this is my message to you for today; you all know who you are.  this is one of my favorite images by anahata katkin of Papaya.  so much so that i have several of her cards framed in my home. 

starting to pack. starting slow, with just the essentials and putting quite a bit in storage for a while so as not to overwhelm the new house.  this, however, is one of those must-bring-with-me items. 

funny thing, more than anything else, i have been listening to music since i returned since i didn't have a radio while away.  so listening to all my playlists has been awesome and a passion lighter; music is so essential to the soul.

i'm anxious to get settled and to start decorating, planting, sowing, smelling, listening, at peace and settled in once more.  the weather is still warm yet breezy so will catch my favorite season here.
love to you all, i miss you all so much.  talking to you all on a daily basis and listening to your stories.
