Winter Musings...

All day today I found myself practicing the art of breathing allowing myself to stand still. I am residing in this imaginary place which could be the bottom of a Xmas stocking and there peacefully... I rest. 

I have kissed a lot and at times forgotten the language I should be speaking. I blame it on the lack of sleep and all the new and the incredible projects I am concocting. I miss the august moon but have found myself falling in love with this winter season. The crisp air fills my lungs with hope and excitement.

In the meantime I share with you a few images of the past few days while I continue to reread myself like the pages of an old book...

Winter Obsessions...

A Few Holiday Favorites:

1. Dell Venue 7 powered by Intel -  Enjoy every detail of your favorite apps, like Netflix, on a stunning HD screen. My first tablet and I must say it was a breeze to set up and I am impressed at how easy it is now to show my work to potential clients in this very lightweight and portable tablet. At less than 9.5mm thin, you can lay this lightweight tablet on your lap. 

2. Cashmere Cardigan -  Because I like certain things I shouldn't.

3. Low Biker Boots-  Obsessed with biker boots this winter.

4. Holiday Cocktail -  Cranberry & Vanilla. 

A Daily dose of Vitamin C and low in calories.

Juice + zest of 3 large navel oranges 

2  12oz bags fresh cranberries, rinsed and picked over 

1/2 cup Truvia 

2 cups water 

3 cups vanilla vodka

1 large bottle sparkling water

Hope you are enjoying your weekend.

Holiday...

Tonight I am making a toast for you and me...

After three years this blog has become my map and my point of reference to my daily life. Because when I ask myself what did we do last year during the holidays and my answer was I need to look it up on the blog for a hint... it means this space has become pretty important. This is my virtual journal and it includes the many highs and the many lows... And among these entries there are many beautiful places, people and things I've seen and this year is coming to an end. 

I am so thankful for yesterday's feast. The potato salad and the ham. The sweet rolls and the margaritas. For the children that were playing and the adults that gather around the kitchen counter. For the after movie theater outing with three girls that were beautiful and funny. 

After all is said and done... 

After I have finished putting all the Tupperware away what I am most thankful for is... Time. Because I would be nothing without all these moments, people and places...

Then the night fell and his face was so close to mine and he said... You are just so sweet.

I smiled with my eyes the same way I have done since I was five and I kissed him... 

With my eyes shut I kissed him thinking about the word... Sweet. 

At that moment I felt like vowing to always be sweet but then I thought about boundaries... Thresholds...Thin lines between things and I knew at times we need the spicy just not sweet.

Otherwise he would never have the need to get close to my face and reassure me that... 

I am sweet.

Hope you are enjoying the start of this holiday season...
