Thomas and I did our walk different today. Hit tennis balls, then sat in the shade for yummy sour dough bread and grapes. Then a walk around the soccer field. xoxo

Team TLC walk at Wilbur May Arboretum today. Being outdoors with these two is like a healing ointment that soothes the sore spots.

There was some heavy duty rubbing of one another’s thorns just before heading out for our walk. Nature is wonderful at bringing everyone back to center.

Windy and Cold and Frisbee and Really Long Walk and Laughing and Talking and Complete Silence

March 26 2017:

Windy and cold, cold, cold sunset walk with Lillian yesterday.

She has random aches and pains. Her knee started aching and I told her we could head back if she needed. Her response, “No, I’m not gonna let this knee stop me.” xoxo

March 10 2017:

It’s been an intense five weeks. Five weeks of swimming into the depths of my own darkness and shadows. What a wild and crazy ride. The curtain has lifted and the stage is set for the shift ….

From our walk this afternoon. I am so grateful for these two kids who have held space for me. And for always being incredibly patient with my picture taking.

Throwing mud rucks into the puddle
Shadow fun

This was so good and yummy for all three of us. To be asked, “Can we stay out longer?” ….. sweet music to the soul.
