Outside my window…

I am thinking…
about my mom, my sister, my best friend and just pondering life and winter and Lent.

I am thankful…
for the season of Lent and hoping to make the most of it this year.

I am Pondering…
Thinking a lot about Mr. Pete’s grandmother.  A new Facebook page for Mr.  Pete’s family started this week and I’ve seen more pictures and learned more about his family’s past. One of Pete’s uncles committed suicide and his death was just devastating to his mother. I just have it on my heart today to pray for Grandma Margaret tonight, although she’s been dead since 1968 and I’m sure she is at peace with all of it now.  Still… what a horrible thing to have to live through and I just feel sad that she had to.


In the kitchen…
Going to make some blender bread today from my Joyful
 Cookbook – completely grain free!

I am wearing…
Black yoga pants, black T-shirt and a grey sweater.

I am going…

• to walk or work out every day but Thursday. 
• Speak at the pre-cana conference on Saturday.
• Record flute music for an upcoming CD. Here’s a sample of our CD from a few years ago.
