Today I stood in the lobby of my apartment building, still sweating from my workout, hair pulled back in a wavy mess more resembling a nest than anything, when my fiance surprised me with flowers. It was at that moment I felt blessed....not solely on account of my extraordinary, constantly thoughtful, enormously loving partner in life, but for a lifetime of receiving flowers. My father set the bar relatively high when it comes to lavishing his daughter with trinkets of love and floral gestures. But today I was struck by the power a flower has to make a girl, even swathed in her sweaty gym clothes, feel like a lady.
Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

Some moments simply carry you away to a place free from the manmade world, free from worry, conflict or confusion, free from the past and the future. This place for me is often found in nature. I simply cannot experience anything but the present moment when I turn my face up to the suddenly warm sun, feeling the fragrant buds of spring tickling my nose and breathing in the rebirth of this joyous season. Ahhhh....spring is here!
