I usually try to take Easter weekend off but this year I was huptcha-huptcha quick-a-like-a bunny with to-dos and creations. Yesterday this new dance series just showed up in my heart, ready and raring to go! So I spent the day getting to know what Thrive wanted to be and today I shared it with studio members. This project feels so vital that I'm already planning a series of Dance Days to connect us with our heart and soul as well as the powers that be! I hope everyone will be as excited about it as I am.

Nothing says Easter like chocolate, tea and... Jesus Christ Superstar! And in traditional fashion I sang while watching but didn't watch it all as it gets too sad.

I love this picture from Easter 2007! I love having Mom and Shannon over to celebrate the holiday. this year I had been thinking of another pierogi-making party but thought it might be good to do that in April instead. So today it's nice to peek back to an earlier celebration and look forward to the ones to come!

It was so hard saying good-bye to you both the last time I was in Toronto, as it always is. But today I can look back on that day and smile.

I think I'm finding a rhythm for Project Life. I'm must loving taking time on Fridays to create an impression of my week. Just on this side I have my Full Worm Moon Dreamboard, our trip to Ikea, some words that inspired me, a book and a card that I received from interviewees at Creative Living with Jamie. On the other side is the raccoon I saw, the Dance the Body Divine card I shared during stART, where we went out for dinner and how much we love Jerk Chicken. It's a wonderful peek into my life each week and a really fun ritual for Fridays.

I had a moment when I was like..where is the cat? And yes, of course, he found a new spot where I just shifted some things and there he was basking in the newly found sunlight! Cats are amazing at finding new spots!

After saying we don't have any wildlife around here, I saw this beautiful white cat skulking around our little river and a duck going for a walk on a lawn with a cat in the window above him. I guess I just don't get to see much because I am home most of the time.

Shannon and I were out and about for the day yesterday, which ended up including an impromptu trip to IKEA! There were good finds, good company and a surprisingly good lunch!



Shannon
I totally feel in love with this wee sofabed/couch at IKEA! It reminded me of the one I had that was Justin's and was so perfectly Shannon sized. I forgot how often stuff *isn't* Shannon sized! It's so nice to find stuff that fits, maybe one day I'll even get it!

Other than picking up weekend food and a ton of medication, yesterday was all about making my puff pastry video. I am definitely pushing my computer to its movie-making limits but I managed to trim down over an hour of footage to a 10-minute video. Still needs finessing but I am happier with it than I thought I would be.

Yesterday I went for my regular dental cleaning. I always find it incredibly taxing and was making myself a tea to settle in and ground myself when I noticed this little one through the window. She was climbing everywhere, looking for some shelter. At one point she was completely upside down, tail and bum in the air, as she tried to find her way in to a tree! When I stepped outside to take her picture, clearly she was concerned that I could see her. There we were, eye to eye for a moment. I hope she found shelter from the rain.

Suzie

Yesterday of course I did Hexed with Shannon! But I also put together the video for my musing. It was challenging because as I did my musing I realized how lost I really feel about blogging and how sad that makes me. I hope it isn't a downer video. I am really going to have to sit with this one for a while and figure things out.

I know this was a part of stART yesterday so.. hey... that means this pic can represent the joy of filming stART together and that I went to the store and grabbed some notebooks and journals. The ones on the left are for a new idea I have for gathering thoughts, resources, plans and to-dos per project area and the ones on the right are the official beginning of my Give a Girl a Journal project. I guess it's time to get that started! (Oh, there's that word again!)

Shannon
Hurt my ankle! GRRRR!!! So frustrating. And it's too early for me to be making sense... so.. yep...that's all I got.

Suzie

Love hanging out with my sisters for stART! I include Jinx in that comment. It was lovely to see her make an appearance too!

Not a terribly good picture of what was actually a terribly good meal! Jerk chicken, sweet potato latkes and papay salad. I think we said, "Mmmm..." with every bite! It was a beautiful, long day of good, good work and so wonderful to finish it off with a delicious dinner.

Shannon

Okay...so I meant to have broccoli and something for dinner...but I ended up with mini farmer plate.  I think my meals are a bit off kilter these days!

Suzie

For this photo yesterday there was no point saying cheese. Say "buttah!" instead! Yup, worked on the puff pastry video all day yesterday and I am still not done. It has been an interesting journey so far, filled with drama, decisions, stress and oh so much butter.
