"Both abundance and lack of abundance exist simultaneously in our lives as parallel realities. It is our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend...when we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that's present- love, health, family, friends, work, joys of nature, and personal pursuits that bring us happiness- the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience heaven on earth."

Happy Birthday Mom!

It's my mom's birthday today, but we celebrated last weekend. The kids got to come in their Halloween costumes, which meant we had two princesses and a tiger. Halle had just swapped her wand with Abbie's and you can see she's pretty excited about the trade.
We also had dry ice in the punch bowl, a Halloween tradition in our family. Both of the girls were pretty fascinated by it and insisted on having a "cloud" poured into their cups before they could drink from it.
And then after dinner, Abbie and Halle pretty much ran around the house squealing for the rest of the night. They both dashed behind these curtains when Angie walked into the room, but it looks like the balloon gave them away, or maybe it was when Halle said "we're not here."
