spring into...

it has become quite clear to me, as of today, that i apparently am a spring cleaner...

with vim and vigor cupboards are being cleared, boxes are being labeled, there is some goodwilling happening and overall organizing which is creating peace and calm around these parts...anyone else feeling it?

there is a spring in my step...the air is a wee bit warmer and the sun is shining a tad differently...longer days are upon us and the dark shall not last quite as long come this weekend.

may the warm sun shine your way...

all you fine feathered folks.

rocking on...

Ok, the fog is lifting and the slump in which I was dwelling for the past couple weeks is moving behind me...with this shift, comes the pull and that exciting little way that my head gets full and I cannot write my ideas down soon enough...rocking on, buy that, I do mean literally...to represent strength, patience, gratitude, courage...just to name a few.

Soon to be revealed.

Have a warm weekend, wherever you may be.

Still Lily

concrete shoes...

i have not been here lately...and really, it makes me quite sad, however, sometimes when the head is heavy and the mind uninspired...well, it is sort of hard to come visit with high hopes and positive vibes. Lately, it feels as though I am walking in concrete shoes and a drooping creative soul...that means to say, not a whole lot of awe-like dabblings happening and sparks are far from flying as well...BUT, i do feel with confidence, that this is soon to change for the pull of tides and the rising of thoughts has simply born into some ideas of wonderful things soon to sprout and grow.

Things really do come around...patience is my mantra.

8 years wonderful...

8 years ago today at 2:11 p.m. our lives were changed, awakened, filled up, made brighter, I could go on and on with warm adjectives and still not convey the amazingness (a word I possibly just made up) of this little gal. Time does really go so very fast (as is repeatedly told to you when you become parents, and it really is true), here is to all this little gal has done and all she is to become...today we celebrate her (well, really she gets wee celebrations all week long!) and the wonder of her sweet presence or presents in our lives.

Happy Birthday Baby Girl.

more i learn...more i grow...

and i have been learning and growing this week...completely absorbed in this book...eyes wide open...with heart intent and soft breath.

you can learn more here

because, i don't know about you...but to me, the next best thing to sexy...is, afterall, crazy....or is that vica versa?

color love...

loving color and texture....

spring is in the air...

down by the sea...

so many things become clear...so many ideas come to light
when i can't figure out where i am headed...this is where i go to see what is right...

and then i take my time, stop, look with intent, listen with heart open, and somehow seem to be able to sense everything...
it is in these moments...the salt breeze brushing by, stirring my soul...waking me up...like i have never been here before...the raw nature of it all, grounds me.
and every little thing makes me stop and breathe...in a small moment, i embrace it all,

and it is

too big to hold, and then just right.
