Thomas wanted to go for a walk yesterday before heading to the airport. We didn’t have time for a full walk around, so instead we walked to the lake and stood for a few minutes. Such dramatic clouds and sky lately. Incredibly beautiful.

Sunset walk with Lillian. Such a celebrity. We passed a couple who have bought and read her book (one of them a special education teacher) and another person who has seen her on TV. I love connecting with others. Love is beautiful. Love is magical. xoxo

What a surprise to receive a message from Lillian’s teacher from 2014! She heard about Lillian’s book.

So, we got to add Westfield, Indiana to the Google pin map today! Lillian wrote some of the stories while in Mrs. Brigitte’s class at High Desert Montessori. So fun!!

First Quilt Piece Collected

Camilla Jumping Washoe Lake April 2016

I did it! I just “collected” the first quilt piece for the story. I’ve been resisting doing this … sitting down to write and just randomly picking a memory to write about. It was uncomfortable, but once I got going I didn’t want to stop.

This was a memory from 16 year old Camilla and a time she lived in Terry, Mississippi in what she called the Crazy House! Who remembers that crazy lopsided mess of a house?

The idea is just to get memories and events down on paper and at some point start piecing them together. I won’t bore everyone with a post every time I do this; yet, I was excited for FINALLY starting!!

And … I just remembered something. I had made it my intention and vow to begin writing by the end of this month. HA!! Did it! If you have no idea what I’m talking about, here’s a previous post from a few days ago … https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10156428080041584&set=a.52927246583.79053.681171583&type=3&theater

Book Musings: Silence

Silence – The Power of Quiet in a World Full of Noise

I get incredibly much from all of Thich Nhat Hanh’s books. Of all I’ve read, they carry the similar thread of mindfulness and experiencing silence.

I really enjoy the stories he shares throughout this book and all of his books. Reading this now is what reminded me of the concept of mindful walking and breathing that he puts forth … taking one step for each in breath and one step for each out breath.

After being reminded of it in this book, I incorporated it into my walks. Here’s the post I made about that …. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10156408782591584&set=rpd.681171583&type=3&theater

Loved this book!!
