In a post some time ago, I mentioned the artist Sara Tavares and her beautiful song, "Balance". Well, I came across the video and I am in love. In love with the simplicity of the video. In love with how fun everyone is having jammin' to the song. This is surely a video I wish I was a part of. Sara looks like the type of person I'd hang out with...Check it out and enjoy!

Sara Tavares, "Balance"

Hey, folks...

The weather is pretty bad where I'm located. Our mayor issued a "Level 3" status which means that if you are caught driving on the street you will be issued a ticket and possibly arrested if your reason isn't good enough. The mayor also declared today "Family Day" and encouraged the people of the city to use this day as a day to reconnect, chill, and maybe even have a snow ball fight with your loved ones. I thought that was cool...

Since I don't have kids or roommates to throw snowballs at, I will use this time (I have been working from home) to:

• invite myself to slow down



• reconnect with Oprah



• allow myself to fall asleep when I want to



• clean



• read



• stare and think

But this will all happen after I get out here on my porch, steps, and sidewalk and shovel all of the snow and ice that has accumulated. I caught myself laughing this morning because this amount of snow makes some folks mad. But it makes me laugh because I know that this kind of weather makes us slow down. I am truly thankful for this opportunity to slow down, rest, and appreciate the beauty that is winter.

Wishing you and yours a day of connecting and slowing down...

Peace, be well, and stay warm,

Hey, folks! Happy New Year and all that good stuff!
Yeah…who knew I would disappear for a year? I sure didn’t, but I’m gonna jump back into the blogging game and act like I just posted last week. I missed you all for the record….

Well, 2009 has started off ok crafting wise. I feel like I am on track with some of my creative goals. Before the conclusion of 2008, one of my goals was to learn how to sew and around mid-November a friend of mine told me her mother would be happy to get me started. She didn’t have to tell me twice….
