Off to the races!!

Not! This is how I usually start a day off, slow lazy mornings...waiting for the espresso machine to heat up...in the meantime browsing the internet. In the past (before I discovered 'blogging') I used to just do the usual email-facebook routine. Oh how my life has changed now! :D Okay, maybe a bit of exaggerating. Soo this morning is already a good one...why you ask? Because I have already discovered a new website that I just LOVE. Everything about it is all that I am after, and the author...well, what can I say, I think I adore her. Saw her on Oprah not too long ago, and was actually surprised, by her seeming groundedness, realness, style, passion, and articulateness. I am a Gwyneth fan. And the site I speak of is:

www.goop.com (nourish the inner aspect) by none other than Gwyneth herself!! I love when I discover things like this, it absolutely inspires me.

Here is a recent photo I took that inspired me to see how beautiful life is!

That's it for me today...thanks for looking!

New to this! Hello out there!

Wow a place on the web to call my own?? Who would've thought! (Yes, I know, I am soo behind!) I am stumbling onto this kind of accidentally...recently, I made a New Year's resolution to reconnect with my creative side again. Some way of expressing myself, a way to connect and feel connected. Then I stumbled upon 'Stumble Upon' and to make a long story short, was inspired by a few blogs I saw and read. I was amazed at how so many people were doing this and it seemed to really fit into what I was looking to do. So here I am :) It's a little unnerving to think....who in the heck would bother to read what I write/post?! I mean, me? little ol' me, rambling away...well at the very least my husband would probably read it! :)

To start this off, some pictures!!

This is me, with my hubby, Ian. (december.08)

This is where we live. (aka 'our little nest')
Our first home (Cloverdale, BC)

I think that makes a good intro...short & sweet (like me :P)

Thanks for looking and reading :) Now off to make some dinner...ribs, potatoes, and coleslaw. Yumm.
