It's an opportunity...each year...to shed the old
in the light of a new year, a new decade....to reinvent the new, breath deeply and reflect on what served...and what did not serve so well.
whatever that may BE....it will be revealed.
Here I am.
wowowoow, stephanie,
i want to breath in deeply
all the yummy colors in that last photo
up
there...
:-)
i look forward to being inspired More
by you in the new year.
{{ just noticed how these same colors
are also in the scarf
you are wearing in your profile shot.
they must speak to you,
must call your name
and say, "hey,
look at me!
i am over here waiting 4 U" }}

Well said, Steph - I love that we are approaching the new year - a time to reinvent and begin again. Did you know it will be a full moon on New Year's Eve? The second of the month? How's that for some kind of crazy good energy?! I'm digging it. Love your new banner and this lovely post. Hope you had a lovely holiday. xo frannie

So true...the possibilities are endless.
I adore you post about winter snow...Mellie and Olive are fast friends I see. So very Pug...they are good friends to have.
I am so sorry that I did not read your e-mail about Santa Fe until it was too late and you were already on your way...I have had very little or no computer time for the last seven weeks, while I was taking care of my parents in their home.
I just read your posts about Santa Fe...wonderful.

Love your photos and the new art, Steph! It's exciting to see the similarities and differences of our snowy winters on opposite sides of the country.
Thank you for another year of beauty and inspiration and Mango-ness. Happy New Year!
