| Heart SunFlare 2010 |
I had finished some prior and will run around tomorrow finishing up what I can and it will be what it will be and that is OK. I am releasing the stress of the holiday season and embracing the community spirit of sharing this time with loved ones be it in times of joy or times of grief.
The picture above is one I took last week just pointing and shooting into sun. The sun flare produced a heart shape which was so cool and why I like taking flare pictures so much, you never know what will happen!
Ok so I venture back into my poetry/wish challenge. I am a bit rusty but I am commited to sharing so here is is, my winter's wish: (PS: I could not decide between these two versions.)
Blooms of spring, summer heat and fall harvest passed
the time has come to prepare for winters blast
embracing the gifts found in this dark time of year
sinking into the stillness of winter without any fear
moments filled with introspection as well as community
Winters wish knows alone or not there is always unity
and

I also wanted to point you in the direction of my friend Lisa at Dandelion Seeds and Dreams and the project she is working on putting into place for Half Sky Foundation which provides "individual care and stimulation for the children living in Chinese welfare centers". If you would like what like to learn more and vote for Lisa on facebook please click Lisa's linked site above.
From my heart to yours I wish you all that you wish for this holiday season. Much love to you and yours.
Namaste,
Karen

Hi hon..you have been on my mind so much of late..how are ya hon..well other than the virus and your friend. Hugs and love to you and happy holidays to you and yours ,Sarah
I'm in the same place re: holiday prep. My friend recently had surgery for cancer and then a week later had a stroke. It's pretty easy to let your baking and wrapping plans go when faced with something like this. Good for you for being there for your friend. Life doesn't stop for the holidays. That being said, your Christmas card will likely reach you in 2011, but now you know why...
As Karen wishes for herself, so I wish for her as well.
