Joy Pockets and a Moment

It's been quite the cathartic week this week. Going within and exposing unhealthy thinking may not be the most "fun" thing to do, but it's invaluable, and ultimately necessary if we want to claim peace. Thanks for all your kind words regarding "Ego's grip". Balance is a beautiful thing, but being unbalanced and walking with woe for awhile, is just as important :).

Joy Pockets with Monica today

piping hot chocolate in Santa mugs

crispy 50 degree mornings

precious alone time with the boy,
who wanted to spend it

(drip...drip... I oozed from a melting heart)

and This Moment with Amanda

I hope you have a beautiful weekend friends!!

    aw, sweet kiddo.

    yep, the unbalanced are so uncomfortable, but how would we know a state of balance without them. ;)

    ooh, you went with the owl. :)

  5. loving your pictures. so perfect. looks like the winters we get here on the coast of ca... not wintry at all but we try to make it what we can. still bundling, still drinking cocoa, still warming by the fire when it's all of 65 degrees outside :)

  17. I wish I had a Santa mug. I think hot cocoa must taste so much more heavenly in one. I'm really excited about the Solstice and having my own personal releasing ceremony.

    Your boy...omg, how sweet is he?!?!

  20. beautiful- love the boys in trees! (of course) Not even surprised that your boy chose to shop for his little sister - he has love and respect & putting others first modeled for him on a regular basis :)
