hi bella,
sorry it had taken me some time to write back...and thank you for your kind, encouraging words. i am feeling much better and clearer and grounded.

it's been a busy bunch of time lately - i had my first yoga training weekend, thanksgiving (happy fifth anniversary by the way - what did you two end up doing??)
and then craziness up until my cousin's wedding this past weekend. it was beautiful, and i am so glad it's over. it's going to take a few days for it to settle in that it's done and that there is nothing more to do for it!

what else? my trip to peru is coming up and i am very excited and nervous and ready for it...there is some stuff rising to the surface that i would like to release and to just be far away, in the jungle, is something that i am looking forward to.

hmm, i sound kind of boring today i think. but i'm going to keep forging ahead with thoughts as they flow - in fact, this is one of my meditations that i'm supposed to be practicing - setting the clock for ten minutes and writing whatever comes out without editing or fixing grammar or re-reading what comes out. aren't you happy to be on the receiving end?!

i wonder how you are and what you're up to. things here are quiet - today, finally, my mind is quiet(ish) and i am happy to not be rushing off this morning but rather spending some time at home working, and being here.

family stuff around the wedding got a bit much, and it was disappointing that my brother missed the ceremony - they pulled up fifteen minutes after the ceremony. sad, but true. actually, i don't think i feel like delving into more of that right now.

i love you very much and i hope that all is well and i'm sorry my post is so boring.
