coming to a close

/

I sit here in this moment
Reminiscing through memories of the past year
Moments created
Trips taken
Adventures right around the corner

There was growth
Wings spread
Flight
Soaring higher than I even imagined
I learned how to fly, all on my own

I am grateful for my photographs
They tell the tales of where I have been
What I have encountered
What I triumphed over
And what filled my heart with love

Moments with friends
Deep conversations
Brainstorming ideas
Love, light, laughter
Sitting by the fire, appreciating the beauty of the moment

Years seem to go by with the blink of an eye
The warm sun soothes my skin
And then before I know
The cold days of december rush in
Another year under my belt

Bidding farewell to a year is bittersweet
Happy for the time and the space to create
Grateful to have been here to witness it all
Sad it is coming to a close and a new year begins
A fresh start, a clean slate, a new chance to get it right

I am looking forward to 2013
Excited about new adventures
Getting my act together
Creating the life of my dreams, each and every day
And soaking in the beauty around me

What has moved you in 2012?
What are you looking forward to in 2013?
I would love to hear all about it.

Lucky
For the family I have
The laughter
The love
All of it swirling when we are together

Grateful
For the moments
Gathered around the table
Telling stories
Being with one another

Amazed
At the strength
The beauty
The wisdom
That is in each of us

Looking forward to
More time together
Laughing until I cry
Memories created
Love swirling

Wishing each of you a very happy holiday season and a beautiful end to this year
Lets dive into 2013 with our hearts open and love spilling out

In this very moment
Reach out to someone you love
Let them know how much they mean to you
Hold there hand
Give them a hug
Be right there with them
Soak each other in

Know that you are deeply loved
The world needs to see your sparkle and your shine
You provide light to everyone around you
You are a guide for others
You are needed here in this world
And you matter
You are beautiful

Believe in yourself
Believe in who you are
Know that you possess the power to make positive change
You bring smiles to peoples faces
And laughter deep into others hearts
You showing up each day
Is important, so very important

Celebrate each other
Give thanks
High fives
Show gratitude
Laugh
Have fun
Enjoy this extremely precious life



Love Notes Special Request

/

My heart goes out to all of those affected by the terrible tragedy that occurred in Newtown Connecticut.   I have not seen any news coverage of the event.  I have not wanted to.  Just hearing what happened was heartbreak enough.  It is terrible that a place we think our children are safe turned into a nightmare of terrors.

In moments like this we want to do something.  Reach out.  Help in any way we can.  And although there is nothing we can do to bring back the innocent lives that were lost we can reach out and let others know that they are not alone.  Let them know that we are standing along side them in their heartbreak.

Love Notes is about sharing words of Love through the mail.  And in a tragic time like this those words are needed.

The United States Postal Service has set up a Post Office Box for the public to send its condolences to Newtown.  If you feel inclined to share some Love I know the town would appreciate it.

You can send your cards and letters to

P.O. Box 3700

Newtown, CT 06470
