Short Days...End of the Year

Quiet on the train this morning! We are all so done with this going to work ...in the dark.... ugh!  Life is too short to spend so much time going to a job every day, its making a lot of people physically sick.  EVERYONE is talking about 'looking forward' to the last day, no more, being off! ...Me Too!

Happy dark mornings everyone! Keep practicing Love.

Winter Beauty

I often complain about winter, the short days, the cold, the rain, so today  I defintely want to share the beauty I am seeing and the gratitude I am feeling.

I awake in the dark to the sound of the wind rattling the window and know we are in for a spectacular day...little did I know! As the sun comes up the turned  sky pink reflecting off the clouds, as the tops of the trees swaye and dance.

Coming outside is brisk and windy, but beautifully sunny.  The streets are filled with golden and red leaves, there is an incredible freshness in the air.

I can see the ocean at the end of the street and it is turbulent, with spray being tossed onto the seawall in bursts from big waves...powerful, lovely, all bathed in sunlight.

And then the ride on the train, where the view of these majestic snow capped mountains confirms that winter is indeed here.

Seems the stunning full moon we just experienced has brought the snow, and taken the leaves off the trees, and today has blessed us with this stellar and brilliant day.

Namaste, dear ones...keep practicing Love.

Promises, promises

The title of my current favorite song. 'I am on the road of least resistance'...I have been bailing on my promises to me, cause that  familiar pain is just that....familiar!  Something 'clicked' this morning as I awoke to a picture perfect fall day in this beautiful city....it's done...I can have anything...this 'familiar promise' has lost its appeal. I let go and let the Divine express its TRUE me.

Love, Lo 

Time for Goodbye & Creating a Tribute

A beautiful young woman that I was honoured to call friend, is being remembered and celebrated this afternoon.  She was graceful, and full of purpose and promise. She was 35.

To me she was all that I am not, graceful, even, and poised, and what bonded us....for we did not see each other often and did not run in the same circles....was the practice of Love.  We went to the depths of what being open-hearted brought to our lives, the amazing and the less than fabulous.  She was a touchstone of promise and sweet depth. 

I 'connected' with her on Friday evening while dancing to her playlist on soundcloud.com.  She said 'I can touch all of you at the same time now'.   She continues to Practice Love!

I would like memorialize her by having hundreds follow her on soundcloud.com, search Chouette....she is the only one in Vancouver.

Love you Jocelyn, Always!

Appreciating EVERY experience!

I find it a challenge to 'love' this cold weather. And was reminded by a lovely stranger that this too is here to be experienced...the reminders floated through my thoughts 'it comes to pass it doesn't come to stay' and 'how can one truly appreciate one without the other'.
So thank you lovely stranger for reminding me to be grateful and appreciative for all of my life's experiences! ....for why would I want to feel that any of this so short life was any less than amazing!

Practicing Love,
Lo

Today i am longing

I hit my head on the weekend, really hard, and it brought to the forefront my desire to come home to someone that really cares about my well being!

I've mastered the experience of 'taking care of myself'....I am ready and willing to share that with a man that wants to share that too!

'I call to you with all I am
Lover, Goddess, Friend, and meow'

Practicing Love,
Lo

Monday morning...and life is fabulous!

Stunning perfectly sunny weekend just experienced, filled with enough work to feel accomplished, and enough pleasure to feel sated and balanced!

As I write that my mind considers that I may prefer the fun and pleasure seeking over the hunt for work and sustenance? Not sure though as I do like the hunt ;-) ...being a lioness and all *big smile*.

Practicing Love,
Lo
