do we ever Really grow up?

if i had my choice..that answer would be a "sort of" no! i mean, i would Never want to go back and do it all over again..i am SO happy where i am right now in life and SO happy that i had my children at a young age..so that i can still be young while they are a bit older, and enjoy the rest of my life~

but i just loved my dolls SOOOOO much when i was little, so i can hardly wait until "Fiona" arrives from Japan!!!

time be be young again and have fun with my new doll ;0)

and what is the most amazing thing about all of this??? My oldest son...I can't believe he is 24 years old now! I am so proud of him!

pure magic

it was a beautiful day in marin county and I was walking one of my clients dogs. Cassidy, an older female golden..and she lived in a big house on top of a hill in mill valley...we were walking along the ridge top of her street and suddenly I spotted something off to the side of the road..it was very small and looked like a tiny bird. So I held Cassidy back on her leash and walked closer...it was a bird, a hummingbird to be exact...I was awestruck, and I could tell that something was not quite right with the little beauty...but I ever so gently reached down and slowly...talking to her the whole time..picked her up and put her into the palm of my hand. I walked up the street some more with her in my hand, palm wide open..not quite believing what exactly it was I was seeing...a real live hummingbird in the palm of my hand! Cassidy walking ever so gingerly at my side..we came to a forest of trees at the end of her street and we stepped into the forest and placed the hummingbird onto a branch..she sat there for for a short time, and then suddenly...she flew away. She was gone.

But that memory will live with me forever....

a hummingbird..in the palm of my hand!

wow

india

it is official!

well, i have to send a shout out to Ursula, my dear friend in Germany who is making her way to India in the morning!! I will be with you in spirit, you know that~ and so look forward to hearing from you while you are there....hopefully, one day in the near future I will be making my way back as well~

but for now, we are official homeowners! We inherited a big three bedroom house in Sonoma County, in a beautiful area..and it was quite a gift i must say. It is a good feeling too. So, if anyone is interested in renting our house..contact me!! We won't be able to live in it until my husband retires in 7 years, but it will be our home half of the year and the other half will hopefully be in "you know where"!!! INDIA!!

Namaste~~~~~
