing some stories soon. For now though I'm just going to share these peeks and take a deep breath and enjoy a dear friend who is visiting for the week and work on my holiday Soul Mantra collection and breathe in and out some more.
Soul Sisters was really wonderful. As in, you should think about putting it on your calendar for next year. I'm putting it on mine.
(Jenna took photos 1 and 7. The snippet of poetry is "Voices" by Naomi Shihab Nye from her collection Red Suitcase. It took my breath away unexpectedly last week and is now one of my favorite poems of all time.)

Mmm, poetry rec. Only I can't find "The Red Tent" but I can find "The Red Suitcase"..... is it way out of print?
Hey chickadee-doo-dah!!! It was really nice to meet you and get to know you at Soul Sisters! And I really love your little illustration of the good of life in one hand and the messy in the other. I think you made my paradigm shift!!! And I love that you are doing gratitude-y/thankful things for November. I will be following that closely!!! Blessings.
