Spiritual Refreshment

Spending time outdoors, in natural settings, is so so important to me. It is where I can really connect with my soul and realize and appreciate the beauty of life. When I walk through the woods or lay on the beach, I quiet down listen to the sounds of mother nature, and let go. I think about all of the important things in life, which aren't streaming in through my blackberry, and thank God that I am alive with so much love around me.

One of Brian and my favorite things to do in the fall is hike. It is of course, too chilly for the beach in New England, and hiking is the next best thing. Well no, skiing, then hiking...

Here are some photos of Devil's Den in Weston, CT I took last weekend. What a nice day it was walking through the woods with my love and admiring the foliage and all the little miracles of life (sorry for being cheesy!!).
where we leave our polluted moter vehicles.

Spiritual Refreshment, I love that...


looking up and the pretty little leaves, swaying to the music of the wind...

some green I thought was cool!

Me and B, so happy to be spending our day together in peace

the sounds of the stream could put you to sleep.

the reflection is so neat, like the biggest mirror you've ever seen


pretty country homes decked our for Halloween

If you can, take time this weekend for some spiritual refreshment, you have it wherever you are in this world!

Halloween and Hiking :)

Halloween this year was great! Even though Brian and I were a little under the weather with colds, we hosted a few great friends at our apartment, saw some great costumes, ate yummy food, apple spice cupcakes and chocolate cream pie, and drank blood orange margaritas! I was trying to convince Brian that the blood orange would be good for our colds and that the tequila was just an added bonus :)


That's me as an equestrian (my ballerina costume did NOT work out at the last minute so I put the above together in two minutes from items in my closet) and Brian as Clark Kent (he was missing the glasses).
WEAK I know :(

Lauren and Rob as a witch and Rob as WT

Robyn as a Lady Bug

On Sunday, we woke up and took the prettiest hike at Treetops Park



Me declaring myself a "tree-kisser"


I was so excited to see pink trees scattered around!



So Pretty!!

This week is really busy for me! I have my first event where I will be showcasing my items at a benefit featuring vendors from around the area and a silent auction which I will be donating a basket to. I'm so excited and am going to be working my little tushy off all week preparing for it. If anyone has any suggestions on this type of affair, please leave them for me!!

Happy Monday :)
