I am under the spell of the full wolf moon; its fierce solitary beauty at once chilling and a comfort.

My nascent plans for this year are assisted by dreams and desires clarified, like the clear and magnetic pull of this moon.

I long for more energy, confidence and peace of mind to bring a small spark of wonder and ideas on a journey through curiosity, sensory exploration and creativity.

My actions will be guided by spirit, generosity and a desire to ease the mind and nourish the soul.

I will explain the details of my plans in the weeks ahead but for now, please know that I am finally seeing the direction I wished for!

My goal of being more myself and living the life I’m meant to seems more possible than ever!

Namaste,

Pamela

silence
good belly laughs
zen moments
soft and colorful knit caps, scarves and mittens
wild storms
my husband’s embrace

What makes these folk happy?

FOR TODAY… from Pamela’s Daybook
Outside my window…the hard city streets tempered by gently falling snow.

I am thinking…that I’m enjoying getting back to blogging more although I’ll be easier on myself about it. No more pressure.

I am thankful for…a super fun weekend with my sister and her family, and my brothers. Good food, good [...]

What makes you happy?
Today, what’s making me happy is that my sister and her family are coming to spend the weekend with us! Yippee! We only get to see them every few months so I’m giddy with excitement and look forward to a weekend of relaxation, wine, good food, laughter, games, Sunday’s football [...]

Thank you, Jamie, for today’s wish prompt!
What do you wish for your family?

I wish for better physical, mental and emotional health for all of us.
I wish for smoother transitions for my son when spending time with his dad, and for him to experience less stress and anxiety in general.
I wish for more date nights with [...]

Our bright and sparkly Wishtress Jamie asks:
How do you wish to shine?
I’m just going to get right down to it.  I want to become a more beautiful person.  I want my intentions to be pure and honorable, not tarnished by greed or selfishness.  I want to act upon my plans to help others, and not [...]

I’ve missed participating in Wishcasting Wednesday the last few weeks.  We all need to take time for ourselves to reflect, explore and dream, and support the wishes and dreams of others.  Jamie’s question for us today is:
What dream do you wish to explore?
Over the past year, many of my Wednesday wishes have been about writing, [...]

Jamie Ridler’s video of her year in photos, taken for Project 365 (2009), inspired me to participate in 2010’s photo project.  What a lovely way to look back at your year and also develop photography skills and a fresh perspective on the world around you!  I’ve joined the Project 365 Flickr group and you’ll see [...]

Hello again, my friends. I’ve been a bit scarce the last month or so while attending to many matters and celebrating the holidays. I’ve also needed time to recharge and refocus.
Instead of making resolutions for the new year, I’ve chosen to put more energy into “focus areas.” Many of us in the [...]

I wish for you a safe and very happy new year!  May 2010 bring you peace and joy, healing and growth, and much love and laughter.  I have been blessed by you, my blogging friends, and look forward to a new year of shared journeys and beautiful discoveries.
Namaste,
Pamela
