My friend has the most delightfully white, sunny, and pristine apartment. Spending my Sunday afternoon in her sacred space (with delicious snacks and both Steel Magnolias and Beaches -- holy heaven) was such a treat this weekend. There is legitimately no other reason for this post than to tell you I am super jealous of her home and wish I could get my act together enough to replicate it. She has a lovely eye for design and inspires me to simplify, simplify, simplify! Clutter = the enemy. There is so much breathing room here, both physically and mentally, which is certainly something everyone should consider cultivating in every home. You *know* I am coveting that giant, sparkly geode on the coffee table, too. Oh, and she has a phenomenal view of one of SF's many parks, which are newly green and fresh from all of the glorious rain we've been getting. I should have taken more photos for you to drool over. Basically, Le sigh:    "We shake with joy, we shake with grief.  I'm a little cold, and this photo is warming me up. Jersey shore at its absolute best helps me de-chill my bones while I stare outside at rain. Anyone else craving a toes-in-sunkissed-sand kinda day?
"Putting love first means knowing that the universe supports you in creating the good, the holy, the beautiful. It means knowing that you're on this earth for a purpose, and that the purpose itself will create opportunities for its accomplishment." Good food (and drinks), good (four legged + furry) friends, and lots of family. Pretty much sums up this year's trip home for the holidays. The east coast was more than generous to us, once again! We are truly so lucky. A few snaps of the fun, snuggles, and eats...
 
        
In Gratitude, Trish What do you think about one of our first tasks of 2106 involving the generous act of forgiving little ol' me for taking an extra couple of days to announce the winner of my Run Across Haiti fundraising giveaway? Great. Y'all are the best, and I appreciate it. I definitely think this helps us each to start off on a better foot. (...also, oops. so sorry. holiday travel time is not my most productive...) With a little random name grabbing help from B, the lucky winner is... Ms. Honey T!! Your goodies will be shipped within a few days, snail mail style :) Thank you, thank you, thank you to every person who donated. This trip means more to me than I have the proper words for explaining right now, but please know that my heart is so ready to be cracked open by the beautiful people I am going to meet. Your support, specifically in this way, helps to ease my mind and simply allow for the lessons, love, light, and new perspectives to come in. Like Dorothy in the last episode of GG (which I can only watch maybe once per year because I cry all over again and poor B can barely keep up with me and my emotions as it is), I feel very strongly about your helping to grant me new wings, meant for grand adventures, in 2016.  In Gratitude, Trish |
