The Last Three Days Of 2012

Sitting, I am flowing into this day the twenty ninth of two thousand and twelve.   Soul music fills our hearts today. Snow flurries about outside, we are preparing for a fluffy winter romp in the cold. The new year is just 3 moons away, and we as a family will welcome the coming year with open minds and peaceful energy.  I am grateful for all of our blessings, and aim to be more mindful of my health in the days ahead so that I can provide for my family with strength, and longevity!  To anyone who might be reading this, I welcome you to join me in a smile, and remember to spread love wherever you are, and keep kindness flowing! 

Her light shines bright

My oldest Daughter turns 4 on Sunday, She is made of pure magic. To be born on halloween is a gift in it self, and I see in her a light so bright that with her by my side I shall never again be shrouded by darkness. On another note her sister is trailing quickly behind her, soaking in all of lifes ups and downs. together they are the ying yang, the cycle, the eb and flow. One moment pure angels and the next your greatest test of patience. Stepping back and watching the big picture, I am ever entertained, scared, and full of grace, and reverance to the great spirit of creation.
Keep on shinning.

Gaia's blessings

What a great weekend it has been. The heat subsided, the mushrooms were plentiful, and I have dined on several glorious meals. My family is healthy, happy, and excited about fall. We have pumpkins on the front step, we scored some great deals at the thrift store, and I am high on all the wonderful blessings in my life. I hope if you are reading this that the universe is shining bright light on your path, and that whatever it is you do, or are interested in is satisfying your soul. The picture attached is of this weekends bounty of yellowfoot chanterelle, and my daughter is pointing out the monarch that hitch hiked home with me, we believe it was the very one that we released a month ago coming back to say hello.

dreamland and the road that leads there

I just came downstairs from my daughters room where I had been laying with her, she is now asleep, on her way to dreamland. What a trip its is, the process of winding down the 3 year old brain. She starts by putting up some sort of resistance, tonight it was the old, " Im too hot in these pants, I need to change into shorts " So I roll with it, and when she is done with the wardrobe change, its on to further distractions that range from silly banter, and tickling, to serious Q&A. Tonight she asked me out of the blue where one of her friends dads was. This friend unfortunately has a dad who lives far away, and is not "in the picture" So I tried my best to gently explain the idea that some mommies and daddies don't stay together, witch immediately prompted a serious look, and her sweet gentle hand on my arm. I looked her and with all my heart and honesty and told her that I will never leave mommy, and that we will be together as a family forever. In that moment I felt so confident, and realized once again how blessed I am to have my wife, and daughters, and I truly will never leave them, or let them down in any way. The Q&A then winded down, and I began my tactic of pretending to sleep, this includes several yawns, cozy wiggling into my pillow, smiling big with my eyes shut. She watches me, and I aim for her to see how much Daddy is enjoying sleep. This doesn't always work, but tonight it did, and she fell asleep so peacefully. I stayed and watched for a few minutes, feeling proud, blessed, and so happy. Sweet dreams my sweet child. Namaste

positive vibrations

If you are reading this, I hope you are comfortable, smiling, or at least content in the moment. This blog I am creating is being put in motion to send good energy out into the universe. This being my first blog, I will briefly introduce myself for anyone who has randomly stumbled upon this on their travels through the galactic super web of Internet. I am a human of 32 years, I am a father of two girls, and the lover of a beautiful woman who I have spent half of my living moments with.I dwell in the beautiful state of Vermont. I work with gourmet food, I am passionate about fungi, and my mission on the planet is to bring light into the darkness. I aim to do so by consuming positive energy through many different outlets, and sharing that energy with anyone who I can communicate with. Being a father to two girls is the greatest joy I have experienced to date, the love they bring into my life is more powerful than any source of energy I can fathom. If you are still reading, bless your soul. That's a brief intro to who I am, stay tuned for more thoughts, insights, and random stories of my encounters with the universe. Be well.
