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

Simple Woman’s Daybook – January 25, 2010

Jan 25th, 10 / 1 Comment

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 company, good times.

I am wearing…brown dress shoes, medium brown slacks, a muted brown, green and cream colored top with a gothic design and a cream cardigan.

I am remembering…that I have financial obligations I must attend to.

I am going…to finally decide on a format for gratitude journaling this week.

I am currently reading…The Brutal Telling by Louise Penny. I have fallen in love with her writing and recommend her books to everyone.

I am hoping…and praying that my son get over the stomach flu/issues he’s been having.

On my mind…my beautiful friend Jane and the loss of her daughter. I wish I could make it all better for her.*

Noticing that…While I still love stylish clothes, comfort is becoming more important to me.

Pondering these words…“The fault is in the blamer. Spirit sees nothing to criticize.” ~ Rumi

From the kitchen…leftover spaghetti and giant, yummy meatballs from last night’s dinner. Add a little salad and some breadsticks and wa-la!

Around the house…I’m going to go through the papers, magazines and boxes sitting in front of my desk. It’s truly a ridiculous sight! I’m also on a mission to get through the laundry pile this week!

One of my favorite things…the soft, fluffy “stay at home” socks Santa brought me for Christmas.
