today

Today feels sacred and it reminded me to start doing “My Sacred Life” images again. I missed this little exercise of slowing down and spotting the beauty and wonder in each day. Cause it’s there, even when life feels all topsy turvy, like it has lately.

Something about the fall light… crisp days making me pull on jackets and scarves already… and sipping apple cider make me daydream about what life with a child will be like. How I can’t wait to show her all of this awesome stuff.

    hi penelope,

    i don’ t know you but must tell you that i am so excited for your baby and pregnancy (which does seem odd to say to someone i don’t know =). my daughter, masha, was born last november on thanksgiving day. reading your entries about your baby and pregnancy are such a delight to read as it still seems like i was just pregnant yesterday. so, thank you for sharing your thoughts regarding your little one and pregnancy. it is a delight to read and be reminded of what an amazing time it truly is. best of luck to you and your family during this lovely time. – kira

    ahhh… What I would give just for one cold day where hot apple cider a sweater and a fire would be appealing. Beautiful images.

    Awesome is such a perfect word for what you’re describing. It’s overused, really quite tragically, but at its heart it’s a perfect idea: something so welcome and powerful that it fills you with awe.

    I read once that “awful” used to mean the same thing, and when I think about it, that actually seems like the more sensible term. I still like “awesome,” though.

  8. They are great as always,specially the shadow one!!!
    I would really happy to know your idea about my new work,thank you :)
