Fairytales from Pixieland

Just wanted to pop in and let everyone know I am still among the living. I have just been blissfully busy as of late and although I want to write a new post, the blank screen stares back at me and my mind goes blank with it. There are things I wish to say, just can't seem to find the right words. As busy as I have been, there is a peaceful calm to be found in it at the same time. Which is confusing at best when you think about it.  My mind races and my thoughts are swirled, but at the same time there is clarity amidst the chaos.  Such a strange state of affairs, as one I have never quite encountered before. A dear friend of mine has also received the most smashingly brilliant news as well. I will be celebrating with her even though distance divides us. All my best. ~Pixie~

Take my hand baby come run with me far from this black land of dead hopes and dreams I'll take you somewhere That peace can be found Someplace that's quiet With no one around I'll hold you close Kiss your fears away I'll hold you close And pray for the day That you cry me a river Of your hopes and dreams Cry me a river Things aren't what they seem One thing's for sure There are rough times ahead I'll hold you close babe As we ride the waves We can get through them Together you and I We can do this baby Stay by my side Cry me a river darlin Hold steady, hold fast Cry me a river darlin I'm in it to the last The beat of your heart It echoes in my mind The steady reminder Of happier times The crack in your voice The tear on your cheek The things you've been thru Are not for the weak Cry me a river I ask this of you Cry me a river to thine own self be true Keep in mind honey When the day comes That I cry...

I hope everyone had a Happy New Years celebration and now it is time to get down to business. Last year a sweet friend of mine turned me on to something a little different when it comes to resolutions. Instead of thinking about all of the things you need to address in your life, you choose a word or phrase and go with it. Over the year, you word or phrase will change meanings, change the level of intensity and continue to shift how it applies in your life. You choose to define it in your own way, with your own style. Last year it came to me pretty quickly and was fairly obvious early on which word(s) I chose. This year I am still thinking on it. The beauty in this is that there is nothing to really uphold. No deadlines, no specific dates to meet, your goals can drift along on a whim or fly past you in a flash.
