Marriage~

I was married to Andy exactly 6 months ago to the hour. Six months of bliss I might add. We have been celebrating all day, and I have openly declared us "dorks." I came home from a walk on the beach to 6 beautiful white roses and a card. I'm taking Andy out tonight for a romantic dinner at an Italian Restuarant.

As I walked on the beach this afternoon, I was in a state of bliss. So happy! A young man playfully threw a football at me. How delightful (I actually caught it!)  As I was smiling about this interchange, a little boy, perhaps five at the most, holding a skim board  looked at me and said, "Perfect conditions, don't you think?" His presence, sense of self, and clarity struck me and made me pause. "Yes, they are," I responded. Then I looked down at his skim board...it was a black and white yin/yang symbol!

Ah, God's presence is everywhere ~

I encourage all of you who are reading this blog to take a moment and ask where is God speaking to you? Is it a Cardinal who crosses your path and reminds you of a loved one? Is it a glance or gesture from your husband, wife, partner, daughter, son or friend that captures your heart? I believe that we must be in the present moment, fully awake, and open to the messages that are being sent to us by our carnate beings.

Are you awake?
