A peek inside my life right now...

These past few days have been such a mixture of emotions...vulnerability, anger, bitterness, hope, laughter and letting go. These are tough times over here for us;  the fabric of life that clothes us all. I am not going to pretend that we have everything together...we don't! We are making decisions day by day. There are boxes everywhere and ...Tara's nursery is all packed up already!! (Thanks so much for all your wonderfully supportive comments re. my last post). And tonight I started on my books. Here's a peek at my life right now...

I bought this book (actually  a museum catalogue) many years ago when I went to see this exhibition at the High Museum of Art . I absolutely love Jacob Lawrence . It was such a treat to see his work in person....his compositions, forms and colors are superb and above all...he is a master storyteller.I found myself reading this book for about a half hour tonight instead of packing up!

Quiet moments stolen away here and there...after Tara goes to sleep. I have been writing my dreams and hopes and burdens. I find it so healing to  lay everything down. It really does wonders for me.

Enjoying my Tara. We spend as much time outdoors as we can...The weather is cooling down but there are still pockets of sunshine here and there that we take full advantage of.

 Above all...my heart is wide open...in pain and in joy; it is wide open to life...
