Thank you!

I recently re-read my very first blog post. It was written on New Year's Day 2009. It was written to my extended family. Re-reading it brought tears to my eyes... I needed this space with all my heart. I am so proud of that girl back then who was brave enough to let go of something she had been clinging to all her married life in order embrace a gift that was waiting for her to accept... the gift of the now, the here, the us. What a huge difference that gift has made in our lives and I thank her from the bottom of my heart.

Here is a link to that first post.

Thank you to all of you who have shared this space with me. I had a small inkling back then of how powerful this sharing would be for me but I had no idea of the magnitude of the good we could all bring to each others lives. I have not felt 'alone' for a very long time.

Happy New Year to all of you. May 2012 be filled with love, laughter and lots of magic!

What a beautiful post! I've been a reader for awhile now and wanted to share with you how much I love your blog. And I also wanted to thank you for the wonderful things you make... my husband gifted me one of your felted acorn necklaces and an adorable little owl for Christmas this year. Ahhhhh.. so wonderful!!

Mom of two sunbursts of joy; K, my precious kitten, 7. I love her curly brown hair, the freedom of her imagination and her deep, sweet innocence. T is 4. He is my blond, blue-eyed bear. He makes me laugh. Wife to A Good Man. He is my love, my very best friend and the one who keeps me grounded (I tend to go off with the fairies now and then). I am consciously trying to be mindful of each and every moment; embrace life with love, laughter and learning and give freely knowing that what I have is considerable. Also, trying show my kids the beauty of nature in our concrete jungle; enter Waldorf, my newfound passion!
