52 weeks of blessings;

Today:

I’m feeling: cold on the outside but warm in my heart. I can’t believe the change in the weather in a matter of hours! I love it!

I’m listening to: the wind howling outside.

I’m thinking of / wondering why: what I need to do this upcoming week.

I’m reading: Fairy Tales from Around The World. A lovely birthday treat!

I’m looking forward to: a free weaving class at the Lionbrand Studio this coming Thursday! Yay!!! The upcoming holidays!!!! So excited! I already feel the spirit of the holidays! 😀

I’m learning to/practicing to/working on/embracing: seeing the every day miracles especially on the days I get down about being unemployed.

I’m enjoying: Fall weather, playing my favourite Christmas album — the Nutcracker! Yeah, yeah, yeah, I love the holidays like that. 😀

I’m creating/planning to create: final month projects for the HPKCHC group until 2015 and starting Christmas gifts. I’m not making that many so I should be done in good time.

I’m grateful for: spending receiving love from my cousin Sabs and my friend Porsche this past week. Tangible and intangible. So grateful that they’re part of my support crew. God revealing Himself and will in unexpected ways. A rainy, cozy day in bed. All day, Saturday. It’s been more than 15 years since I’ve done that just because. It was glorious! The unwavering support of the people in my corner. My mom who I think deserves her own comedy show. After a tough battle this week past, she spent every day making me laugh until I cried. I laughed until I fell off my bed a couple of times. The lady’s a nutter! 😀 ❤

Around the house are: Mini messes. But I’m going to take care of that soon though. That’s what I get for lazing around yesterday. 😀

In my kitchen: More pumpkin soup. Sluuuurppp!

I’m planning later in the coming week to: job hunt. Go to the farmer’s market. Work on my Christmas crafting. Start weaving a practice scarf. Meet my work baby Nikki for brunch on Saturday coming. Possibly walk the High Line outdoor garden length with Laurie-Ann

I’m wishing you: the very best of Sundays and a wonderful week ahead.

It’s been a few Sundays since the last post but today:

I’m feeling: hopeful.

I’m listening to: or trying to listen to God’s voice for direction.

I’m thinking of / wondering why: the prompting I got from my “sister” T to finish the personalized wellness plans I’m designing for both of us.

I’m reading: The Anne of Green Gables series. I need light, happy reading right now. And how beautiful are these cover illustrations?!!!!

I’m also reading Everyday Vegetarian. I’ve been really loving this cook-book. Easy to find ingredients and recipes that are chockful of taste. I should put this on my Amazon wishlist.

I’m looking forward to: making some more contacts next week and job hunting some more.

I’m learning to/practicing to/working on/embracing: Just accept and enjoy this particular time in my life.

I’m enjoying: good sleep, good food, crafting. Watching the movie “Coraline”. Enjoyed this so much! Great illustration on appreciating what you have.

I’m creating/planning to create: a cable hat, a cable scarf for T and new natural dye baths.

I’m grateful for: time to relax and craft. Encouragement from my aunt via phone. Enjoying both Stitches East (in CT) and Rhinebeck (upstate NY) craft & food festivals. It was great to get out of the city for both trips. Finding an extra $350 worth of travel funds so I’ll have transit card travel for a while.

Around the house are: Open windows to let in the Autumn breeze.

In my kitchen: steamed brussels sprouts, baked sweet potato fries, oven baked buttermilk chicken, pumpkin and peas soup and savory feta muffins. Yeah … now that my cooking mojo is back, I’m going insane. 😀

I’m planning later in the coming week to: job hunt, finish my personalised wellness plan, finish my cable hat, meet my cousin Sabs for dinner and also get together with my friend Porshe.
