I’m not really one for making New Year’s resolutions. This year of 2008 will just be another one, in a long line of moment to moment discoveries, growth spurts and inner explorations, in all realms and sense of the words.

Hoping that 2008 blesses you with playful joy, surreal happiness, and the love of family and friends. And to my blog family, I thank you for your interest, dedication and enthusiasm over the past few years as I happily document my whims, fancies and life stories. Many blessings to yoU!

It’s the story about the hefty price tag that accompanies the lives we lead (whether it be during the Christmas holidays where our…
Just settling back into the swing of things and the normalacy of life today. Slade and I completed an incredible and intense 60 hour, 6 day yoga teacher training course yesterday, through Trinity Yoga.. Our Level 1 — the first of 3.
