flowers in february

matt and I don't celebrate valentines day. it's sort of absurd to think minnesotans should even get flowers in february. but IF i lived in san fransisco, and IF we weren't flat broke, and IF we even celebrated valentine's day, I would want one of each of these bouquets!

wow!

my birthday cake

thanks anne!

i so solemnly swear

each year i vow to be a better human being. i make resolutions to be more patient, loving, compassionate, kind. but this year i swear it will be different. "a whole new you at 32" i declared yesterday in the car with 3 girlfriends and god as my witnesses. but then i corrected myself. it's not me that needs to change--it's my PERCEPTION of things, my life, myself.

"a whole new view at 32." i really mean it. i am BUSTING through old patterns, old beliefs, old assumptions. i am BUSTING through my old views big time.


this is my year to:


pray
meditate
slow down
be patient
practice yoga
breathe
feel
bow
smile
let go
exercise
create
relax
be aware
sing
serve
envision

forgive
listen
learn
expand
include
dream
celebrate
love
share
walk softly
cry
radiate
simplify
surrender
trust
forgive some more
receive
cultivate contentment
lighten up


evolve.......
