Welcome to the magical world of transformation…

There is some pretty cool stuff happening in the Creativity Room at my house…

It is a spider eating a bug. It happened like a yard from my meditation pillows and I thought it was so cool I just let them be…oh and I took photos!

Even though I have a love/hate thing going on with our cat Poppy I did capture quite a few impressive photos of her. She’s very expressive and has these amazing green eyes:

Can you guess what I did this past Saturday?

I met with my Think Tank this week. We get together and brainstorm for each other. It’s a great way to grow your business.

Corinne & Kate are awesome!

Then I went over to Santa Clara University to walk through the garden:

It’s a beautiful campus:

On Friday I went to a party and my favorite person was this cutie:

And on Saturday we were of course propped up in front of the tellie watching Cal football!

How was your week? I’d love to hear about it.

This past week I went to visit Pam

so that I could meet her new baby Rothko

and he is adorable!

Then we went out to lunch at Morrocco’s

great food & incredible decor

pretty chairs

plus the coolest lighting in the bathroom!

After lunch we walked through a beautiful church

And on the way back to the car we spotted a tranquil plaza nestled in between the sky rises

with a sparkly fountain

and we simply had to stop and enjoy it.

What a fabulous day with an awesome woman & friend. Thanks Pamela!

What a fabulous week it’s been!  And I thought it would be fun to publish excerpts from my journal with my Weekly Winners. In fact, the first photo is a photo of my journal. I went to the Louise Hay You Can Heal Your Life conference and here is a snapshot of the notes I took from a message delivered by Cheryl Richardson. How cool is she?!

My Gracie has known all along that when you stop trying to prove your worth that you discover how invaluable you truly are. She took a nap to celebrate!

Today I want you to imagine that your life is perfect. That it is a process designed just for you and you have the strength, courage, and wisdom to really ROCK IT OUT!

Imagine your relationships if you had no fear of rejection…

It’s okay to fly away from that which doesn’t serve you…even if you are related.

When you don’t know your power, you fight for it and lose it in the process.

This photo is my Weekly Winner today because it’s the only photo I took this week!  I went to the park with my camera and when I turned it on I realized the battery was out of juice.  Bummer. But, it’s still a winner!

“The Next Step is Only One Step”

Even when you can’t see clearly…the next step is still only one step. Of course, you probably wouldn’t want to be walking on the backrest of a park bench unless you were an ant, a ladybug, or a butterfly….but, I still like the perspective that the next step is only one step :~)

So often it’s hard to see directly in front of you. But, if you keep your eye on your greatest vision (why would you hold a vision that was less than the greatest?!), then even if you aren’t exactly sure what to do next – the vision can still come true. In fact, lots of times when you hold fast the reality ends up BETTER than the original idea.

And so it is.

I am visiting my sister Brenda and her family right now. And the truth is…the visit was prompted by a health care crisis.  Here is what Bren says:

“I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure…something that we as a family were not prepared for. I am working hard to better myself as well as listen to whatever my cardiologist says. We are all optimistic that my condition won’t worsen and in the next 3 months I become a person living with CHF not dying from CHF. Thank you to everyone who have sent their well wishes and prayers.”

So this week’s Weekly Winners is dedicated to my sister Brenda and her courage to transform her life and not only live, but THRIVE through congestive heart failure.

The Suburban Gypsy posted this really cool article yesterday titled “Sometimes“.  I thought it would be neat to do something similar with this set of Weekly Winners.

Sometimes we fall and land perfectly balanced.

Sometimes there are dark shadows that highlight the beauty of nature.

Sometimes snuggling up in quilted comfort is the only way to play.

Sometimes all ya need is a kiss!

Sometimes God sends blurry visions that come into focus through quiet time in stillness.
