Special Visit

Tonight we had a special treat....a visit from my brother, Pete, who lives in Kansas. He swung by Baltimore for a quick visit before heading to Albany, NY for a trial (he is a lawyer). We miss him and his family ALOT so it was wonderful to catch up and spend some time with him! 

A Rose

One of my students came in on Friday morning and handed me a rose and a picture that she made for me. The picture was of a leprechaun underneath a rainbow. My favorite part of all was the note that said "I Love You".  

Her gesture of love reminds me how important it is to share your joy.

Friday and Saturday's post....The Power of the Feminine

Friday's Post: Tonight I went to my book club meeting with a bunch of my girlfriends. We talked about the book "Me Than You" and then had a very deep discussion about perception, image, and honesty. I love that I am friends with a group of such strong, unique, and loving women.

Saturday's Post: Today I listened to the "warm up" call for the sugar detox that I am starting on Monday. Again, I am touched by the power of woman when they join together in support of each other. I am looking forward to the cleanse and to finding other ways to "treat" myself besides food. I am thinking an acupuncture session and a massage are in order!

Friends Celebrating a Happy Anniversary

Tonight, I enjoyed being around a couple who was celebrating their wedding anniversary. It was evident how much they loved and respected each other and their joy was contagious.

A Visit to Pella

So grateful for Donna who works at the Pella store in Hunt Valley. Tony, the girls, and I met over there to look at slider doors. Their website said they would be open until 7pm. We got there at 6pm. Donna was helping another customer and said she would be with us in a minute.

She told us that the store actually closed at 5pm and she was just finishing up with the other customer. The sign outside read closed at 5pm. We mentioned that the website said the store was open until 7pm on Wednesdays. She said she would be happy to stay and help us. She even cancelled an appointment that she had for later in the evening in order to stay and help us.

She was pleasant and did not rush us at all. With all the coordinating that we needed to do to make it there tonight, we were so lucky that Donna was willing to help us. 

It sticks in your mind when someone goes above and beyond. Lesson learned!

Sugar Detox

I am so grateful to be a part of a sugar detox starting next week. Our leader is Richele Henry who is an amazing woman with a huge heart.

Sweet Smell

I LOVE being able to give my daughters a hug and smelling their sweetness. It is one of my favorite parts of the day. I really love that Brooke enjoys the practice as much as I do. We both take at least 5 long breaths of each other each night. It is so calming and brings me right back to the present!
