bonjour, welcome to a new week! i’m refreshed after a weekend of paper writing, fireside warming, and art journal reflecting (see image to left).

can you believe that there are only 4 weeks left in 2010? we’ve gone through 48 weeks so far! i was adding to the art journal i started in mexico and labeled the various dreams i’d noted for 2010. it was fun to see some that came to fruition and observe some that are yet to come. how have yours been unfolding?

one fun thing le beau and i added to the holly day mix was a day trip to new york city december 30. he’s going up to watch some game with a ball. i’ll be window shopping, doing yoga, and noshing at my fave spots. gotta love nyc at christmas.

friday morning i am dashing to kripalu to indulge in my end of year reflection with my new love, sarah susanka. she did a post for our preparation that i thought you, too, would enjoy. promise to share my journey with you. should be a very tranquil, reflective, inspiring weekend.

wishing you a beautiful start to your week. infuse it with a scented candle, chai tea latte, cozy slippers tucked under your desk, and a moment of noticing your breath. may your day truly be merry and bright.
