Pinch me...

...I must be dreaming.

How did this beautiful light find me?

I was hoping he would...and it's better than I could have ever imagined. As much as I love words and quotes, I'm speechless to describe his effect on me. All I can accurately formulate in my mind that's echoing in my heart is thank you...

Thank you for this delicious soul that appears to recognize mine...that sends me notebooks to write down beautiful words and music that is sacred to my soul. That has a voice like a sunny afternoon. I'm in the middle of a dream come true. And I think the longer one waits for something to manifest...the less likely that they'll ever take it for granted....at least that's my deep hope....

thank you, thank you, thank you

Ring, ring, ring...

Am delighting in his daily phone calls. I mean - seriously - they're a little bit of heaven. right. here. on. earth.

Beautiful work...

Was that you that painted your favorite indigo blue

Take a peak at the work of Mary Anne Radmacher. Her words and illustrations thrill me! The above piece is one of my favorites. I discovered her work when I lived in Salem, Oregon at a delightful shop called "word garden".

Am reading a book of hers called Lean Forward Into Your Life: begin each day as if it's on purpose.

It's a great book - to read and re-read. Find out more about Mary Anne here.

Birthday eve...

Oregon Coastline, 2007

Where did my twenties go?!

On this, my last day to be 29, I say "Bravo" to myself - and the last delightful decade...

Daring

I've often heard people use the phrase "daring to dream". Today, I know what they mean. It can take courage to dream. To open your heart and let it say, "Wouldn't it be great if..." Full of juicy specifics...and bold requests. It takes some gumption to open yourself to the beautiful possibilities...knowing they may not come when you want, in the way you want. You may still be left waiting.

But today, I take the pleasure of imagining - of wondering -could it be time? Could it possibly be time?

I hope so. I sit on my couch and love the sunshine and wonder.
