Sunset Walk and Slow Down and Uncovering Life’s Truths
September 27 2016:
Sunset walk with Thomas and Lillian last night …. Which held a message I am moved to share.
At the Round Dance Thomas and I participated in on Sunday, we listened to the story of what the grandmas have to teach. Slow down and walk with them. It’s not often that the younger ones do slow down and walk with them. (Very condensed version)
I tied this in with how slowly Lillian walks. I have to consciously make myself slow down to her pace … And many times I find myself way ahead of her, having sped up again.
Last night I set an intention of walking at her pace. I stayed even with her almost the entire walk. Need to do that more often!
Slow down ….. Notice things usually gone unnoticed. Slow down. Notice who or what you may have left behind. Let go of the “things to do” …. For just a little while. xoxo

After dinner walk with Thomas tonight. As we were driving home on Sunday from the Round Dance gathering, he looked over at me and said, “I love you.”
He had such a meaningful experience and I’m so happy I took him with me. Blessed that we take these walks and uncover life’s truths together.

I have no idea why this is sideways. Could have sworn I was holding it in a way to prevent this! Sorry! Thomas answers a question from a friend about sunrise and sunset …. xoxo
Still in Togetherness

“Just as my internal world seems a marsh of confusion and brokenness at times,
I see clearly you experience and mirror the same.
Let’s be still in togetherness as the marsh clears and rejoice in the tenderness of life.” ~Camilla Downs

I’ve not seen the cormorants and egrets like this before. The cormorants seemed frisky and playful on my morning walk!! Hope you can see it!

Taking Pictures and Jumping and Eating Grapes and Walking in the Rain
September 13 2016:
This opened my heart. So blessed and loved that we went for our after dinner walk in this spot and at this time.
All 3 of us took tons of pictures, had a ball jumping on the hill for pictures, eating grapes straight from the vine, and ended by walking in pouring down rain and strong wind!! Check out the moon on a stick!!
Thomas said he wouldn’t have wanted to be anywhere else. Now we are going to bake a chocolate cake and make cream cheese frosting for Lillian’s birthday cake tomorrow. We may just eat a piece tonight!
Peaceful and Quiet and Birdsongs

Lillian and I found a really cool spot to sit Tuesday night on our walk. So peaceful and quiet. I just love going for walks with her, soaking it in, and taking pictures to capture the view. xoxo
