Oh man, have I ever been a Champion Reasoner!!!!!!! I used to listen to the news, hear of some tragic thing and think "now how did that happen and how can I make sure it never happens to me or anyone I love?" Talk about crazy making! Caroline delves into the mystery of life, the ethereal almost otherworldly spiritual side that is so easily dismissed in our "logical society." It's as if we live in Spock's planet, dismissing anything illogical..
If you are interested in leaving some of your logical reasoning behavior behind and embracing the spiritual side of your life, this book will help you tremendously. I found it easy to follow and some of the stories are just pure miracles, no way to explain them, just have to trust that they happened.
Read all of Caroline Myss's work. I think you will find it much easier to live amongst mere mortals such as I. Live Long and Prosper,
Something about a Halloween Parade makes you want to RUN to school!
Sam and Malcolm trotted over to join the fun.
There were little bees...
Crazy Bugs...
and Dramatic Devils of course!
Carving pumpkins is Daddy's favorite, that and roasted pumpkin seeds. Smelled so good!
Pretty Darn Good Job!
Malcolm Suffering the Indignity of a Football Costume.. but he looked so cute!
Ready to go, I am dressed as Malcolm's Girlfriend.. :) Our next big adventure will involve a certain Mr. Fox.. Cannot WAIT to see this on Thanksgiving!
Maybe it's just parenthood, maybe it's being told you have a finite time to live (but not a TRUE expiration date, just the threat of one), maybe it's having a kid later in life.. no matter.. but I try to find the beauty in each moment of my life. Creating things, events, space for adventure, all those things are priorities to me. Call me crazy, but the best times are the ones where we just are together with family or friends, doing something silly, laughing and enjoying the moment.
The beautiful moments.. they pass so quickly it is easy to lose sight of what is really valuable.
Here is a glimpse into the glorious yet so simple pleasures that make my heart sing and life worth living, a picture essay of the weekend.
Friday Night: Bollywood!
Belle Sam's bestest pal came over after school and joined the Indian feast/movie night with our family. On the menu? Samosas with cilantro chutney, garlic nann, green beans toran, mushrooms, raita, chia tea and of course, a green salad for me.
Here is a music video from the movie we watched.. totally fun and goofy.. and three hours LONG!
Malcolm was not impressed by the Blue Aliens in the movie.. Belle and Sam loved dressing up and gathered flower petals for the table..
Bollywood style dinner was a hit! A good time was had by all, and the movie was a real funny, strange mix that had us laughing quite a bit!
Saturday: Pumpkin Patch and The Great Pumpkin(s)
Our good friends the Hull Family offered to drive us all they way to Riley's Farm in Oak Glen for some old fashioned Pumpkin patch picking.
Thing 1 and Sam got along well and Thing 2 read Sam's 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid' happily. Ahh, peace in a car for over an hour, it's every parents dream! My friend Kimberly and I talked crafts and PTA .. btw she is a Master Knitter, go see her wares on EstyHERE!
Quick, before she is sold out!
We will be here when you get back....
David, Thing 2, Thing 1 and Sam
He Got One!
A great time was had by all, even with a runaway pumpkin or two..we did pretty darn good.
Thanks Hull Family, We had a Great time!
Sunday: Rockin' The Sushi Bar
After the usual visit to The Garden aka the farmers market, Sam tried her hand at some mean guitar licks.
She just looks innocent...
Later we headed off to the beach to the Sushi Gallery. My brother in law Mat is a sushi chef there.
Sam and Dad on the Pier
It was a gorgeous afternoon, light breeze, sunny and lots of folks walking around.
Off to Sushi Gallery!
Mat made me this veggie roll, it is called Purple Hill. I made short work of it, delish!
Warner opted for a mammoth thing called a Super Crunchy...
Sam, Uncle Mat and Warner
Thanks Mat!
Sam Loved the Crazy cool Bathroom
That's My Girl!
Night was falling.. we walked down to the ocean.. a gorgeous sunset awaited...
and we were headed home again..
Malcolm was so glad to see us!
