Ahhhh

I am so very filled with gratitude this New Year!

Some small things I am thankful for today...

An amazing wife who picked up Mommy duty this morning so that I could enjoy my first "day at the office"

A heater fixed in twenty minutes for a reasonable price

HOT, fast Chinese take out with no msg ready in ten minutes and just down the street.

A wonderful sister -in -law to share a meal with on a cold Florida night!

My beautiful children

a peaceful home!

sleep all tight and cozy tonight...I will

A Post in Green & Black

oh yes....
I will remember how very important it is to slow down,
recalibrate
and then put forth my energy into what I want to feed.

A simple equation:

feed it = it grows

Starve it = it dies

Feed what is good, what is going well

Starve negative thoughts

Feed your creativity

Starve those voices telling you what you can't do

Feed LOVE!

Starve FEAR!

Feed the beauty of the day!

Holding Light

For you...
lightness in the dark

Form Transforming

It is a beautiful thing to step back and watch an idea transform from a thought, an inspiration into something beautiful.

To realize the great potential we all have if we believe in our dreams, our hearts and our capabilities.

When something is right, it meets no resistance.

It grows and blossoms as a flower on a vine.

Today, I am truly grateful for the power of creativity and the gift of gratitude.

Pitter - Patter

Slowing down enough to hear the pitter-patter of my heart.
This is such a good thing.

Lost among the jewels

I am lost in lots of beautiful little jewels and projects at the moment.

I promise to return to share the lessons once I learn them.

Be liquid.

Magical Day

Today, I awoke knowing that it was my son's sixth birthday.

Full of mixed emotions, I helped get him ready for school and safely delivered him to kindergarten.

I had many moments of ..."six years ago, right now I was starting labor, six years ago right now, we called our midwife" and so on."

We ate scrambled eggs for breakfast as I did that morning. My wife made them for us as she did that morning and we only remembered as we sat at the "new" magical nook to eat them with our two, beautiful children that this had been my pre-birth breakfast.

A good friend said to me this morning, "congratulations, you've been a Mom for six years."

I hadn't thought about that part yet. What a blessed day. Look at how far we've come.

I am full of pride today and I vow to sit back and watch all of the magical moments that settle in upon us.

It is today especially that I realize what a big deal how you give birth is. The memory of that day hasn't faded at all for me. It was the most amazing day of my life and today I celebrate it for many, many reasons.
