Sacred Life Sunday: Life Is Full of Itself

Lately my life has welcomed and experienced (some grudgingly) . . .

Sisters of the heart and soul. Laughter. The ocean. Rain. Sandy feet. Salt water taffy. Flirting. My sweet dogs. Candles. Questions. Listening. The SUN! The Tudors. Prayer. Expectations and disappointment. Tenderness. Fear. A friend's death. Mystery. Daffodils. Community. Yahtzee. Long roadtrips with David Sedaris and Anne Lamott books on tape. Courage. Forgiveness. Grace (thank you, Mike). Dog farts. Lust. Faith.

I'm so grateful for this post! Over time I have seen you gather yourself and your courage, your treasures and strengths, all the things and people and critter connections that have helped bring you forward on your journey. It has unfolded with unerring elegance and unabashed fearlessness at zenamusings. There are many sisters of the heart that come here to drink from the sweetness and the refreshment of the wisdom you have so freely offered, and give back support and encouragement. Thanks for your willingness...It matters a lot!

I couldn't agree with Kathryn more Carla. You have given quite a lot while on your own path (by illuminating the beauty in life for all of us). And what a Gorgeous photo! May all the seeds you've planted and nourished in your life start to sprout and grow!

Carla - you are truly a beautiful woman - your journey is awe inspiring - continue to act with courage and integrity - You are not alone - I love and encourage your full flowering - Cathy

Well, at least I got mentioned *before* dog farts. ;)

I feel odd even accepting that thank you; there's at least as more personal reward in forgiving, as being forgiven.

So, thank *you*.

And by the way, this is possibly the best picture of you, yet.

Carla,

You look absolutely gorgeous here. I love your list. I love how you dig in and experience it all!

Hi Carla,

I have never posted a message to you before but I have been quietly visiting for many months now. I just wanted to tell you how incredible I think you are...you are so genuine and strong, and beautiful. You are not afraid to show the world who you really are, and it inspires me to do the same in my own new bloggy space.
Much love to you

Carla, I love what you are doing with the Sacred Life Sunday movement. I joined last Sunday but am not sure that my info found its way to you. I am a teacher by day and a mixed media/reclaimed jewellery artist by night. I am currently trying to create more balance in my life and stopping to smell my roses each Sunday is such a beautiful way to start. You can find me at my blog which is www.dieadjustormigrate.typepad.com Thanks a million.
