Leafy Pizza

On the Road Again.....loving the gypsy mode....

There are times when I have no idea what comes next and it's the thing I've come to love most about being alive: leaning in to hear the invitation of each day and feeling my whole body melt when I say yes, yes, yes. Invitation of the Day

Leafy Pizza...this is a giraffe bringing a hostess gift of juicy leaf pizza because he is tired of there never being anything he can eat at these functions.  ...OMG...YES...SO TRUE!!  :-D

Helping Friends and Family understand the whole-foods, starch-based McDougall Diet.....

Do you know your dosha(s)??  You can take Prakriti and Vikriti tests......

No big surprise for me!!  The 5 Love Languages.....
a=5--words of affection
b=7--quality of time
c=1--gifts
d=8--acts of service
e=9--physical touch

Community...Rich Roll & Julie Piatt

An intentional family unit...wishing like-minded, loving, complimentary folks to surround and enrich each of your lives.  St. Vincent...an enjoyable and inspiring movie.

“I had to learn to live without you and I couldn't make sense of it, because I left so much of me inside of you.
It’s funny, for all it took was a broken heart and that alone was enough, enough for her to do everything she ever dreamed of.”
― robert m drake

...and mon cher...remembering Valentine's Days from years past...dancing...many thanks for the gift...Dancing at the Harvest Moon...and 11 hours of beautiful sounds for your yogic self!!

For our Daughters--Happy 2015

Lifetime: We're here to end it I said, & she said. No, we're here to begin it & then she turned & opened her arms, & everywhere I could see there were people, like bright birds calling with a thousand voices & suddenly I understood. Here is where it begins with all of us. Together giving our daughters a world worth loving for a lifetime to come.

Learning to Love: I see you walking slowly through the world, learning to love everything again for the first time & I want to hold you and say exactly the words you need to hear, because I have been there, too & I know the courage it takes to go on when your every breath aches.

Love not infatuation....I did not demand that he become my Great Emancipator or my Source of All Life, nor did I immediately vanish into that man's chest cavity like a twisted, unrecognizable, parasitical homunculus. During our long period of courtship, I remained intact within my own personality, and I allowed myself to meet Felipe for who he was...I have figured out that he cannot complete me, even if he wanted to...I can actually tell now where I end and where somebody else begins.  Elizabeth Gilbert...Committed

...and here we go...On the road again...Bob Seger

Ma Grande

Happy Birthday Ma Grande.....1985!!  We sat at the edge of the world & you asked me why & though a thousand things came to mind, underneath them all a quiet voice was saying because you remind me of everything in this world to love....the reason why....

She said she usually cried at least once a day not because she was sad, but because the world was so beautiful and life was so short....bittersweet....

First Snow

How do you know? she said & the answers fell like feathers, or the first snowflakes of November, light and without words. I looked in her eyes and smiled. You just know, I said. Intuition
