The Manifesto of Encouragement (comments too).
Grazing with my herd. Listening. Opening. Connecting eye to eye, hand to hand, life to life. Getting out of Self for a time. Being tended to. Belly laughter. Belonging.
Exploring a new (to me) stretch of the Spokane River with Silas.
The shifting sands of grief, love and gratitude. Allowing myself to be exactly where I am.
Library books. Acceptance. Photographs of Lucy. LOVE.

Carla dear - so good to hear the present tense experience of your life. Contentment, appreciation, openness and contemplation. Yes our lives are packed and filled with exquisite delight and incredible anguish as we Wake Up. I just finished listening to John O'Donohue's book BEAUTY on tape.
His voice is so soothing. Think about treating yourself to this gift.
I love YOU.

Carla you are living in the Powerful Now. It is so filled with exquisite delight and anguish. I just finished listening to John O 'Donohue's book BEAUTY on tape. His Irish lilting voice and poetic phrases might be a treat for your soul. Think about this gift to your sweet self. Know I am with you.
