Lillian and Camilla July 2019 Date Day
First stop – Fries and a lemon cheesecake cookie for Lillian. Crispy cauliflower and a vegan cinnamon sugar donut for me.
Second stop – She likes throw pillows. So, a bit of fun looking at pillows … and other cool stuff. Love this hanging chair. Oh my gosh. I could have stayed there for a while. 💙💙💙
Last stop – A beautiful sunset walk. Ahhhhh …. It’s great to be home!

Today was library volunteer day. Lillian and I couldn’t resist the lil garden behind the library. Wonderful, untouched, soft, fluffy snow! Along with a beautiful blue sky and gorgeous trees. That and some deep belly laughs = Ahhhhhh!!!

Love the way the trees frame the sun … from a walk yesterday.

… from the hour long walk yesterday. It was perfect timing to have this walk, then write about walking, and what it means for me.
Since the first week of January I’ve submitted seven writings of either a trio of poems or an essay style writing. We shall see if any are accepted or chosen. If not chosen, at least I’m creating new material for my blog and next book!

Tough, yet beautiful 5 mile walk yesterday. It’s quite the workout walking in wet, slushy snow. The amazing sky and beauty were worth it. ❄️💙

On a walk Thursday .. I was trying to capture the dancing diamonds the sun was creating in the water. This photo absolutely did not capture it. So incredibly beautiful and mesmerizing. I stopped and watched the show for a bit. 💎💛💙

Finally got to have the extra long walk today … after 2 weeks! I was blessed to see this beautiful family of wild horses hanging at the park. They were there when I began the walk and still there an hour later when I finished. Plus, beautiful wispy clouds. 💙💙💙

Thomas and I visited one of our favorite parks yesterday afternoon to hit tennis balls ….. Except …… Thomas put his racket down right before leaving so we arrived with one racket! Oh well … We made the best of it and had fun anyway! xoxo

Windy afternoon walk with amazing clouds. Plus, the white blooms have arrived! Nature’s art is truly breathtaking!
Joy, Oh What a Feeling
You effortlessly glide my way
Gently wrapping your wings of love
around me as I become dizzy with
your tingling embrace.
Joy says, “Write about me too!”
I am as important to feel
and be with as are the
unlovely feelings and emotions.
Feel me, physically feel me
Let yourself know that
you are worthy of the lovely
feelings too.
Feel me. Try not to cling
to me. I shall always …. Visit the below link to read further …

I delight in the sparkling
and unique snow flakes

Discovered some love on a quick walk this morning. Then, when I got back home, rainbow peace greeted me! xoxo

Solo walk earlier today for me. I stood next to this wonderful tree for a few minutes just soaking it in. It was a walk overflowing with knowing, noticing, and feeling natures abundance. xoxo

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.
February 13 2018:
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
