Good Evening. This was meant to be a morning post but work kicked my butt today, returning after being out sick a few days left me little time for breaks.
I was going to talk about stress and the way it can effect our mind, body and spirit but ironically I am tired from the stress of my day. Instead I'm posting some pics from my weekend. It was so soothing to my soul to see blue skies and sun that I couldn't help taking some pics. ( I threw a Bella pic in also cause she's just too cute)
I am a bit under the weather with a virus and have been spending time home with my pup Bella so when it came time to think of a Haiku for today she was my inspiration.

Hello my fellow wishers and dreamers, today is Wednesday and over at Jamie Ridler Studios it's a day to share our wishes and dreams.
Today's wish prompt is: What do you wish for your home?
What I wish for my home:
I wish my home to be a place of peace
where you rest your head safely at night
I wish my home to be a place of love
where you share your heart with another
I wish my home to be a place of trust
where you are always true to yourself
I wish my home to be a place of warmth
where you welcome all with open arms
I wish my home to be a place of laughter
where you sing aloud while dancing
I wish my home to be a place of hope
where you know each day you belong
What do you wish for your home? As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you also.
I Heart this woman BIG TIME. Love her spirit, her words and her style. This song "Rolling in the Deep" off her new album, "21" is part funky, part disco and part gospel.
Adele - Rolling in the Deep Lyrics
There’s a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch, it’s bringing me out the dark
Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go head and sell me out and I’ll lay your shit bare
See how I leave with every piece of you
Don’t underestimate the things that I will do
There’s a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch
And its bring me out the dark
The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love they leave me breathless
I can’t help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart and soul
And you played it
To the beat
Baby I have no story to be told
But I’ve heard one of you
And I’m gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Making a home down there
It Reminds you of the home we shared
The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love they leave me breathless
I can’t help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart and soul
And you played it
To the beat
Throw your soul through every open door
Count your blessings to find what you look for
Turned my sorrow into treasured gold
You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow
We could have had it all
We could have had it all
It all, it all it all,
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart and soul
And you played it
To the beat
She sings for all of us who may have been burned by this kind of a relationship. Enjoy and have a great day.
To add some fun to my Mondays I am going to do a musing post, just thoughts on whatever. This is just a way to get me to write and to pep up my Mondays! Since these posts will just be random thoughts I give fair warning that they may not have much structure.
Just when you thought it was safe to start day dreaming of spring we wake up to 4+ inches of snow, I guess winter's not quite ready to exit stage left!
I just found out that I was Vitamin D deficient and by the looks of the above picture I am sure you can see why, so I am on a nutritional quest to add more Vitamin D to my diet via natural food and supplements. At least now I know why I am so darn tired lately.
I dream of working in a field that combines art and healing, but does not require going back to school for a million years, maybe I will pioneer a new field, but alas first I must get back to creating which has gone by the wayside these past months. Winter has had a hold on me and my creative juices froze a bit. But people I can tell you I am feeling the thaw despite the snow around here.
Have a beautiful Monday and check out my friend Lisa (Dandelion Seeds and Dreams) for some Monday inspiration, she is my inspiration for this Monday!
I happened on to this Haiku prompt over at Corazon blog through a new classmate (Deb) over at Vivienne McMaster's Muse class. I love any poetry prompts so I am jumping right in.
Hi my fellow wishers and dreamers, today is Wednesday and over at Jamie Ridler's Studio it's a day to share wishes.
The wish prompt for today is: What aspect of your personality do you wish to express more of?
As some of you know the end of December and all of January have been tough for me, the good news is that I am feeling the spark of spring in my spirit and it's leading me out of the darkness and back to the light. Together the darkness and the light teach us so many things about ourselves, for me I am still processing this time of darkness but I do know I am stronger for going through it.
So back to the wish prompt, the aspects of my personality that I wish to express more of are those of freedom, lightness, creativity and whole heartedness. The image I hold in my mind when I think of these aspects is that of the 20 something year old me who wore indian skirts and ran barefoot through the grass, singing and dancing to the Grateful Dead (see one of my favorite songs above), during that time of my life I fully embraced those aspects of my personality that I wish to reclaim.
I am slowly getting back to creating and believe it or not my iphone is getting me back into it. I LOVE my new phone. The below is a slideshow of my instagram app pictures, this app allows you to take photos and then add different filters to the picture.
Dreaming of Spring and taking a much needed sunbreak at work.
I am slowly emerging from the darkness of winter. This year the darkness hit me hard, mind, body and spririt. I've been going with the flow over here even when it doesn't feel so flowy, if you know what I mean.
Yesterday I felt that spark of lightness and hope, I KNOW Spring is right around the corner, I can feel it and I am ready for it.
Today I took a sunbreak at work and soaked in the rays that have been so sparse here these last few weeks.
May you always know that when the darkness comes the light isn't far behind, they both make us who we are and there are lessons to be learned within both.
I feel like I'm in pieces
scattered around the floor
trying to pick one up
and then another falls
holding on to hope
I let go and let them be
curious to see what's to become
of these pieces of me
I am trying to process through words, the way I have been feeling, with the hope that i will pull myself up and out of this stuck place I have been in...no energy for classes or comments. I am here checking in and roaming around the web sending you love, trying to find my way back to myself, rooting and grounding as I go.
