finding that place of peace

Ever have these A-Ha moments that light you up? More and more frequently I’m having these glimpses into what true contentment and happiness means for me. How it shows up. What does it. Who inspires it. It almost feels as though I’m looking at my world through someone else’s eyes. My view isn’t clouded by frustration or overwhelm or anxiety. It is clear as day. I have to say…I’m really loving it. I love the way it feels when I’m in that moment and able to appreciate it. To soak in the goodness of it. I think for so much time, every decision I made was steeped in someone else’s expectation. These days, I am choosing to live my life in a way that encompasses MY values…compassion, connection, growth, love and humanity. So I spend a lot of time connecting with my people. I wander my garden with my husband at least twice a day for our garden tour ritual. I’ve been cooking more meals for us, which is sometimes hard to do with a husband that cooks as well as Rob does, but I think he’s been enjoying this new exploration as much as I am. We are eating from the garden – so many greens, onions, herbs. I am eagerly anticipating the day we can make peas + prosciutto with the peas from our yard. I have somehow found a pace of life that agrees with me. I’m not bored, I have time to read, I’ve been doing some garden consulting, I’ve handed off at least 300 of my little plant babies to be planted all through Seattle. I’m delving into new topics, I’ve recently built a website…and I’m fully hooked. Anyone want me to design a website for them? Ha! Truly…I am completely infatuated with my life. It’s taken a lot of work to get here…to my 42 years of age, my 15 years of marriage, to my happiness. Now that I’ve found it…I’m not letting go.
