mums, pumpkins, apple cider, falling leaves, tall boots, restorative yoga, faux fur, warm fires, hot cocoa with marshmallows, pine-scented candles = this time of the year. love, love, love it! last night while curled up on the couch at the cabin, beau + i came across our first christmas commercial. really, on halloween? yep! the holidays are here . . . with jingle bells on!
hope you all had a *delightful* halloween. we headed out to beau's cabin after i indulged in a day-long artist date at a sewing class. made flowy pants and a tunic - photo forthcoming. we stopped at my fave restaurant (yes, you know the one . . . shhhh), a bookstore, and tarjay. NO ONE was out. it was fabulous. i said to beau, "it feels like that night when everyone is watching that silly football game!" he was like, "you mean the superbowl?" yep! it's my fave night to get out and about because it's just me and the store clerks. i've never been shopping or bookstore browsing or restaurant eating on halloween. it will now be tradition because everyplace is empty. loved having the aisles to myself.
i love how many bloggers share their goals for the upcoming month and then revisit ones created the month before to see how they did. talk about accountability. i want to share mine and encourage you to join in. it will be like a way for our virutal community to make magic happen each month!

2. revamp of blog look
3. place items in my new etsy store
4. fun, vibrant, inspiring session on THIS wednesday's self-love studio interview (tune in!)

6. 10 minutes of daily meditation
7. savor every moment of 10 days in paris (november 13-23)
8. begin work on *big* final paper for human behavior theory
9. call ailing gramma every few days so she knows how ADORED she is
10. choose guest bloggers from *oh-so-impressive* submissions and determine daily inspiration for tranquility du jour 2010

i love lists & setting monthly goals! i also love the revamped site - it's beautiful! can't wait to hear about the guest bloggers, too!
Oh, I can't wait for the Etsy store! The one thing I'm amazed at though, can you really still wear sleeveless stuff in October/November in DC? The temperatures have been hitting around 10 degrees celcius here in British Columbia, that's only 10 degrees above freezing! It's winter coat and boots time almost!
I love the idea of a virtual community of practice! How cool . . . and Paris in November . . . what a wonderful time to be there . . . I always do a "new beginnings" celebration to usher in the Beaujolais Nouveau - and my birthday - which fall on the same week . . . it's a great excuse to set goals for the year and drink French wine ;) Bon Voyage!!
I plan to post about my dreams/goals for the month by Sunday. This is a good post!
So excited about your number 10! Can't wait to see who you are going to select. (Just just a reminder: Pick me, pick me!)
