What are you thankful for?

"Be in a state of gratitude for everything that shows up in your life. Be thankful for the storms as well as the smooth sailing. What is the lesson or gift in what you are experiencing right now? Find your joy not in what's missing in your life but in how you can serve."-Wayne Dyer

This is the 1st Thanksgiving spent without Hassan and Mya in the past 5 years. Missing them like crazy!! Thankful for their amazing father. He does so much for them and am grateful that he put them in the BBBS program so that my husband and I have a chance to be a part of their lives:-)

Sending LOVE from New Zealand.

Vegetarian Turkey

Seasoned with buttons, burlap and a maple leaf- I made our Thanksgiving Turkey today.

It soaked overnight in a homemade brine of wondrous assorted paper puree.

I was given paper doilies at Teatime today, and just couldn't bring myself to throw them away.

Bon voyage New Zealand~Its been real

 A tribute I made for the Māori people (the native tribes of New Zealand).

... Now to hang with the sharks in Australia:-)
