A Soul-Full Journey...Day 28 & 29

Day 28

9:00am
TRX Full Body
a lively class this morning
I enjoyed it so much I decided to stay for the next class
Hatha Yoga
it brought me back home...
gave me back my "land feet"
so to speak
Sometimes
re-entry can be a challenge for me
does this resonate with you?
I love my home
I love my family
and 
I also
I love the magic of adventure
blending these two worlds
always brings some sort of
casualty
But
after an awesome morning at the yoga studio
 my inner warrior made her way
to the forefront
and I was back 
in center

me and the little man
along with one of his friends
set up the pool.....
I started cleaning out the travel trailer
getting it ready
for the summer adventures ahead
I love that home-away-from-home
"The Gord-Lord"
*

Then came an afternoon
with a glass of wine (or two)
and a great book

This is one of my favorite things about summer
the indulgence of reading
in the middle of the day
pure magic in the garden
pure magic in my soul
as I sink into the mystery of summer

out that night for some social time
and yet
so happy when it was time to go home.
 
Day 29

just one more day left to this challenge
30 days of a Soul-filled Journey
wow
here I am
one day away from the end
But there will be so many things
I take with me...
but those are for tomorrow
today
I share with you pieces of me...
via my home

our home is over 60 years old
a bit of a grandma's house
small by today's standards
but perfect for us
with a very large back yard that 
backs on to a green belt
 I love this home and it was a gift
how was came about purchasing this home
is a story of miracles in itself
sure there are some things that if I dreamed
I would change
but for the most part
I live here with great gratitude.

lets start with the basement
guest room....ready for any one of you!
family room...the most used room in our home
downstairs hallway leading to my work space and my husbands

my sacred space

my husbands work space along with his employee

downstairs bathroom

laundry room and storage area...the one room we have left "old stye" I love it this way

basement entrance

time to go upstairs : )

little man's bedroom


 

master and mistress bedroom...where all the magic happens lol

upstairs bathroom

upstairs hallway...to everything!

this is one room I would change...a galley kitchen has it's challenges as here everyone gathers

but we make it work...we have had up to 12 people socializing in this kitchen...love has a way of making the walls stretch

dinning room

living room and the least used room in our home...it is mostly used only when we have guests or large dinner parties

I have to say our home does not just reflect me, but my husband and boys too

our back yard...heaven

our front yard...won't you join me for a cold drink by the front pond?


herb and veggie garden

fire pit

shed and yard storage

pieces of me
as seen through my home and surroundings
I am blessed
this I know to be true.
I had a friend do this a while back
and I loved going through her home with her
even though I had been there
so I thought I would give it a go
a type of gratitude meditation
capturing these images
besides
the little man and I had done house keeping
in the morning
seemed the perfect time
to be taking some photos
; )

Hope you enjoyed walking with me
in my world, my lovelies...

Love and Light
