A new faery has joined the fleet! New energy, new magic! Join me in celebrating all the big (and little) changes that are happening in your life!

The Butterfly Faery!

My Everyday Magic

*Finally becoming a MEM faery after months of crafting and planning!

*Wearing my faery wings out all day – on a hike, to the grocery store and to my son’s school.

*Releasing other people’s baggage that I’ve been carrying and moving forward with strength and confidence.

*A commitment to listen to what my body is telling me.

*Warmer weather means buds on the trees and the bulbs are sprouting!

*The birds have come back – cardinals and orioles are outside my window!

*My 8yo son did the best I’ve ever seen him do at capoeira yesterday!

*My brand new jar for yarn scraps that makes me smile every time I see it!

That’s My “New” Magic, What’s Yours? Post in comments below. Have a joy-filled day!!!

So I thought it would be fun to focus on Replenishing Ourselves!

It could be in catching up on sleep, or it could be on getting your body moving! Whatever replenishment YOU need right now, give it to yourself. You deserve it!

For me, its:

*Leaving the TV and other stuff off tonight to get everyone to bed early!

*Finally have our propane delivered so I can cook!

*Making some nourishing and cleansing meals (lots of veggies, hearty proteins and whole grains, lots of GINGER and garlic!!! YUM)

*When we get our propane all hooked up, I’m gonna take a long HOT shower.

*Planning on starting up with T-Tapp again soon as well…

My Everyday Magic

*Salmon & Quinoa salad that I made!!! (Click HERE for the recipe!)

*Lots of new veggies to make some healing soup with!

*A jar full of pickled mangos, my absolute FAVORITE!!!!! Thank you to Amanda for making my tastebuds happy! =)

*Thinking about my dad this morning and how I haven’t seen him in awhile, and then receiving a call from him just because he “was thinking about me and wanted to chat with me”! Then having him show up at the store to thank me for the work I’ve done creating his website by giving me $100!!! I love my dad. =)

*Gardening inspiration and planning floating around in my mind!

That’s my magic & replenishment today! What’s yours? Share in the comments below and have a beautiful and nourishing day!

Musical Mondays!

* Organizing my stacks of music and buzzing with song energy!

* Corresponding with a psychologist who advocates the power of music in his healing work. His book, Nurturing Your Child with Music is a wealth of ways to enrich your home with music.

* Writing in my music blog about how we are all natural music-makers.

* Grabbing the ukulele to do “Yellow Submarine” and on the verse where ‘the band begins to play’, adding air-instruments—clarinet, tuba, piccolo, etc.!

Magic and music are simply everywhere, and I warmly welcome hearing some of yours!

Exhausted Magic…

I’m so tired that some things that may not generally make it onto a magic list are appearing here today!

*comfy pants that can double as pajamas when I’m conked on the couch.

*a quiet house.

*a dishwasher that just finished cleaning all the dirty dishes.

*a morning to myself with all the kiddos off at their respective activities.

*the bookshelves. They really make me happy and nourish my soul-so colorful and laid out perfectly. A feast for the eyes from the comfort of my couch.

*pillows. oh how I love a sea of pillow across which I may drape myself.

*warm, clean blankets that smell wonderful and feel delightful.

*my glasses! I just recovered them and they will help me read in my current state of exhaustion.

*the ability to take a nap if I so choose! I won’t-but that’s not the point…I can!

*twilight…that space where you are kind of lucid dreaming in which your mind just wanders….a powerful place from which to create!

*an easy day.

*tomorrow is Dr. Suess day at the kiddos school and they get to wear pajamas all day-that makes me giggle.

What is your magic? Sleepy or not, please share it in the comment box below!

“Turning It Over to the Angels”

Sometimes you just gotta surrender…this is a lesson I’m CONSTANTLY learning! I’m holding on too tight, I’m caring too much, I’m taking myself too seriously, I’m trying to CONTROL too much. Sometimes the best laid plans….are not what you’re supposed to be doing (at least not in the TIMING you want!)

Today I have PLENTY to turn over to the Angels so they can take care of it for me. I’m taking myself OUT of the equation! And there is definitely FREEDOM in that! Care to join me? What issues are you struggling with that the Angels can take of?

I’m Letting the Angels Take Care of:

* Making sure the perfect dog finds us in the perfect timing (Oh! How I’ve been holding on too tight to this!)

* My fun and wonderful plans for the weekend that may or may not happen due to family sickness.

* The Nature and Children Presentation I REALLY want to attend tomorrow but can’t find a sitter for.

* All the plans I’ve been making lately but having to change due to family illness or weather.

I TRUST IN DIVINE TIMING! THANK YOU, ANGELS!

My Everyday Magic

* Reading all the MAGIC here this morning!

* Hearing that MaryJo is experiencing Pre-birth communication! A PASSION of mine!

* Exploring the woods behind our house with my boys and discovering a stream! (And good ol’ kitty following us every step of the way!)

* Going with the Flow….or at least ATTEMPTING to!

* It’s my FATHER’S Birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY POPSIDOODLES! (And future Grandpa Fairy! )

What’s YOUR magic today? And what you SURRENDERING?

I love you!
