it all goes so fast...

time that is.
i just realizes that i haven't written here in a month! wow.
i guess i peruse other blogs more than writing in my own.

i am working on my dreams. it's a slow process these days.
n starts preschool in 2 months and i will have more time for creativity but i will miss him so much.

i have been with him everyday for over 3 years, hard to let go. but i am so happy for him, to see him experience life and grow. baby j will be home with me for years to come and i know to enjoy every minute!

o baby flesh. yummy! your own babies have this certain smell. mine smell like sugar even when their dirty, sweet sugar. love them more than air.

eat pray love

this book spoke to me.
i bought it and finished it in 2 days and was so happy, it opens your mind and your heart.
i have spent time in italy. having lived in france for a few years i realize the lux of life in southern europe, especially now that i am living in fast paced, consumerism america,


life is lived at a different pace, a slow appreciating one. it is conducted around family, around what is important...love,food,wine,beauty,nature.

bali is magic. the land there speaks to you, becons you to look deep.
i spent over a month there breathing in the magic...
baths of rose petals and ginger tea
climbing mt. batur at sunrise...steamed eggs and bananas
artist and art everywhere
spirituality at every moment
amazing food
beautiful flowers
fire dancing
lushness of life!

india, O india. a place of my heart a place of my soul...
i don't know why, it just is. a place that i must see before my end of time.
secretly, i wish i would've went there single. when i was free to roam recklessly with abandonment, me and my rucksack. the thought of living on an ashram has always intrigued me, finding pure inner solitude, searching for it and finding it.

well, life has changed. i now have 2 little guys and one day i will take them to india. i want to show them the fine art of traveling the world, being free, seeing the beauty of cultures with completely different mores and mind set.
i look forward to that!

now life is of the here and now, no running off to far away lands.
thats ok. i am SO glad i did all that, so appreciative of my will to hop on a plane and go to a different land.

eat pray love encompasses freedom, to be true to yourself, to take risks and to live life to the fullest!

i wrote to her and she responded...


Thank you so much for your lovely note! I'm so glad you enjoyed the
book. It's been such a joy to see this book go out there in the world
and find people, reach people, make friends with folks I'll never
meet...all of which is to say - your letter was very touching to
me...especially coming from a fellow world traveler! I am indeed
writing
about Vietnam (a little bit) in my next book, and about my trip to
Cambodia, too...but, oh, there's so much more to see in the world --
don't you agree?


I wish you lots of luck and blessings on all your own journeys,
wherever
they may take you next!


Best wishes, always -


Liz Gilbert


to say the least, i was touched~

the secret

so, i just got this much talked about book and i am looking forward to reading it.
i really want to see what all the hype is and also hoping for kick in the butt inspiration!

i loved eat pray love so much that i wrote to the author and she wrote me back! what a thrill it was to open up that email and O so surprising.
i am a fellow traveler and have been everywhere she has been except india, which i must see before it's all over...so reading her book brought back luscious memories and many life experiences.

i miss the open road. backpack on my back. not knowing what the next journey will bring or whom you will meet or where you will sleep. the unknown has always been so fascinating to me. i cherish those feelings and memories forever.

babies change everything! but the love they give is immeasurable and i wouldn't trade being their mommy for a million journy's.
i will show them the world through my eyes and photos and hope that one day they seek out the freedom and have the insatiable desire to see the world and smell all the smells and witness different cultures and mores. it's all so beautiful!

moi~

still trying to do all i want to do.
it's such a slow process but i know if i just keep a turtles pace sooner or later i will end up where i want to be.
i just have to be positive and believe in myself.
know that i have the power.
know that i can do it to.

i see so many talented, amazing woman out there in blog land living their dream, connecting with other woman and experiencing their full potential.
i am so proud of all of you!

namaste~

new dreams and new hopes
to love more
to create more

to move across the country with no fear!
to know we will be ok...
to trust in the mighty universe more

to be fearless!!!
