i'm ready for fall

I love the fall. The crunchy leaves, the colors, the smells, the feelings.

I love the mornings, and the evenings.
Hot apple cider makes it wonderful. I'm ready for fall.

are you?

hair color

I think I will be single forever. Although, it is not my desire. I don't know why I think this way. This year has been lonely and confusing. I'm looking at my hair, and I have tons of gray hair. No joke. My great-grandmother was completely gray by the time she was 28, and my grandmother, and mother in their 30's. Do I care? Well not really, but here's to looking at 25. Okay, so it does bother me. I account this grayness to genetics and life.

I'm brewing some chamomile tea to seep my hair in. {I've done this before, on another whim} It's supposed to cover gray. I think I'll use some sage from the garden too. I'm done with hair dye. I've dyed my hair all kinds of colors, some good, some bad. It's damaged my hair, and almost 2 years ago I began to grow out the color to be Natural. This year it is completely natural. Well once I finally have natural hair color, I turn gray. Fancy that. It is what it is.

Just waiting for my tea to cool....

be glorified

Father,

I came and bow down before your throne. You are soveriegn. I desire you. All I need is you Lord. I love your presence. Sweet presence. I surrender, and I trust you. I am your child, yours. I long to feel your presence, constantly, surrounding, engulfing my spirit. Spill out from me uncontained, tainting everything, and everyone in site.

I want to love
Forgive
heal
give
love
feed the poor
clothe the naked
reach the unreached with your love
touch the untouchable with your love
love those who despise me
rescue the broken
release the prisioner
dance

May your spirit in me, do things things and more, I ask.

You hold the universe, the nations, everyone on earth.

How glorious, how beautiful. O father I cry out to you. And you hear.

Be glorified Today.

I'm calm, and then I get anxious. And then calm again. It's going to be fine. Just fine, Okay anita? Okay.

Love you I do. I always will.

excitement...!

Ok, I'm excited. I'm thankful. I'm excited for several reasons. One being I'm quiting my waitressing job soon, like in 3 weeks. So thankful for this job, and the people I've met, but I ready to start something new. Yay!

I'm going to Montreal soon, and Thailand soon after that.

On a side note: My hair is getting longer, and it's natural.

Tomorrow I'm sharing about two loves of mine, India, and Thailand. And I just made some zucchini bars tonight, they're hot out of the oven. I'll share them with Chai tomorrow.

I just got my first wedding photography gig. AND I'll get paid!!! It's not sealed yet, but I'm super excited about this. Just the opportunity to be creative, and for others to trust me with thier day. Expect some pretty photos!!

And lastly, I'm happy about the idea. I'm letting myself be excited about the possibility and the hope, of you and I. Honestly I am. You've always made me happy. I've missed you.

Maybe we will start talking again. My heart hopes for this, and it makes me excited. This is my favorite excitement of them all

I'm learning to be balanced. This isn't extreme. Life isn't either fantastic or pragmatic. Sometimes it just is. It is has just been.
I'm finding the small joys in life, and learning to just flow with it.

time moves on......

Man O man, it's August. It's a friday, and I'm off to work in a short while.

I'm ready for new.

For change.

Something good and true.

Someone that puts my heart at ease, and the world back in place again.

I guess I'll wait.

I just ate some blueberry yogurt with chopsticks. YUM, it was paired with some Honduran coffee. Double Yum.
