(1.11) five on friday.
1. I attended a dinner last night honoring the President of the company that I work for. He exited the company as President at the end of the year (he's still an owner & will sit on the board). It was a wonderful surprise when the founder of the company (the man who hired me 14 years ago) showed up. To have both leaders – who are so different, yet alike in their influence on my work life & values – in the same room was such beautiful closure.
2. I moved my meditation altar (shown above) back to my living room. I had moved it to my bedroom in early December, but kept feeling like I was fighting the space. It's still not in quite the right space in the room – but it's much better. Funny how that works, eh? (note – I know that the term "altar" will annoy some people. Not going to argue. To each his or her own.)
3. I fell in my driveway yesterday morning, thanks to a sheet of ice. I'm grateful that it didn't affect my hip & back. I was a little sore yesterday, but feel much better today!
4. I absolutely, positively, MUST finish my 2012 Project Life this weekend. Honestly? I'm soooo over it. I love the project, but I don't like looking backward. I'm hating my Dec spreads for some reason. I'm ready to move on. Like, RIGHT NOW. Impatient much??
5. I've been gently re-directing my eating back to more green, more raw, more clean, more whole. The other night, I roasted some sweet potatoes, sauteed some kale & seitan, wrapped it all in corn tortillas and called it delicious. Austin & I ate every last bit. Good food is good.
Happy Friday friends!

loved every bit of your 2012 PL
my goal for 2013 is more kale : )
i also just switched to coconut oil, i think i read on your blog that you whip it?? Do you still do it? Do you find it beneficial?

Yay for kale!! And yes on coconut oil. I tossed it in my kitchenaide to whip for the jar that I use in place of lotion. My one suggestion – don't put it back into the same jar if it's a narrow opening. I have a hard time digging out the last bits!

Seems like your meditation alter would feature a wine glass.
