Taking a little time to unfurl. Who knows what sort of new growth this new season will bring.
Chocolate Cherry cupcakes procured from the freezer, melted white and chocolate chips on top. A dark Cab. Rich and delicious. Happy Valentine’s Day. May the decadent properties of cacao be with you.
Today is just a quiet snowfall kind of day. And taxes, tax prep day.
When I’m finally crawling out on the other side of my moontime I can’t help but throw the doors open, turn on the tunes and have a good old solo dance party. My husband says the neighbors probably think I’m crazy. I’m betting they don’t even notice. But rain snow or shine it’s gotta happen. So here it is. Tunes on. Doors wiiiiide open, cooped up no more. Embracing the changes that have happened over the last series of weeks, a sweet release and a coming back to self. I know you feel this ladies. Don’t be shy. Shy is boring. Embrace your dance party days. #exquisiteselfcare #letyourfreakflagfly #newmoonenergy #embraceyourladyparts !!!!!!
