Surfhouse Hot Chocolate

I mean... look at that cup of hot chocolate!! And the 4 toasted marshmallows!! The first time I ordered the Old Fashioned Hot Chocolate I was so excited about the toasted marshmallows I actually dunked my fingers in to grab one. My fingers got a little burnt, but it was oh so worth it!! It's a cup of absolute yummy goodness... probably over exceeds my sugar intake for the day... but a treat now and again is okay, isn't it? ;)

silence

because, in silence, i return to the true nature of the peaceful being that i am. because, in silence, i am aware of the entirety of life that surrounds me and of my connection to all. because, in silence, i feel the answers to some of my hardest questions. because, in silence, i am connected to Source, to Spirit, to God.

positivity

...because I completely believe that the energy which we send out into the world is what is returned to us. living in a state of positive awareness brings such an abundance of good into my life and those around me.... for me, there simply is no other way to live.

"You end up attracting to you the predominant thoughts that you are holding in your awareness. Whether those thoughts are conscious or unconscious."

lila's tail

...because it's fantastically adorable how the thing seems to be on autopilot! you look at lila and the tail starts wagging, you say something to lila and the tail starts wagging... if she's laying down and i walk into the room... the tail starts wagging. can you beat that kind of positive response? if only we had tails to show how much we enjoyed the presence of those around us... i imagine that is what our smiles are for.

prayers


...for though they are not a thing we can hold in our hand... behind our every request, our every intention is the power to bring comfort to those in need through the energy of our thought and the love and compassion of our hearts.

... may all affected by the Earthquake in Haiti receive the everloving presence of peace, love and compassion at this time. may they know comfort during this tragedy. may they know the healing grace of God through all who have come to help. may hands and shoulders be their strength in those moments of sadness and despair. may the light of God's love surround and blanket them wrapped in arms of love, enfolding all in peace.
