first time out in 2015!

and we JUST made it before June....although we could have been boating the last couple of months, but somehow our now VERY short winter season flies by, and we don't get the "winter" projects done before the nice weather hits.  But, here we are, and it's boating season again!





the fine art of family selfies....had to fit the boat in too...she's a big part of our family :D


































and of course you can never dock in Harbor Town, without stopping for icecream....just ask the girls :D
(I confess, I didn't have icecream...I had fudge....Rocky Road and Choco Walnut :D )


the end....until hopefully next weekend!

Four Elements ~ Four Directions Sacred Set: infused with Reiki and an Elemental Blessing

Four Directions Prayer
"Creator, it is I. Thank you for today’s sunrise, for the breath and life within me, and for all of your creations. Creator, hear my prayer, and honor my prayer.

As the day begins with the rising sun, I ask, Spirit keeper of the East, Brother Eagle, Be with me. Fly high as you carry my prayers to the Creator. May I have eyes as sharp as yours, so I am able to see truth and hope on the path I have chosen. Guide my step and give me courage to walk the circle of my life with honesty and dignity.

Spirit keeper of the South, Wolf, Be with me. Help me to remember to love and feel compassion for all mankind. Help me to walk my path with joy and love for myself, for others, for the four legged, the winged ones, the plants and all creation upon Mother Earth. Show me it is right for me to make decisions with my heart, even if at times, my heart becomes hurt. Help me to grow and nurture my self worth in all ways.

Spirit Keeper of the West, Brown Bear, Be with me. Bring healing to the people I love and to myself. Bring into balance the physical, mental and spiritual, so I am able to know my place on this earth, in life and in death. Heal my body, heal my mind and bring light, joy and awareness to my spirit.

Spirit Keeper of the North, White Buffalo, Be with me. As each day passes, help me to surrender, with grace, the things of my youth. Help me to listen to the quiet, and find serenity and comfort in the silences as they become longer. Give me wisdom so I am able to make wise choices in all things which are put in front of me, And when time for my change of worlds has come, Let me go peacefully, without regrets, for the things I neglected to do as I walked along my path.

Mother Earth, Thank you for your beauty, And for all you have given me. Remind me never to take from you more then I need, and remind me to always give back more than I take."

Just did a quick little 13 mile bike ride to the bike shop .... Saved on gas $!

Which hopefully makes up for the $90 I just dropped on this new helmet

Some seriously gorgeous necklaces have hit the shop tonight!

 .... Energetic Powerhouse stones! (I confess I want to keep the rainbow moonstone and Super 7 and labradorite; so if they don't sell, then I know the Universe wants me to keep them, haha;)

on this day, five years ago.....


"
It was such a beautiful day we had to take an afternoon "field trip"---we hit Boerner Botanical Gardens and Basse's Farm for icecream (bribery for the girls letting me take a thousand pictures at the gardens of them:D)"

....we were so blessed to live within a couple of miles of these beautiful gardens. When we got home that night, we found out we were moving to South Carolina (and our WI life suddenly became very hectic with the mass exodus;) The girls' ages: 4 and 6....they both still had most of their baby teeth....
