food, magic, & hearts

last friday we {marte, mercedes, and i} got together for a little photo shoot

in my wild backyard. after a few hours of working we noticed that 

our brains were slowing down, and our energy was dipping...

so we brought out lunch: bread, cheese, honeycomb, balsamic vinegar, apples, and pears.

i could have this meal all day every day. it never gets old.

we spoke to each other from the heart once

our bellies had some food in them, and our blood sugar was up again.

there were intentions of getting back to work, but the afternoon

was so lovely that we never got around to all of the other fabulous

ideas that had been flowing earlier. it's nice to take advantage

of a lovely fall afternoon with dear friends. 

i will never forget this meal. ever.

this morning i am thinking of magic, and how my heart often aches

for a bit of magic...some days i'm better at creating a magical world

than other days. today is one of those down days

where i ask myself so many questions, trying to get at what is

keeping me from experiencing the hopes and dreams that are in my heart.

i keep listening to interviews with and speeches by this woman. 

she really is quite amazing...and quite inspiring.

so today i'll keep digging into my heart and soul to find a way

to bring a little more magic into my life.
