words to live by ...

these are words of wisdom ... the key to a free soul.  the older i get, the more i see how subtly i entertain these really nasty little thoughts. 
god help me to be filled with love + grace for others, especially the ones that i have no love for within myself.  

first cup of coffee

this is a truly a GLORIOUS morning.

I finally decided to get me a cup of tall decaf coffee! .. for someone who's been deprived for 2 months, this little red cup in my hand is a BIG deal. I've missed it so much ... and what is it about coffee that instantly makes me feel good and happy inside? :)

it's going to be one amazing Friday!

NYE on an island

Santa Cruz island. 

good friends

clean air

camping + husband

cute + cuddly (?) foxes

heaven? yes. and boy do i wish we were back there right now ...

.  i'm so thankful for how 2011 ended + how 2012 began ... and so far, this new year has been good to us (minus the hormone-fluctuation that I was unable to control for the past 2 days) .. other than that, i think it's going to be a very beautiful 2012.   :)
