Today is a fresh day with the smell of rain and fresh earth in the air. I love when it rains! I feel so clean and pretty after a rain; don’t ask me why. Maybe it’s my sign, earth is what I crave. Maybe that’s why I love to putter in the yard?
I was sent this fabulous quote today and it made such sense to me; “Sometimes the only way to ever find yourself is to get completely lost.” Time to get lost.
Feed and walk Ben and dream of my path. . .
It is always sad to say good-bye to a friend. It is not in your hands to change things most of the time, but sometimes it is. Always say what you feel because you might not get a second chance. Today I watch a very close friends say good bye to their father. I am not sure it is something I can do, so afraid to even think if this was happening to me. This is all I have in me – tomorrow I will have to have a VERY FULL day.
Feed and walk Ben, early morning appointment before I head to the church; and away we go. . .
Monday is often dreaded, but I somehow always feel like the first day of school; excited and ready to use my newly sharpened pencils. Today is no exception since Ben and I have much to do this week since we will be taking a little vacation next week.
This week we have contracts to write, new advertisers to meet with and sponsorships to follow up on. Lots of exciting things going on for BB & B Business Group right now so I need to stay focused.
Ben was VERY excited to hand the Locals Choice Award to the Best Pet Business in Contra Costa, Camp Four Paws. What a dream vacation for some very special four legged family members.
BIG stretches since my back is not feeling up to par; feed and walk Ben and away we go. . .
I had the longest day yesterday! Started at 8 am and I did not walk in my front door until 10:30 pm! Now, I didn’t say it was a bad day, on the contrary it was great, but it was VERY LONG! Today I am starting even earlier but I am ending work early but then I have a very important date with two young men; my nephews Ramon and Rory. Ramon has his blue belt test for Tae Kwon Do and then we are having a “sleepover”! Ben and I are very excited.
Before all that can happen I have 5 meetings to get through and countless emails. I better get going!
Latte please, but first; stretches and meditation; feed and walk Ben and away we go. . .
This could apply to anything but today it refers to the awesome moon from last night. I felt like I was in some European horror movie but it was pretty great.
Last night the Empress Theatre was totally packed with “Hot House Blues” with Volker Strifler. Hot House Blues joins the musical lineup of exciting and eclectic musical offerings at the Empress Theatre in Vallejo. Hot House Blues kicks off a new series focusing on blues and celebrates the rich musical blues heritage of Vallejo. The new series joins the highly successful Wednesday Night Ramble and Soulshine and brings music every Wednesday to the historic downtown theatre. See, it does keep getting better!
Off to Contra Costa today for lots of adventures but first, stretches and meditation; feed and walk Ben and away we go. . .
I am always amazed that “I am always amazed” at how beautiful the moon is! Last night is was just stupendous. I felt that if I made ten wishes, they would all come true. It was truly radiant.
Perhaps the full moon is why I am waking up so early every day. For the past three days I have woken up between 4:30 and 5:00 am. Hopefully that will stop. Yesterday we bounced out of bed and I was having a latte at Bouchon Bakery in Yountville by 8:30 am and it felt like a summer day sitting out on the patio. Ben and I met up with Amy Giaquinta “The Tomato Lady” and had a very deep conversation about breeding tomatoes. I’m still thinking about some of the factoids she threw out at me. I believe our conversation about snails was the most interesting, they have an “organic” snail bed at their property that some of the finest restaurants in the Napa Valley cultivate. It was a little scary.
Today Ben and I will get out early and head to Contra Costa to visit the last of the Local’s Choice Award winners. Should be fun and the weather will keep us smiling.
Another early day, stretches and meditation; feed and walk Ben and away we go. . .
Everyone knows that I’m a “Moonaholic” and whether we have a full moon or a crescent moon, I see the magic of them all. Last night’s moon was fabulous and with the weather it reminded me of the summer and being able to lie out on the deck and watch the stars and let the moon dance in my dreams. Try looking at the stars tonight with the full moon and squint your eyes to get that “Diamond” look and experience the night lights.
Today Ben and I are going to stay low since we have not been feeling well – but we have a lot to accomplish so off to work we go. First stop: Bouchon Bakery!
Back to my stretches and meditation, feed and walk Ben and I’m gone . . .
Now I am not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing, but it was somehow soothing. I live a block away from a Catholic Church and have lived there for 3 years and I don’t think I have ever heard the church bells that early. I then started thinking “Do I wake up to the church bells every morning?” Maybe I do and have never noticed. Is that possible? Possible yes, but I would like to think that I haven’t been so “asleep” for the last 3 years that I didn’t know that church bells rang every morning. This whole paragraph is a just a little lesson on how my mind works. Crazy, huh?!
I’m a little under the weather today and was hoping to feel better and get some things accomplished. Or, maybe I should just go back to bed? (This is my brain when I don’t feel well, imagine what I’m like when I’m at full speed, scary!)
Congrats to Daniel Day-Lewis on his well-earned Oscar for his portrayal of Lincoln. One of the best movies of 2012.
I’m out of bed, no stretches since I stayed in bed till the last minute, fed Ben and I’m gone . . .
