She was calling me. Just had to go out for a quick walk by myself before it got dark. So grateful I did. My face about froze off, yet my heart overflows with warmth. xoxo

Thomas and I went for a walk this afternoon. The clouds and sun were incredibly mesmerizing. He and I still mourn the beautiful and majestic tree that stood where Thomas is standing. He’s imagining that it’s still there and he’s climbed it. Love nature and trees deeply.

Spotted while walking the cute Yonce yesterday (a wee little French bulldog I get to take for walks). Lots of love and angels floating around. xoxo

“The Space Within”
There is a space within
A space occupied, it was.
Occupied with judgment
Occupied with harshness
Occupied with unkind thoughts
towards others.
There is a space within
where the darkness
of judgment used to live.
Judgment lives
here no more.
Evicted.
It has been.
There is a space within.
A soft space of love
of compassion
of empathy
of understanding.
For a journey
of a thousand miles has
been lived with
the understanding
that each one of us
has traveled a similar journey.
To be sure …… Go here to read more …

Cold walk with Thomas yesterday afternoon. Brrr! Winter is not done sharing with us yet. The cold was too much for my phone and it died, so no more photos after these. No matter. Thomas and I shared beautiful moments together.

I am so incredibly grateful for the magic and mystery of life. The mind stands in a stunned state, while my heart and soul say, “Yes, this is the way it can always be.”
Immensely grateful that I am listening and writing. As during journal writing a few mornings ago, the words that came forth finally helped me to understand something that I have been confused about for years.
And once I started applying it, over the past few days …..
Simply magical and jaw dropping results. Hugely, hugely, hugely grateful to and for all of you, Mother Nature, writing, and Thomas and Lillian.

Amazing solo walk yesterday afternoon. Just WOW!!
I love the mystery of going for a walk and listening for that strong urge that whispers, “Take a picture now. Squat for this one. Kneel for this one. Lie down on the ground for this.” It’s so fun to see where it leads and the photos that are made. xoxo

Sunny, peaceful, feel-good walk with Lillian this afternoon. Sat for a while this time.

Solo walk this afternoon. As many times as I’ve taken this same walk, I still come across new rock love. Love, sweet love …

Virginia Foothills Park this afternoon to hit tennis balls and enjoy a short walk.
I’ve been incredibly grumpy today which has involved much unfiltered commentary and language. I’m incredibly blessed I can share with Thomas and Lillian that, frankly, there was much anger within me today. And, I can further apologize for my colorful language, letting them know I’m doing the best I can at processing it.
And … they give me the space and understanding I need. Blessed we three chose one another. xoxo ..
My “word of the day” on Friday was an F-word that wasn’t Friday!! There was much anger and bitterness within me. I knew why it was there, and also knew it was a conditioned response.
So I did my best to let myself stay with it and not push it away. The discomfort was there most of the day, yet by end of day had released some and yesterday morning had released fully. It was an amazing and magical day!!

Lillian and Camilla January 2018 Date Day –
First stop: We shared Parmesan sea salt fries and jalapeño cheddar bread. Dessert of Mexican wedding cookie for me and gingerbread bar for her. Here’s to 15 and a half years of once a month Date days!!
Second stop – One of our favorite parks and walking trails for throwing the frisbee and a beautiful, peaceful, and quiet walk. xoxo

Solo walk on this cloudy and cool morning.
This beauty caught my eye. Hanging out all alone while the other leaves are off playing in the distance.
On the one hand it displays beauty and confidence … and on the other, isolation and loneliness.
