Thanksgiving is almost here! Where have these last few weeks of the year gone? Tonight I start all the meal prep for tomorrow and slow baking the turkey. Yum! There are plenty of things I'm feeling grateful this year. I intend to find a warmly lit corner to curl into and create a few Mandalas especially to express the wholeness I'm feeling. I have a few ideas swirling about as well, that I need to sit with and decide how to move forward with. Intention was/is my word for the year and I'm feeling like it is finally coming into play now. Lighting candles now. xo Alicia

The weekend was busy as was the start of the week. We threw my sister a baby shower on Saturday. By Monday she was in labor and just before the day faded away my nephew was born. I also started Julie Gibbon's 5 Days of Mandala Magic and I LOVE it! xo Alicia

It looks like I've finally gotten to the other side of the last few weeks negative/ugly energy. Parts of last week I dealt with sadness and a few tears too. This definitely felt like part of the pull and give of the Full Moon. Looking forward to the last weeks of the year. xo Alicia
