My Sacred Life, Day 5

Kyra.

Kyra is connected to it all.

All that I find sacred in this world wraps right back around this Light.

All that is Golden and Joyful about childhood.

Right here.

Living proof that
an abundance of acceptance
creates an abundance of acceptance.

The greatest impact of her friend's death?
Acceptance.

A tighter cling to the belief that Life is for Living

&

If you're not busy living what the hell
you- know- what are ya doing?

To see those very things embodied, hang with this girl for 3.48 minutes!

To look her in the eye is to realize Namaste.

She shines, infinitely.

We bask in her glow,
as we are reminded
to shine ourSelves,
as openly
and brightly
as Kyra does.

Whole,
Complete,
Perfect

~Amen~

Exactly

My Sacred Life, Day 4

Family. The people I've chosen to draw nearest to me on this Journey as diana.
This here group spirals tightly together. Never a dull moment in this crowd.
No, not only because we're loud. We're pretty sharp witted, too ;)
We love each other and we like each other. Bonus.And we really LOVE, LOVE, ♥ ♥ ♥ Bowling For Soup! ♥ ♥ ♥Thanks Universe, for Emma and Eli.
For their part in restoring my faith in our bloodline.
And for them crazy, beer-drinking, singing-pretty, silly-boys from Denton, Texas.
Amen, indeed.

My Sacred Life, Day 3

12 years ago, in the transition from the Year of the Pig to the Year of the Rat, I carried my daughter in my womb. This time, I carry her memories in my heart; her story is carried on my soul. Around my neck I carry some remains of what once was a physical home to her soul. When I can bear it. Lately I've needed this talisman to remind me I didn't dream her entire existence, nor my experience as her mommy. I can't remember who I was before her. I can't imagine who I'd be I'll become without her.

My Sacred Life, Day 2

Tea.
Chai tea.
5 Valley Chai Tea
(I wish you could smell this!)
My entire being says
aaaaaaahhhhhh
As I connect soulfully to all that is wonderful in My Life and in The World.
The scent from the steam gently opens the boxes of memories, much like these seed pods, both so tightly bound to the magic of tea.
Thank you Aunt Donna, tea cannot be served in my presence without joyful & loving thoughts of you ♥

My Sacred Life, Day 1

On one of those meanderings through the world of blogs, I stumbled across a button at the bottom of the blog belonging to someone who commented on Hayden's blog (who happens to live in Japan and reads Kelli & Mary!) and when I clicked, it took me to Sacred Sunday. Because I'm in a place where I need more than a weekly kick-in-the-Spiritual-Pants, I followed along to Sacred Life where I realized the powerful potential of Living Connected for the next 30 Days.
In fact, in my ponderings of this post, Hayden has decided he'd like to embark on the project too. He'll be directing my photography at his blog ♥

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My hands and my spirit are great partners in my life, there are connections abound.
I thought I'd embark upon this journey with an Oregon specific connection ♥
My hand is touching green, in January. What a treat for this former Prairie Girl.
I am grateful for the quiet green life, reminding me Winter need not be stark.
*Life goes on. Always.*

I am Celebrating the Stillness of Me at 6 am

Celebrate!

Flash Harper

Before you read this post, you could open this in another tab/window and share my internal background music, I don't need the other tab :D Welcome to my World.

As I walked out of the restaurant's bathroom, I saw this out the front door... Then Freddy begins to sing in my head and I giggle like mad!
In reality, Harper is sharing his coat and his warmth with two cccooolllddd girls in a chilly and damp Corvallis parking lot. A true gentleman. And a good sport.
He wanted a good picture of a pretend flashing... So,
he rolled up his pants, turned his back to me, opened his coat to the empty table,
and got surprised by his weekend's hostess!!

He blushed.
Thanks Harper.


P.S. Harper generally refrains from flashing strangers.

I am Playing Along

I am Buff-headed Coucal and I introduce my acclaimed album, "Some People Never Listen"
I won't sing, if you play along!
1. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first article title on the page is the name of your band.
2. www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.
3. www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/ The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover. You then take the pic and add your band name and the album title to it, then post your pic.


Though you won't catch *me* advocating it, some participants have admitted to fudging a bit... I didn't have to, my computer refuses to accept any gifs today, so I picked the third jpeg :) Nothing against the wrinkly old man and the rusty pontiac, you just weren't meant to be today.

Sunshine & Rainbows

I awoke from dreams of Real Carmel Breve and French Toast. Greeted by blue sky, sunshine & a big ol' rainbow ♥ I wasn't dreaming, I really was headed to the place where I can have all those things in my life, as long as I'm up by 2 pm :) My Life is Good!
