Farewell 2010

There’s a different feeling in the air today, like a good friend that’s leaving you after being by your side during happy times and seeing you through tough ones, and introducing you to someone new.    As I reflect on all the different things that happened this year I’m so thankful to God for all our blessings, and… Continue reading Farewell 2010

Adventures of Biggie the bulldog

Santa Paws

Biggie has decided that bulldogs inside a chimney are a much better suprise than Santa Claus and all his glorious bag of goodies.  Or maybe he’s plotting his escape route?     Last night I found Biggie had suddenly grown a beard and it didn’t take long to figure out his cheeks were a nice deep black from having stuck… Continue reading Santa Paws

One Word: Wishing

Phantom of the Opera. That was my immediate thought for today’s word. “wishing you were somehow hear again…” One of my favorite musicals. I remember performing songs from this musical when I was in Junior High. Those are some of my most treasured childhood memories…being on stage, singing, it was magical.  Such fun!  I should… Continue reading One Word: Wishing

Meditation

Be still my restless mind

First the good news.  I have just completed a full month of meditation at ZCOC, woohoo!  Some people may not think this a major achievement, but for me, someone who struggles with sitting quietly while not letting my thoughts take full control of me, this is a very proud moment. I think I posted something about… Continue reading Be still my restless mind

Auntie Time

  Monday night my niece Madi and I had a slumber party.  We watched the movie Igor, unfortunately though I did doze off a couple of times, the good thing is Madi never noticed.  Either that or she figured her Aunti needed some shut eye.  I have a serious problem with dozing off when watching movies late in… Continue reading Auntie Time

Black Swan

Saturday evening my husband and I went to see Black Swan, which was interesting (to say the least) and left me rather baffled, particularly the ending.  I was going to write about it that night, but I’m a bit glad I didn’t because I’m finding that with every day that passes I like the movie a bit more than… Continue reading Black Swan

Merry Christmas ~ 2010

I couldn’t ask for anything more today.  As I sit her reflecting on what I’d like to share I feel the warmth of the fireplace radiating on my back, our little bulldog Biggie is sleeping in his favorite spot sunbathing, and I hear the sound of music coming from the garage as my lovely husband… Continue reading Merry Christmas ~ 2010

One Word: “Alter”

My first thought was flexibility. Things have a way of changing and we can’t control situations or outcomes. What we can do to make these changes a little bit easier is be flexible. It’s not easy, because we tend to be creatures of comfort, but its a heck of a lot better than the alternative… Continue reading One Word: “Alter”

Today is a beautiful day!  I feel this great positive energy beaming inside me and radiating out and I know good things will come.  I love family time, and last night was so special and fun.  My parents, grandma, brother, sister in law, niece, nephew, and I all went to see the Christmas decorations in Fountain… Continue reading Blessings
