30 days of Gratitude: Day 3!

We've been rising earlier. Yes, the whole family! So many benefits have become obvious... How have we been sleeping away such precious time together? We hop out of bed, get the hot water going, Ben makes his coffee, I make my tea, Baz eats his fruit or yogurt and we all meet out on the back deck for a chat while we watch the sun sparkle through the tree canopy. I listen to my favorite kirtan podcast, sing along & dance around like a buffoon much to Ben's embarrasment. 

This morning we met up by the tomatoes and marveled at the abundant harvest that seems so late to us. Still getting used to Oregon cycles and how they differ from Utah and California cycles. Loving every moment. 

My entire being is shining with gratefulness for these morning moments with my sweet little family, for the sunshine which we realize is all too fleeting & for the blessing of beginning each day with such light & love. 

30 days of Gratitude: Day 2!

I am so grateful for the rainbow in my refrigerator! 

When I opened my refrigerator this morning, I was struck motionless. I stopped and stared at the rainbow of produce beaming at me. I am truly grateful for the abundant cornucopia of fresh, live food that feeds the bodies in & that visit my household. A perfect time for a raw/veg/fruit/green smoothie cleanse? Yes. The night before last, I committed to this 3 day cleanse with two of my goddess sisters. We're thinking of making this a permanent monthly cleanse around the new moon (perhaps the full moon, as well?). This is the first run, however, so talk to us about further commitment when we're through it. ;)

30 days of Gratitude: Day 1!

Just dipping my toes back into the blogging world & adding a splash of color to the day.

I've been awol too long. This space is beckoning to me... So many changes occurring and I am not yet ready to share deeply. Summertime brought so much food for thought and I have been chewing on that content for months. As we slip into Autumn, I find myself excited to get outside, to play in the leaves, to defeat the neighborhood hill on a daily basis, to circle together with sister friends, to prepare soups and salads and green smoothies and to feed my community. Fall is truly the season in which I blossom and flourish. How is it that it is a surprise every year? I think I am wired funny... Summer is when I experience SAD. ;) Autumn is all about happy. 

Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, I wish you an enchanting gratitude season. 

Hmmm... feeling inspired to share my gratitude this season. 30 days of Gratitude? Yes. Just what the doc ordered. I'm not one to really wade in the shallow waters, so I guess I may as well dive in. 

I am so grateful for my sweet little boy. For his smiles & laughter & natural joy. He inspires me to remember my inner child & divine light and to laugh every day... and he makes my heart swell (to almost bursting) with love. Thank you, Sebastian Fox, for adding so much color to my world.
