"tHANKFUL bLESSINGS" 

These past few weeks have been a blessing. I am so thankful to have so much love and support.

Sometimes I feel as though we don't stop to smell the proverbial roses enough, Thanksgiving is always a great reminder. To live in gratitude all year. 
We had a smaller event this year, but it was welcomed. Just our immediate family of ten. lol. Too much food, too many giggles, always a plate full of love. My husband, Mother, children and couple extra kiddos and friend Bob were warm and had full bellies, that's all anyone can ask for. Hands down this is always my favorite holiday. I am thankful daily for my better half, the man that eases my life, and I his. I am thankful for my amazing mother who chooses family time and again, (without credit mind you).
The Salon and all our valued guests have been an exuberant bunch. I feel so 
blessed to have each and every person there be part of my family, (blood or not). 

My beautiful daughter will be eighteen in a week, a milestone that she is contemplating. A young woman deciding the path she will take. I think I may be more nervous than she is. I am thankful all the same. My middle son is charting the waters of  teenage obscurity, mapping out relationships, and  trying on hats of who he will become. I don't envy his age--fifteen--is not an age I want to revisit. What am I saying this is my last incarnation here. Ha.
My littlest will be double-digits, if anyone out there has kids they know how important this is to a little one. My first child is always the hardest because it's a new experience. My middle is a little easier the second time around. My youngest always leaves me melancholy; the last time.

I am in awe that the holidays are upon us...
This year has been a whirl-wind. The energy is definitely shifting.  
2014 a hopeful year of abundance, not to say 2013 wasn't, but I can feel it's going to be note worthy, or blog worthy. However you want to spin it.
Chapters come to a close. Though, I am excited about the chapters ahead of me. Speaking of chapters and books...
My second book "Satires" will be finished in the new year. 
My first book: The Grail Court, was published on November 20th, 2013. The day Sylvia Browne left us. 
        "Let love light the lamp to your soul.""--Sylvia Browne--  
Love and light to you.
My book will be in print in the next few weeks, after it is reformatted and edited for the traditional book form. New beginnings and fun adventures are on the horizon.

Happy Thanksgiving
Ever thoughtful, never endings.

"fOR tHE lOVE oF sOMETHING"



Ten million miles away,

   I dream...

When my mind won't stop thinking, I quiet my soul.

   Just breathe...

In the wee hours of the morning I reflect on who I am. Who I eternally wish to be.

   I have no regrets...

I live every day to the fullest, and strive to leave this world a little better than I found it.

   I could make more money...
   I could be ruthless...
   I could choose myself over others...
   I could live in pity...
   I could believe in a world where personal gain rules the day...
   I could blame others for my lot in life...
   I could cry, and bury myself in self doubt.
   I could let others change me...

But as I've always believed I am the creator of my own reality.

I choose to create small ripples in the pond. Hoping someday they will be giant waves.

I give everyone the benefit of the doubt. Even if the writing is on the wall.

I have hope for humanity as a whole.

We are all on our own path.

Sometimes I have to coach people onward. I always have the best intentions at heart.

We all belong somewhere.

At daylight when the morning birds chirp,
   I choose to love...
   I choose to be happy...
   I choose smile at every soul I come in contact with...
   I choose to be my best self...
   I choose to love every aspect of my job...
                    My life...
And I feel grateful to be part of  the world.

Ever thoughtful, never endings....
