Well, I just figured out that my previous posts were not published, so now they should be- still on a learning curve here since Diana is not living here... ha!

I went to my ceramics class/open studio today as I'm starting to feel my energy coming back, but boy, I'm still having to take it easy. It felt good to get my hands in the clay, as well as come home and take it easy for the rest of the day.

I did drive up to the spring in Oak Creek Canyon to fill up my water bottles, so grateful for that!

And, I have to share my amazing tomato plants! I planted these in late summer in containers and they were loaded with green tomatoes right when the weather was turning cold, so I moved everyone inside, and it is so nice to see how happy they are! I'm harvesting so many every week- and my geranium plant is so incredibly happy- it is loaded with buds, and the colors are so vibrant- I'm using the juice from my worm condo to feed them all, and it is so wonderful to see the results!

Randomly blogging today...just to keep up doing it, and since I'm still recovering from a bad cold that still has me coughing like a 2 pack a day smoker- I'm just hanging out for the day, and loving that I can!

Since my intention with this blog is to share all the things that I do, am interested in, passionate about or just plain puzzled by it will definitely be random, but hey, I'm expressing, and it's 'Sedona Expressions'!

And, the most magnificent and amazing Diana Brock Makes http://positiveposes.blogspot.com/

Helped me set this up, and helps nudge me to do so... thank you Diana!!!

As for the quote-

I had a most wonderful Astrology reading with Corrie Cooperman, in Sedona, AZ last week, and the timing couldn't have been more perfect, and I highly recommend her for a most intuitive, accurate and inspirational chart readings, with transits and Astrocartography if you choose. This is her website - http://www.sedonaintuitiveastrology.com/

This quote reminded me of a major issue in my chart, and that is happening for all of us on certain levels-

Time to be who we know we truly are- it is time to stop 'playing small', and to bring forth everything we know our highest expression of ourselves is wanting to be! 

It doesn't mean it has to be big and dramatic- but how about nudging yourself to say something kind to someone that you normally wouldn't because of whatever little fear is there. Look a homeless person in the eye and recognize them as a fellow human being that is struggling. Be patient with the person that feels like an inconvenience to you.

Remember how GOOD it feels to do something that adds just a little joy to your own or someone's day. 

I find that when I listen to that small quiet voice telling me to 'go ahead', take the risk and feel the exhilaration of my soul saying YES! (Speaking of that, The Yes Man with Jim Carrey is good one to watch!) rarely does the feared outcome happen.

This is a powerful time of bringing to the surface all that supports our next level of personal evolution. Be Authentic, Don't take yourself so seriously, and as one of my favorite quotes goes: "Not to Spoil the Ending, But Everything's Going to Be OK'...

Happy November! I'm inspired to write this morning because every time I read my friend Diana's blog (she's the one that got me started), I'm inspired and it makes me want to do the same...
I'm sitting here with my cat Buddy curled up in my lap on this chilly morning, on the last day or two, I'm hoping of dealing with a nasty cold- REALLY appreciating my health and looking forward to being 100%

So as I journey on with the new blog... today packaged up yummy kale chips (thank you Steve Benson for being such a loyal fan!!!)

And am trying out recipes for my Holiday Baskets this year... so today, I made some Peanut Butter Biscotti drizzled with Chocolate... The house smelled amazing and I have to say, they taste pretty very good!

I left some of the leftover bits for my friend Diana, as a thank you- she's the one that has inspired and helped me to get this blog going... Thank you so much Diana!!!

Just starting out and having fun

I've decided that it's time to have my own blog!

I want to express my experiences in Sedona, in the kitchen, in my massage room, and life in it's glory!

Stay tuned and play with me!
