home again gratitude

i am grateful for:

1) eyes on the world yoga in providence, ri. truly awesome place. esp. shannah and tom. also getting to talk about old-school ashram days. omg, the crazy ashram kitchen days. cooking for 500. in meditative, flirty, connected, peaceful, chaotic bliss.

2) ok. this is only because i trust you, but… friends on dvd. seasons 9 & 10 from santa. i was laughing out loud on the train. totally embarrassed (plus embarrassed to be embarrassed); totally psyched for freshish chandler jokes.

3) neruda

4) remembering to dive back into myself, to touch inner home base. thank you my chicas for being reminders.

5) this feeling of expansion. it’s not entirely comfy but it is good, i think.

6) spontaneous prayers

7) grace

8) my mom’s lasagna

9) new pink gnome pajamas

10) that sweet feeling from praying, when you have begun to open to your own nectar as the desires pour out tender and real. we bless ourselves in prayer. and omg that is the antidote to so many harsh things.

11) seeing m & w today. love being able to talk to you, my sweet smart saggit sistah.

12) sustaining texts

13) “I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet.” — Mahatma Gandhi

14) playing farmhouse with w.

15) duets

16) under the tuscan sun. yes, really. heart, sunflowers, water metaphors, italia, italia homme, diane lane, mother mary, and a baby owl. what more could you want?

17) cleansing movie tears

18) the end-of-day phone call (fully realizing that this means i’ve now referenced friends, UTTS, and WHMS)

19) “trust yourself, mamasita” – lt

20) mary karr
