I had such a lovely weekend. On Friday night, I went out to dinner and then to watch a ballet production called: "Momentum" in a small industrial theatre in Boulder. It was really nice. There was also a (weird) art exhibit at the same time. It was so nice, because unexpectedly after dinner it started to snow.. It's so nice to have the white flakes cover my hair and touch my face, the softness and the unexpected heat that comes with it - that is the weird thing about snow here in Colo. The temperature will drop dramatically, then it will start to snow and it will be so nice and warm.

On Saturday - I hit the shops in search of the "perfect - knock-em-dead-give-a-kickass-speech-while-you-look- awesome" dress - for my brothers' wedding in March - no Success!

I went home and ate chocolate and played with the turtle and had a nap. The evening, I went out with my girlie friends, we had wine and cheese and chatted and then hit the concert scene. We went to the Ogden. The music was Madigras themed jazz and it was great. The only off-putting thing was people smoking pot around me and grabbing my ass which I was not impressed with at all. Other than that, the girls and I had a boat load of fun.

I slept in a little on Sunday and then went to brunch with a friend. While waiting for the Oscars to begin, I got a bee in my bonnet and started moving funirture around - I seriously wanted to fit a full bed into my studio and I knew I had the space, it was just "HOW??" - I called in some boy help and moved things around to every conceivable corner until I struck gold!

After the arrangement I started to envision all the stunning decor I could add- I hopped in the car at 7pm - forgot about the Oscars and went to the stores to look for odds and sods! I bought some really stunning accessories and had my bed put in while Penelope Cruz was making her acceptance speech!

By the end of the Oscars - I was drinking a glass of wine and watching the Best Actor awards in my newly decorated, bed in place and ready for me to just fall into it - everything perfectly aligned looking HOT! I am soooooo happy....

Place of belonging...

You know, I have never really had the need to "belong". I have never been the one that ill-fortune pursued, even though I have had my fair share of heartache and failure.. and at the same time, I have never bitten my nails at destiny - because I have a security in my heart that I am headed for good things.

My life has always been simple and liquid as it were. Not a stranger to fortune, but also not overtaken by materialism. I have never wanted the grandest of things that would cement me to a particular place. I moved around quite a bit. Travel was my vice (and still is) and I relish in living in a foreign country and experiencing the world. Being one with it and its variety.

My good friend who is currently having an internal war with belonging, made me ask myself today: "Do I have a sense of belonging?" And my answer was yeah - I belong to God, to this world and it's people. to an indestructable Kingdom, to a heart that is full of love and compassion and to myself, my friends and family and it doesn't matter where I reside, I belong where I am... where my heart is full.
