1. revisiting one of my favorite artists' sites (brian andreas) and finding new inspiration, connection with myself, and the knowledge that even though i have changed so much and strayed a bit here and there, i have stayed true to my core
2. sunny mornings
3. seeing friends at FIT
4. lea's dressing style developing
5. good, good, good days where i have patience and energy
6. making plans to see friends and family
7. finding new and creative ways to communicate with jeff
8. my ever-growing bond with lea
9. the excitement i have for this growing baby in my growing belly
10. finding a number of sites online that inspire me and sing to my sense of style, design, philosophy, and playfulness as a parent
11. knowing the rain will bring more green
12. my new cookbook: the french laundry, and how much i've already learned just by browsing through the initial pages
13. the fact that i'm back to cooking, baking, and creating in the kitchen. i've missed it so! (so has my family)

nugget: this is from said artist in #1. his stories always hit my heartstrings louder each living year

No Regret
"I sometimes wake in the early morning & listen to the soft breathing of my children & I think to myself, this is one thing I will never regret & I carry that quiet with me all day long."

with regards to tara's post about making intentions in sync with the cycle of the moon.....
i have decided that starting this week and for this cycle i will be focusing on cleansing, filtering, and spring cleaning my home. there are so many projects i want to work on, but before doing so i want to clear out the old, unwanted, in-the-way clutter and crap and start fresh. so, this is my intention, promise, focus, whatever for this cycle. the first place i will tackle is my closet! arg!!!

thanks for the inspiration and idea tara!
