A Whole Lotta New...

Come to the edge.
We might fall.

Come to the edge.
It's too high!

Come to the edge!
And they came,
and he pushed,
and they flew.
-- Christopher Logue

Oh, the thrill of spreading those wings and flying...

This month has been full of new experiences.

some joyful.

some painful.

Feeling the beautiful growing pains of a heart expanding over time...

But it reminds me that I'm ALIVE

and more importantly

AWAKE!

Checked off a few items from my

"bucket list"

which started with a free adrenaline rush

i.e. Catered my first gig.

*Thank you Jodi, what an honor to serve you! And thank you Stacy, for your slicing, dicing, and mad serving skills*

Started the Italian lessons =)

*continua a splendere bellas dolce!*

Learned to knit.

my first project: a scarf of course!

Learned to sew.

my first project: a mini smock apron for Sophia

*just look at those ADORE-able lil' owls*

Attended the International Balloon Fiesta

and

kept tradition going with an all day frolic

at McCall's Pumpkin Patch...

I'm discovering more beauty in "change"

and the "new."

true metamorphosis.

Late blossoms from my neighbor's rose bushes

were plump and full just the other day

and now have wilted and gone.

Life is like this I think.

I want to make the most of it.
