BOLINAS MORNING WALK

It's a blessing, both, to have a boyfriend I love, and dog sit in Bolinas a motley trio of rescue pups that where slated for the needle.
Tilly, may she RIP, left a month ago per old age and now the three left are without the alpha girl which makes them ungrounded, insecure and crazed.
Wonder if thats true for us humans too...a little?

Yeah.
Well, it was such a relief for me that Tom braved the long drive late at night, knowing that he had to leave to go back to the east bay for meetings early in the day...so we took a morning walk, to greet the sky, the moist green green earth and the pacific ocean.
Later in the evening, I made a new batch of "Golden Dawn", this time with amber and patchouly notes and Gayatri meditation oil and a mix of coconut, cocoa bean and shae nut butter...lanolin too. All organic ingredients, super good smelling and mollifying for my skin. The best stuff to keep a beautiful relaxed face.

CELEBRATING FULL MOON IN BOLINAS

Our friend Vicky has me take care of her dogs while she is getting body care herself... coinciding with a full moon oceanside in Bolinas, Dawn's birthplace, just a few days before her birthday.

A gift of the gods, again.

When great things like this happen, I don't ask myself, what did I do?

I just feel in the flow and grateful for having a clean and sober life with my boyfriend and growing family.

My prayers go out to Vicky, my family and for the flow of abundance in our lives. 

Tonight is full moon and I look forward to a walk on the beach lit of by the pearlescent rays of luna herself.

Yummmm...

MY MIND

Love Martha Beck's quote today: "You are never required to do more than you can do in peace. Right now, take a breath, return to peace, and refuse to leave."

Since I have stepped on the clean and sober path of serenity, courage and wisdom, all the hurts and scars I habitually washed away with alcohol and codependent relationships are itching and wanting to be noticed and somehow dealt with. Which is what I am learning to do with the help of family, friends and fellowship.

In my dream last night, a voice said: " Just go to your friends in high places for help."
I immediately thought of my spiritual teacher Gurumayi and in my dream set out to see her...slowly waking up to find myself smiling at the many options I do have to take a deep breath, know that everything that needs to be done can be done, and done elegantly with grace.

love in unexpected places

So, this very 'busy' pivotal weekend, I remember to breathe deeply, smile and include myself in the wonderful world of family and friends and fellowship. Asking for help as needed and offering peace as collateral.

How will I remember?
I have a rose quartz heart my boyfriend gave me last week in my pocket as a healing token and physical reminder.

I also ask you to pray for me.

MY PHOTOGRAPHY

My photography makes me happy!
It also gives to the people I love.
History is being made as I capture the moment and post it in the right place at the right time.
Co creating community & culture one day at the time.
