Falling in Self Love: Day 6

I am enjoying an easy-soft start.  I just returned from a trip to New York and I am moving this weekend.  It feels so natural for me to BE BUSY and today I am choosing restful action.  It almost doesn't even make sense (it is true that I make up words from time-to-time)  LOL!  This morning I walked my eager dog, Sandy and groomed her in a park.  She must have appreciated the small lambswool I removed from her coat b/c when I was through she ran & leaped about.  VERY ADORABLE!  I LOVE my dog!!

I like early morning walks (and on snowy days) b/c of how quiet it is.  It affords me an opportunity to "go in" which I like.  Today I realized that it is a practice for me to slow down and to plan things out over time.  I am very flash-in-the-pan-ish (see...another made-up word).  :) Anyhoo, I want to slow down and still feel like my life is exciting (I've somehow equated slow with boring).  Interesting?

As most people who know me know...I love food & I love to cook!  Today my self love experience included perusing a book about chefs tools with some intriguing & elaborate recipes! I felt so fiery  I was inspired to make myself a fancy beverage.  Give it a try & tell me what you think?
