I wrote my
last post on the eve of my son's 9th birthday, in the midst of planning and preparations. I wanted so very much to mark the occasion, despite being distracted...despite not having the time to write all that I wanted to say. Even now, I can't honestly find the words to express what this space and all of you have come to mean in my life. It's been one year since I published my first post and I am forever changed by the experience. I never imagined how much loveliness I would find here, how much support and loving encouragement would flow into my life. Last week, I said YES to being a part of this
amazing adventure and I'm so looking forward to meeting hug to hug those of you attending that I've connected with heart to heart already. The most amazing part of this journey has also been the hardest...connecting with so many lovely women...with so many, many miles between us that sometimes it hardly seems fair. I'm hopeful, that our physical paths will cross, as it is with all things, when the time is right.
The other day I thanked you for believing in me, but more importantly I want to thank you for reminding me to believe in myself. I want to thank you for taking such gentle care of my heart, for nurturing and inspiring mine when I had long since given up on listening to it myself.
The winter of 2008 was particularly long here and it's taken me all of spring to pull myself out of its darkness and quiet. I'm back now, just in time for summer, and ready to return to this space on a more regular basis. I thank you for your patience in sticking by me, for your comments and emails that reminded me that even in my quiet...I wasn't alone...that you had never left.
I dedicate this song to YOU and this brand new season.
It's summertime~xo
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.
You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.

Loving you so much!!!
This song just sums it all up... it is as if we are all riding along on our bicycles with the sun on our face, music in our hearts and 'lovin' all around!
Love you Beautiful! xx
I have said it before, but Iam so glad to have found your lovely blog. I will be very glad to peek inside your heart more often. Whenever I stop by to this corner of your world, I always leave refreshed and with a smile. Thank you. Congratulations on your one year blogiversary.
*So* glad you'll be at Sqaum!

Love and light to you Kirsten...j

hey! I am glad to hear that you are going to be back more!!!
I've been so glad to get to know you better (though all of our attempts to 'real life' connect have met with disaster!) I'm so jealous of your trip to squam - but I think it will be an incredible experience for you - there's really NOTHING like meeting kindred souls in person.
Love to you and looking forward to what else you have to say!
