one beautiful bright sunny December day
we thought it would be a nice time to explore the seaside town of Rockport
as we neared the coast
the clouds rolled in
snow blew and swirled around us
it looked like a nor’easter had hit
strange, it wasn’t in the forecast
turns out, that day a snow cloud decided to hang out over just this particular town
while the rest of Massachusetts was crystal clear

it was magical
people went about their shopping, dashing into coffee shops for warmth
the holiday lights twinkled, there was a party-like atmosphere about the town

 

while this photo is far from perfect
I love it for the memory
one I have thought about every Christmas since

a simple gift

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

waking up

“It takes only a moment to breathe, 
a moment to be still, and just like that,
 something in me settles, softens,
 makes space for imperfection.
 The harsh voice of judgement 
drops to a whisper and 
I remember again 
that life isn’t a relay race,
 that we will all cross the finish line, 
that waking up to life 
is what we were born for.  
As many times as I forget, 
catch myself charging forward
 without even knowing where I’m going, 
that many times I can make the choice 
to stop, to breathe, and be,
 and walk slowly into the mystery”.

“If you celebrate your differentness, the world will, too. It believes exactly what you tell it – through the words you use to describe yourself, the actions you take to care for yourself, and the choices you make to express yourself. Tell the world you are a one-of-a-kind creation who came here to experience wonder and spread joy. Expect to be accommodated.”
– Victoria Moran
