Today's thought

The thought running through me today is

" Meditation is not an escape from life, but preparation for really being in life"

The Three B's and a K

Meet 3 of our family members the first one is a rare Australian rose breasted talking cockatoo

her name is Bette of course cause females are called Bette in Australia!  then middle photo is of our little doge Buddy! he just turned two he is a little love always protecting and loves to lay right beside you now matter what you are doing. the black and while one on the couch is Bella. she is a Jack Russell she too is a love always kissing she is a little glutton though she hears anyone in the kitchen and she comes running! 

the K I don't have a photo of is Kodie she is our daughter's dog she is also a love she is like a little human she lays on the bed or couch and lays her head on a pillow like a person! although they all drive us a little crazy at time we would not have it any other way. it will be lonely when my daughter and her dog Kodie move to Az this summer. but we will still have our hands full with the other three..

quotes for yesterday and today

First quote post of the new year

"The soul establishes itself but how far can it swim out through the eyes and still return safely to its nest"

Re-new, Re-cleanse, Re-birth

Here it is the New Year, I have to admit I am glad to see 2011 gone, it had it's good and bad  but I am ready for new and exciting things and challenges to come in this new year, to start I did not make any resolutions I have decided that I am just going to take this new year one step and day at a time and change the things I want to change or do the things I want to do in my own time and fashion.

I continue my journey of self discovery and wellness, and will embrace all that comes to me. This is a new year so as I reflect it is a time of renewal , cleansing and rebirth.

may the new year bring you all great blessings
