Happy Saturday!!

"Choosing Succulence is a deliberate act of personal revolution. It means waking up! Embracing your true self, studying your patterns and letting out your most alive self . We all have one!
(SARK~ Succulent Wild Woman)

 

I have gotten all my SARK books out and am feasting on them now. They make me smile, laugh, and believe in things that once upon a time, I would never have dreamed. It is a joy*full and wonder*full day!

I have a new haircut, my little car is full of gas, my larder is full of good things to eat, and my little sanctuary is clean, warm, welcoming, & cozy. It is a beautiful Saturday afternoon. I have all my windows open and there is a slight breeze. I can hear leaves falling off the trees, it is a sublime sound.

Today is the 4th anniversary of my divorce and I intend to celebrate. (Not sure how yet, but it is going to happen! *LOL*) This has been such an incredible time in my life. I have said it before and I will say it (I’m sure) again, I am so grateful for my marriage and divorce from Michael. I know without a doubt, I had to go through it! I would not be the person I am or be WHERE I am if I had not had that gift.

I’m not saying it was easy by any stretch of the imagination. There was a great deal of pain, confusion, despair and at times feelings of complete hopelessness. However, not only did I survive, I THRIVED!

My life now is not perfect! I have a few problems and dilemmas with which I am dealing, but I am happier now than I have ever been and that is extraordinary  gift. I have such abundance in my life (again, which has nothing whatsoever to do with money). My heart is full, I have what seems to be a perpetual smile on my face, and I am at peace.

I bought my turkey last night…HUZZAH! I am starting my own tradition this year. I am going to have my very own Thanksgiving. Last year was my very first Thanksgiving all alone and it was horrible. Not t mention my oven died about an hour after putting the turkey in. THIS year, now that I have the first one over, I am ready to celebrate! I can fix all my favourite dishes, watch what I want, listen to what I want ….heck I may even treat myself to a movie(I really want to see Déjà Vu). I have so much to be thankful for this year!

Next weekend I will be decorating for Christmas and begin my baking. I have not done any holiday baking in years and I am just itching to get started!

Well, time to decide what to do to celebrate today. Have a marvellous weekend. Be sure to do at least one thing that makes you happy and brings you joy.

Love, Light and Laughter,
Ame
