Holy leaves, Batman!

We had our first real storm of the season last nigh and WOW, the leaves on our street are off-the-hook.

Thank you, Elvis

This week in California is hard. The air is terrible. The loss of lives and property is devastating. I am intentionally looking for the beautiful stories that are rising from the ashes. The stories of heroism and generosity. I am waiting to hear the plan so we can prevent this from happening again. I am hopeful and heartbroken, but you can choose to be both.

Practice gratitude

While moving through change or hard times it is SO IMPORTANT to practice gratitude. It is not easy, but practicing every single day helps. There is ALWAYS something to be grateful for.

Hearts are finding me

I have been receiving signs of love! I found a heart-shaped rock on Erik's birthday and recently in Tahoe, I looked down and saw a heart-shaped bit of snow.

I'm calling a LOVE in for February

Hurrah for February 1st. The sun is shining in Sacramento today which I am taking as a good sign for the entire month. I am not sad to let January go. I was hoping for an easier, healthier and happier first month of 2018 and I found it to be really hard. I know I am not alone. I have heard from several family and friends that this winter has really kicked a lot of people in the teeth. I am done with the YUCK. I'm talking about sickness, stress, anxiety, pain, financial hardship, bad decisions, lack of motivation, depression and more. I AM TELLING YOU that this month is POWERED by LOVE!

GrATEful

I want to EAT up all the tiny moments that make each day so beautiful. I want to pause and stop myself from complaining when I have SO MUCH joy to celebrate. I want to remember Casey's amazing hair in the morning and Erik's sleepy eyes. I want to enjoy the frantic kisses that Dottie gives me when she is let out of her enclosure. I want to appreciate how slow Curly walks giving me time to greet my neighbors. I don't want to take for granted the coffee that is placed by my bedside every morning from sweet Pedar. I want to look around and be grateful for every project we've finished in our fixer-upper. I don't want to dread going to work, I will choose to be excited about the opportunities and challenges it provides to help me grow in my skills and communication.
