Whispers...

"There are always two voices sounding in our ears: the voice of fear and the voice of confidence. One is the clamor of the senses, the other is the whispering of the higher self." ~ Charles B. Newcomb

Psst - listen to the whispers :-)

"I love it here in the barn," said Wilbur. "I love everything about this place."

I agree Wilbur.

The Countdown Begins


I wanted to start this 6 days ago but since I'm blogging without obligation and its all good, I'll just start today on day 34 with 6 of the 39 things I love about my life. You see, the number 39 is not randomly chosen. I only have 34 days left to claim this number as my own. While you hear all the time, "...age is just a number, it's really about how young you feel". I feel really young but still want the number to start with a 3!

Number 39 - I've lived 39 years
Number 38 - Opportunities are limitless
Number 37 - A pool at my disposal
Number 36 - Time is on my side
Number 35 - Beauty is everywhere
Number 34 - Spectacular free recipes on the internet

Tune in tomorrow for Number 33.

One Of My Favorite Things

A little doggie butt would be it! There is nothing better than a dog in front of you, cool morning air all around, sweatpants & sweatshirts, peace & quiet, in a beautiful nature setting. This is one of my favorite ways to start off the day. Now on to my second - breakfast.

I'm ready!

I feel like I'm going back to school tomorrow. Mind you, I haven't gone back to school in many, many years. My clock has always lined up with the school calendar. I remember my first year after college - the first summer I had a "real job". It was so difficult to be inside, sitting at a desk. I wondered everyday how people did this. Why don't we all have summer vacations as adults? In fact, now that I don't have a "real job", I do take it a little easier in the summertime.

Now, as summer draws to a close, I feel that urge to buy new clothes, new "school supplies", figure out what time I have to get up tomorrow to make it on time. This time of year is always very inspiring for me. It is not only the end of summer, it is the beginning of something new. It is the time when my mind and senses kick into high gear. I feel alive and ready to go. I want a new project, a new yoga class to teach, a new book to read. Let me have it all - open that gate, I'm ready!
