being here now
tracy at prana light writes a series titled “being here now”. it’s in list format and it provides such a beautiful glimpse into her daily life. when i read the last one: “being here now: days of abundance”, i was inspired to fill out the list for myself.
taste — my latest dinner addiction: a rich meat sauce on roasted spaghetti squash; ginger molasses cookies; steel-cut oatmeal with bananas & brown sugar & butter
scent — eucalyptus + vinegar (my homemade bathroom cleaner); lemon + vinegar (my homemade kitchen cleaner); wet dog
sound — “set fire to the rain” by adele
touch — soft fleece blankets
sight — my latest series addiction: leverage (which i stumbled upon at the library and grabbed, thinking it looked like a decent movie, only to find that it was actually a series and i liked it so much that i watched all four dvds in a row and ordered season two)
delight — the anticipation of a proposal from a web designer for a beautiful new home for retinal perspectives
intuition — my focus now needs to be on wholeness
comfort — sleeping later in the mornings; heading outside when the sun appears; working during the cold and dark evenings
making — homemade granola to bring to my sister’s
doing — looking for the perfect images for the november/december collection
dreaming — about the day when my business sustains me
reading — addiction to perfection (marion woodman), clash of kings (george r r martin), the untethered soul (michael singer), what i talk about when i talk about running (haruki murakami), and sailing home (norman fischer)
gratitude — for this moment, right here, right now
happiness — surrounds me, inside and out
love — this month, this season, so very much
i’d love to hear what’s in your now.
p.s. in case you missed monday’s post, there’s a celebration going on through saturday!

LOVED reading your sweet list, Elizabeth! I’m savoring every moment of it… And especially resonating with your intuition theme: “my focus now needs to be on wholeness”…mmm… beautifully put! The Untethered Soul is on my reading list. Today in this moment I’m enjoying the last of the afternoon sunlight before it fades, drinking chamomile tea, visiting you here, watching kitty Charlie a-snooze in his basket, and the quiet hum of the house to myself… A pretty blissful moment really. :o) Happy Day ((HUGS))
