My Kitchen...

Today I was given a gift to pick out a few kitchen items for my birthday last week and it was so exciting! I love to play in my kitchen and make homemade "love." Can't wait to get home and play!!!

Occasions...

I realized today after my birthday passed yesterday that years ago I needed occasions to be kind to myself. And this year on my birthday I had to work, but that was okay because I didn't need that special occasion to find a reason to do nice things for myself. I am learning in each passing moment to love and do sweet things for myself ~ just because!

Happy...

Happy Birthday to ME...

A Gift...

I've been in the kitchen most of the day cooking six meals and desserts to give as a gift to my oldest son. His birthday was Friday but he is coming up tomorrow to celebrate. Cooking meals is not easy for most people and Matt and his girlfriend are no exception. They get home from work ( no kids yet) and aren't really interested in cooking and they just go for the instant, easy stuff. So who wouldn't love a weeks work of meals to eat and freeze. I hope he does!!

Happy Birthday Matthew ~ you've been a joy for 31 years

Loving you All-ways

My Baby...

Another birthday is upon us. My baby turns eighteen today! The passing years leave me in awe of how fast it seems to go by. My daughter has grown to a wonderful young woman. She loves life and is so funny and adventurous. Who knew when I named her it would not even begin to encompass all that she is. I look forward to watching her life continue to unfold and will be forever grateful I'm available to be a participant in her life. 

Happy Birthday My "Lovey"... Love Mom

My Son...

This picture reminds me of my middle son, on this special day he turns twenty one.

~ Happy Birthday David ~

David asked a lot of questions about the world. He loved storms and anything having to do with the weather. We use to go frog hunting and nature walks. He loved mother nature! Later he became a writer and a self taught artist and is awesome at what he does. He is a quiet soul but has many passions that you only need to ask and he has much to say on the subjects. Making up a new kind of sandwich is always something he enjoys. 

You bring light and joy to my life everyday ~ you are loved my sweet David ~ love Mom : )

Happy Birthday...

I'm singing... Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday dear Nancy, happy birthday to me!

I decided I could celebrate myself, celebrate all that I add to the world, all that I was, all that I am and all that I will be. That's a lot of celebrating! It has been quit a ride for the last 53 years and I am looking forward to spending another 53 with all my wonderful, accepting, loving, family and friends. I am also stretching myself to opening up more to life and expanding the abundance that life is offering. 

It's never to late! 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANCY ~ YOU ARE LOVED!!!

Happy Birthday...

This picture pretty much sums up my birthday...

It was just AWESOME!

A happy birthday family event.........

March is the month of spring flowers, warming weather, and lighter days. But it is also the month of my family birthdays. It starts with mine, then my middle son, my sister, my daughter and would have been my oldest son next (but he was three weeks late and was born on April 5th) but I still consider him born in March - because that was my intention.

Looking back over the years I never fully saw March as a month of celebration. I was always doing way to much for to many people and not happy about it but not ready to change. It was getting the party planned and all that included, while my birthday barely acknowledged. As the children have grown older and circumstances have become easier (because of being ready to finally change) I am feeling the hint of celebration. To embrace each person, and that would include myself on their special day and just ENJOY, ENJOY, ENJOY!!! I look forward to the years to come but for today I will bath in the WONDER of the present moment as we celebrate another birthday today. And Happy Birthday to us ALL..........
