Where I want "to go" in 2013

Our PLAY prompt this week is
Where I want "to go" in 2013.
 
This feels like a year of change for me.
I feel like I'm making good progress on
'my stuff'.  :-)
 
 
 
From a Mumford song, with grace in my heart and flowers in my hair.
Seems like a great tool kit as I meander through.
 
 
 
Check out where Carla's going.


The gate photo is one of my own.
There's a story to that gate.
I'll save that for another time.
It's about a dream that I held for 10+ years that is not going to happen.
Yet...




Meditate.
Life purely.
Be quiet.
Do your work with mastery.
 
Like the moon,
come out from behind the clouds!
SHINE.

Fan fest

Some fun at the ballpark.
 
Very cold,
but still a great time to
do all things Mariners.
 
 
Cody Man caught 4 of 4 of the pop fly balls
the pitching machine threw to him.
Hence the big SMILE!


 
When the
rights words
can not be found,
JUST LOVE.

Life is PURPLE!

Our prompt for PLAY is
Life is _______________. (insert color)
 

Anyone who even spends a few minutes
with me could probably guess this is my color.
 
 
If given a choice of colors, it is what I always pick.
It's funny that I don't really wear purple -- guess I'm saving that for when I'm an old lady!  ;-)


Check out Carla's color.



REACH
as high as
you can, and
then reach a l
little higher.
There you will
find magic and
possibility.
And maybe even cookies.

M is for Map

 This week's Play prompt is 'M is for Map'.

I have a wee love of maps.
I'm old school -- I'd much rather have a paper map than a GPS.

Wisconsin snow

The kids had so much fun playing in the snow
over our Christmas visit to Wisconsin.
 
Grandma and Grandpa have the perfect sledding hill in their backyard.

happiness.


 
your experience in life
cannot exceed your
willingness to be vulnerable.

On the dotted line

The prompt this week in Play was on the dotted line. 
 
I often get comments on my big swoopy signature.
That is what came to mind when I thought
of the dotted line -- signing on the dotted line.


See what Carla came up with.




with grace in
your heart
and flowers
in your hair

Catchin' snowflakes



can you see the little snowflake by his left eye?
He caught it!  :-)

Strengths and weaknesses

That's the prompt for Play this week.  (actually last Monday)
 
hmmm...not exactly easy to write these down,
and even harder to share. 
I struggled with this one, but then just started writing lists
on one of my blotting papers. 
I decided to make my blotting paper list into an envelope
and stitch it closed! 
I know whats in there. 
I know what I do well. 
I know what I need to work on. 
I'm just not ready to throw that out for all to see.





a candle cannot shine as bright as the sun
but one alone can light up the dark.
all it takes is a single
SPARK.
