On a MOUNTAIN covered in SNOW.
BUZZED AND BOARDING.
With my music on.
And smiling.
I'll be there tomorrow.
And I can't wait.
A look inside the dreams of a daring soul desiring to be nothing more than exactly who she is.

Passing on ~Thich Nhat Hanh 's message -
First, let us light the torch of our awareness and learn again how to drink tea, eat, wash dishes, walk, sit, drive, and work in awareness. We do not have to be swept along by circumstances. We are not just a leaf or a log in a rushing river. With awareness, each of our daily acts takes on a new meaning, and we discover that we are more than machines, that out activities are not just mindless repetitions. We find that life is a miracle, the universe is a miracle, and we, too, are a miracle.
The capacity to feel at peace anywhere is a positive seed. The energy to run away is not. If we practice mindfulness, whenever the energy of wanting to run away arises, we can smile at it and say, "Hello, my old friend, I recognize you." The moment we recognize any habit energy, it loses a little of its power.
It isn't necessary to run away or abandon our present home and look for an illusory home, a so-called "paradise" that is really just a shadow of happiness. When we produce faith, energy, mindfulness, concentration, and insight in OUR Power Plants, we realize that OUR TRUE HOME is already filled with LIGHT and Power!
