a frosted misty morning…

February 6th, 2012

This is what I saw from my window a few days ago…I could not help but grab my camera and capture the calm and quiet morning…so peaceful and still. I tend to lose track of time doing things like this…

As we are well into the new year I wanted to share the phrase I chose as my guiding beacon for the upcoming months. Last year I chose the word restoration and it was a year full of change and momentum. It was quite a challenging year as well, but restoration certainly did take place, in mind, body, home and spirit. This year I wanted to continue with a similar thought, but somewhat less aggressively. After much consideration this years phrase is…

refinement through gratitude…

There are many areas within my life that I would like to see refinement, not in the ‘elegant, fine bone china tea cup’ kind of way, but a ‘clerifying, purging, purifying’ kind of way. I also want to be much more mindful again in my gratitude, being thankful for the small as well as the not so small happenings.

Like the beauty of this frosted misty morning…a little later the sun began to peek through and everything seemed to glow.

Do you like to chose a word or phase to see you through the new year? What other traditions do you like to carry on from year to year that helps you move toward the life you see as your most complete? Take care…

macy’s flower show

March 31st, 2011

Spring has officially been with us for twelve days now and although temperatures are not below zero anymore in my part of the world; it is still not very warm outside. We have rather a lot of snow on the ground and the trees have yet to start budding.

This made it all the more enjoyable visiting Macy’s eighth floor for their annual flower show with gardens beautifully created by Bachman’s. The theme this year is ‘Towers of Flowers’ and the show runs until the 10th of April. Admission is complimentary, so what a great way to find some inspiration…

It was so uplifting to be surrounded by so many beautiful fragrant blooms. The stunning color combinations and variety of plants is always so captivating to look at. I thought you may enjoy a little peek…

Now doesn’t that feel more like spring? For more information please visit this link . Have a great weekend!
