'Tis the Season

For those who don't know me....I seriously LOVE this time of year. 

So, as soon as I packed away the Thanksgiving decorations...the tree was UP!

While so many people are in such unfortunate situations right now (Sandy, economy, etc.), I'm extremely thankful for the people in my life and the blessings I have been given. 

Before things get super hectic, I just want to take the opportunity to thank you - for reading my blog, for being a part of this amazing experience with me, and for sticking with me even when I vanish for days and weeks on end.  There would be no Gypsy Woman or Black Sheep Fashion Diaries without you.  In the end, there would probably not even be a Blissie Boucher.

:)  The view from here?  It's amazing - filled with love and light and all of the good and kind things I could ever want or need in this life.  And for that, I am grateful. 



XOXO,

Happy Thanksgiving

We all know Thanksgiving is a very unique time of year for me. 

Two years ago, my dad suffered a massive heartattack on Thanksgiving day at the kitchen table.  We thought he was gone..lost to us.

But he laid in a coma for eight days, and on the day we agreed to let him go, he woke up on his own.  And two years later, he's home and recovering from a very sucesseful prostate cancer surgery. 

Can anyone ask for a better reason to be thankful on Thanksgiving Day? 

So today, I wish all of my friends a very happy and healthy Thanksgiving.  I'm thankful for every one of you in my life.  Blessed, even.

Enjoy the day.  :)

XOXO,

Happy Birthday, Dad!

Two years ago, my dad died at the kitchen table.  Like..literally keeled over and died.  And after a long period of uncertainty, he's home and well. 

AND NOW. 

Today he's celebrating his 71st birthday.  I'm blessed in so many ways..but most of all, I'm truly blessed to be able to celebrate one more birthday with him. 

Life is so short, and everything can change in a heartbeat.  Be thankful for the ones you love, and the ones who love you.

Have a greay day..I know I am.


XOXO
