On this great spiral of life, I am always growing, evolving and deepening  my understanding of love, life and the universe....

That said, there have been several "punctuation marks" along my path that have caused me to grow/evolve by leaps and bounds.... Here are just a few......

                                      ........becoming a mama (HUGE!!)

                                                .......running for public office

                                                      ......living a "real life" conspiracy theory (gulp!)

                                                         .....being an activist

                                                           .......watching loved ones deal with addiction

                                                               ......coming to terms with co-dependency

                                                                     .......consciously choosing to listen to my heart 

                                                                            .......and  live in love and light

I always pay close attention to the animals that show up in both my waking and dreaming life.....

Crows have been ever present in both lately.....

Here is a little about crows. Maybe you have crow medicine, too???

Some dance wildly around the living room music for you...:)

Wishing all you beautiful, amazing mamas a most glorious week-end!!!

Part of my "mama's day" gift was an afternoon sans kids yesterday. It was a gorgeous day here and, with journal in hand, I wandered down to the beach and soaked up the peace and sunshine.....Ahhhhh......

As I sat on a log watching the waves and listening to the gulls, what came up for me was how grateful I am for the incredible gift of motherhood. More than all the education in the world, they have opened my heart to realms of possibility.....

My kids are my greatest teachers. I often feel like I am living with 3 little zen masters 24/7. That said, they serve as constant inspiration to keep evolving and growing. They remind me to breathe, let go and have fun. (As I write this I am sitting in the middle of a "staw" house...the boys are paddling around the kitchen in laundry baskets....and, yah, it's all good!!! LOL :) They also remind me (on a minute by minute basis) to remain compassionate, flexible and patient...... Now that they are getting older, they also mirror back to me qualities that I really do want/need to work on.... Letting go of "perfectionism", being more organized, being in the moment....etc...etc.....:)

With all this in mind, I intend to be present with my kids (and get off the computer -- LOL :)) and just enjoy their beutiful spirits, the sunshine and garden this mama's day!!!

May you all have a blessed day!!!!
Namaste,
S:)

PS: Here's a great song for you....:)

 

My son has always told me that he would love to fly....
Not in a plane....But by his own "power"....

He is absolutely fascinated with the following and I must say, so am I!!!

Talk about surrender.....

Loved this video. Very powerful and filled with hope....
