We have all changed our clocks except if you live in a city in Indiana or if you live in the state of AZ.
Here we are in the days of Darkness. Consider this ... light extra candles in your living space when you arrive home to enhance the magic of lighting and celebrate the darkness.
After Thanksgiving, or maybe the week of ... string little twinkle lights around your living space for some added playful light. Continue to add twinkle lights in spaces you may not have thought of before ... Bathroom mirror, kitchen window, around the desk, strung along the mantel with festive decorations in front of the lightening. Outside and inside ... get creative and play with twinkle lights.!
This time of year can become drab and worrisome, so lighten up your Spirits and Play with lighting. Go to the pool for a swim in the wee hours of the morning light or in the darkness after work. Drop in to a Yoga session and feel the day lift away from your soul as you stretch, bend and twist away the fatigue. Consider an early afternoon walk in the moist and pleasant trails in the area. When was the last time you went to Bloedel?
Tonight embrace the fact that seasons change, life changes and we change.

I am not a fan of Halloween ... but I remember how much my mother enjoyed it and this blog is about telling our story. My Mom ... creative, entertaining, joyful, full of Love, imaginative, unique, to say a few of her attributes.
I looked out at the Human Race tonight in a local community where I frequent and said to myself, "is this who we are?" NO, "This" is who we hope to be ... This is who we pretend to be .... This is who .... I still don't get "it."
So Halloween aside; there is another topic that is pressing me to communicate ... Spirits.
We have all lost loved ones, we have all experienced the HOLE that resides is our being when our loved one leave this physical space, Defined as Sadness. Abandoned. Misery. Emptiness. Those words try to explain feelings even 3, 5 10. 18. 20+ years after the loss has been experienced. Where do we go for comfort? How do we seek fulfillment? When will there be resolve?
I don't have the answers, but the calm in this journey is that I seek the questions and in time the answers will come. My love in those who have passed before me plus the resolve that the answers are not the end to the mean give me comfort in knowing that this journey is well worth the experience and the joy that is shared two fold; with Them and You.

Each day brings amazing surprises and revelations ... don't you agree? I work in the Public sector and I am a full-time student, so I see, witness, experience, and participate in the most enriching and cultivating relationships that you can imagine. I am so very fortunate to be engaged with life at this level daily!
On the flip side with all this stimulation and interacting comes exhaustion and burnout! When and where do we recharge our batteries? Well the good news, as a professional coach, I know the first place for me to turn to is physical activity and I can't wait to participate in Happy Hour Yoga tomorrow night at Bainbridge Yoga House off Day Rd. West.
My other and most preferred physical activity is swimming. The joy and delight that I receive from swimming is immeasurable and relieves all the stresses of life!
Go inside and listen to what your physical body is calling for. l i s t e n ... it will tell you. Respond to what it wants. Take heed to allow the process of love and acceptance move into this physical time and place.
IN DOING SO ... take the Risk and Feel the Rush.

Where have we been?
Here it is two years later and I am revisiting my blog. Dang time files, yes? My intention is to reclaim our connection and allow you the opportunity to share your thoughts and feelings.
The past two years have been full of love, joy, expansion, life, recovery, death, growth, and exploration to name a few things. Currently I am in my junior year of college with WWU in the College of Business and Economics which is a journey I began MANY moons ago. Stepping up to complete this journey has raised many questions with my friends and family. To keep it simple I have heard ... Why?, What?, Where?, What will you be when you finish? Where will this take you? All very valid questions seeking finite answers. Truth be told ... today I do not have an answer to any one of those questions, but what I do sense is that I am on a journey that will lead me to greater heights than I have never experienced in my past and that I am an open book. I AM open to learn, receive, and navigate a life of immeasurable possibilities and that is exciting!
Enough about me! What have you been up to over the past couple of years?
I would love to here from you as we are all in this Journey called Life and it is full of Love, Joy, and experiences and stories that we can draw from. Know that your story matters and the best time to express it is NOW!
Peace & Love to All,
Lynn
