Movement

Life giving.Movement.My dear friend Alexis asked me "What are you doing that is life giving today friend?" SKIING! I answered! There are certain things in life that bring us life and certain things that suck life from us. Welp for me skiing is something that brings me life! :) I was able to do it at my sweet Aunt and Uncles condo at Mount Tremblent in Quebec! What a beatuiful mountain. Get this I got to ski out right from their condo to the gondola! :) SO COOL!

Home......

Canada. This place will always be home to me. Even though both of my parents live in different homes than when I lived with them and grew up.....just walking in to the airport off that plane my soul smiles and says....ahhhh. Home.

Some times you just need to go home. Clairty, unconditional love, healing, and understanding, no matter what is going on in your life.

I'm going skiing tomorrow! IN CANADA! Its going to feel wonderful! I haven't skiied for 5 years. I am ready to have the wind whipping in my face, the feeling of flying and glorious snow flying under me at the speed of light....ok maybe not light. Im not on kyrptonite or anything. :)


Here is the trail map :)

See ya on the slopes peeps! HUURRRAY!

Christmas Favorites

I love this time of year. I mean I don't know what part I love the most, but I just love it all. Family, the ambiance, the parties, the colours, decorations, the music, the food! It's all grand! Here are a few of my favorite Christmas Traditions!

1. Christmas Music:
I love the classics, The Drifters, Dean Marin, Elvis, Brenda Lee, A Charlie Brown Christmas, and throw in a little Mariah, Christina, and Celine of course.


2. Christmas Movies: Ohhh I love the Claymations, Miracle on 24th street, Elf, The Santa Clause, White Christmas, and Its a Wonderful Life

3. Warm drinks such as Egg Nog, Cider, Coffee, Hot Chocolate


4. Christmas Eve Hors dourves. After the Christmas Eve service we come home and make all sorts of Hors Dourves, and watch a Christmas movie. It's a family tradition since as far back as I can remember.



5.Stockings. My family always opens them first. It's always full of fun things like chap stick, gum, candy, and cool mini Maglights. My family has always known how to do a good stocking.

What are some of your family's favorite traditions?
