Picture from this Past Year

I cant beleive its been a year!

I am not even sure if anyone reads this blog anymore- I see on sitemeter that people stop by time to time.... I assume wondering what happened to me, or just linking on from another blogs blog roll.

It literally was a year today since I have posted.... I remembered this time last year and all of the goals and plans I had in mind. Days went by and turned into weeks. We all know what thats like.

The next thing I knew, I decided it was too late.

Its never too late- really. So much has changed in one year.

I went onto another blog the other day and it was themed alot like mine.

I felt really sad and wondered why I let it go- without dwelling on that- I decided to just simply bring it back.

So there- done. I wrote something. Its back.
Nothing elaborate, no real explantation needed- I just thought if I write something- ( and see if I can remember my log in- :-)- that It would be my new reality.

The Blog is here- it never went away- I loved it and missed it.
I have been contimplating what to share- what to write about and I think I will just throw it out there- day by day- and see where it takes me and what new direction we go.

I am glad to be back- this year will not be like the last.

"You had it in you all along"

Today is the first day of my Birthday Week-
This week as I prepare to turn 35 on Wednesday! A milestone birthday of sorts- I want to give myself the gift of a week of self love-hope you all will join me on it and check in for a week of shared inspiration, favorite quotes, stories, whatever-

I dont have as much right now in the past material wise- but I am wealthier than I have ever been-

I went to yoga yesterday as I do every Sunday morning, and our class started with our usual dedication for the day and practice. I was really hoping it would be something good that I could grab onto for my weeks "mission"- and ... it was...

Dee Dee my great yogi teacher had us close our eyes and focus on giving to ourselves- love this! So here was are visualizing 2 women in yoga- both in the same perfect LuLu Lemon Yoga Outfit, both drove to class in the same Range Rover, both left the same price house- but one is happy in her yoga pose and the other is too busy looking at others wanting her pose to look the best....she goes on to explain that the difference between yoga class and stretching class, is the intention you bring. So true! So that totally applies to life then to right- any every interaction we bring....she went on to say that we all have the power in us to create our own happiness and provide ourselves with everything we would ever need. Isnt that empowering-

The greatest present we can give to ourselves is realizing that the power and control to have everything you need to, want or desire is within you.

As Glenda the good witch says to Dorothy, "You had it in you all along".

Celebrate this in yourself and wherever you are on your journey take some time today and this week to honor yourself and whatever your next goal.... waiting for baby number 2, teaching at a a new school in Vermont, going back to work full time, starting a cupcake business in VA, just graduated from Law School, a fabulous interior designer staying in touch with family in AZ...you have it in you to be the best person you can be.

So for today- lets love our selves and know we have it in us to have what really matters and forget the rest.

Happy Birthday to Liz and Lauren- two dear girlfriends who share this birthday week with me.
