Thomas has been having a ball with all the snow and ice at school. He’s opened up shop on the playground, making ice sculptures and selling them for more ice. They were also making snow cakes with ice frosting! Our imaginations are so amazing and magical! Love, love, love … xoxo

You know you’ve been subbing a lot at a school when one of the students asks to take your picture for the yearbook. And, what great timing as I had just come in from an hour of P.E. out in this crazy wind. Wahoo!!

Lots of releasing and healing while I’m creating the blog post asking for your help with a miracle. I’m creating the video to accompany it today. I plan to post everything sometime tomorrow. As I’m doing this, the past 3 mornings Thomas has spent his extra morning time cleaning and purging in his room … without me asking. That little person inspires me so much my heart overflows with love … Sending some out to y’all this morning! xoxo

Waiting, waiting, waiting. My days of driving Thomas to appointments and waiting in the car are nearing an end. 🎉🎉🎉Thomas has mostly taken over, but this appointment is downtown with weird parking. Thomas isn’t comfortable with it yet.

New shoes just arrived. Had to go for a walk to test them. Love, love, love them! 💝💝💝

It’s an absolutely wonderful day! There’s good and abundant stuff happening all around us!

May you see the goodness, kindness, abundance and angels surrounding you today …. and always … xoxo

My beautiful step-sister, Heather, is down from Washington visiting …. Authentic Italian dinner at The Romano Casa …. !!!!

One Lillian bath down, one observation of a private special education school classroom (including being greeted with an ear piercing scream by a young man having a melt down), one brief meeting to collect a donated iPhone (thanks Natalie Gorden – YOU ROCK!!!), one interview and observation of a family with a son with special needs, two grocery store stops, one pizza pick up, ST, OT and PT for Lillian, one Thomas pick up and a partridge in a pear tree . . . now THAT’s an Adventure! Whew!

Throwback Post: Perfect Cup of Coffee and a Soft Fuzzy Blanket of Peace

Posted on by

**THROWBACK POST**

December 14 2015:

Sitting with the most perfect cup of coffee knowing we don’t have to go anywhere and drinking in this peaceful view with each sip of coffee … I think, “Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.”

Thomas asked last night why it’s so quiet when it snows. I say each snowflake is created with Silence and Peace. When all the snowflakes come together they create a soft, fluffy blanket of Peaceful Silence. Wherever you are today, may you take a moment to Injoy a moment of peaceful silence and may you feel the love in my heart as you read this. xoxo

Finally Did It – Naturally Framed Tree Photo

April 6 2023

I finally had time to pick up the birthday gift from my dad. Some of you may remember this photo I made on a walk in 2020. I had been wanting to do something with it. Nailed it! Thanks to Pixels & Ink for helping me decide what would look best. 💙💚💙

This is the way I took the photo. It’s not framed. It is enlarged and mounted on foam board ready for hanging.

It’s hung! Per multiple requests, stay tuned for cards with this image.
