"Christmas waves a magical wand over this world,
and behold...everything is softer and more beautiful. "
~ Norman Vincent Peale
I am closing my eyes and wishing that each of you will discover some sweet magic (in places where you'd never expect it) and with this glimpse of enchantment, your lives will feel softer and more beautiful.
Down in the depths of my soul, I feel dreams will be coming true in the new year...yours and mine.

your home is so beautifully furnished and inviting. i've been moving around so much recently myself that all the beautiful little touches you have in your home are sorely lacking in my own. you have inspired me to decorate!
wishing for you both a great christmas with your families.
i hope you and your family have a wonderful, sparkly Christmas. i share your feeling about dreams coming true in the new year. take care.
I love you and your sweet, gentle spirit. Hoping you continue to find peace and magic.
Love, calissa
your home is beautiful.
i'm missing a tree and christmas decorations this year. my husbands family is jewish and our oldest son just had a bar mitzvah december 1st. we decided to just do hanukkah this year.
we usually celebrate both. this year we felt a need to not get to hectic with everything and keep it simple.
peace to you.
Denise,
This is gorgeous! I love it! Happy Holidays and many blessings to you and Boho Boy!

Thank you for Sharing... I love catching up with you and your wanderings.. ponderings and the like... Happy Holidays to you and your family!
Such a beautiful blessing! Thank you.
Amen sister. Right back at ya.
I think you are right my dear...many dreams are now living underground, waiting to spring upwards through the earth in the new year. Can't you hear them all? Whispering and giggling, thinking we don't know they exist.
This year is going to be amazing. Merry Christmas to you and Bing. Love to you as you go.

That was beautiful, thanks!
Merry Christmas to you and a happy new year!

"When I die, she said, I'm coming back as a tree with deep roots & I'll wave my leaves at the children every morning on their way to school & whisper tree songs at night in their dreams.
Trees with deep roots know about the things children need."
Just to say welcome back...I've been singing tree songs for you! xx
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, beautiful Boho! Your openness has helped me appreciate what I have instead of dwelling on what I don't have. May your dream come true this year!
Love, Nashay

Boho Girl,
I read your blog months ago, with one of my closest friends, who lives in Baltimore, and I have followed your tale off and on since then.
This is her story: She tried to concieve for 9 (heartbreaking) years and finally at the age of 39, went to South America with her husband in search of doctors and remedies beyond the eastern and western ones she had tried over and over again.
Long story short... she met a midwife (in Peru, of all places!) who gave her some advice... and she is now pregnant with a capital M for miracle (just shy of 40, and told she would NEVER have a baby!)
I remembered her showing me your blog, and how your story is so much like hers in many ways, so I thought I would share with you what worked for her! An easy recipe and advice to follow.
GINGER/MACA TEA INGREDIENTS
8OZ WATER (not from tap!)
1 TEA BAG OF ORGANIC GINGER TEA
5 DROPS OF LIQUID BILBERRY
2 DROPS JUICE FROM LEMON
10 DROPS OF LIQUID MACA
1 TSP APPLE CIDER VINEGAR
DO NOT STIR WITH PLASTIC OR METAL, USE A WOODEN STIRRER (LIKE A POPSICLE STICK FROM THE CRAFT STORE)
Here's the deal. The midwife told her: Stop thinking about your cycle, because your cycle is not on the one science thinks it is. many women concieve at times that science doesn't understand. Instead both you and your husband drink the tea recipe above EVERY day, from 1-3 times per day.
The important part of the recipe is this: when you drink the tea, you must do it in a quiet space, with no distractions. Don't think about baby, husband, bills etc. Instead, find the space behind your eyelids and focus on it thinking of nothing!
When you feel that first wave of peace wash over you, then drink the tea, while its still hot, clearing your mind before each sip.
The other advice she gave was to never think about procreating while initiating sex or making love with your husband, instead let it be fun and natural.
At any time you are home alone with your husband you should be completely naked, both of you, like you lived in the wild. Reading, doing dishes, doing laundry, whatever! Then whenever one of you feels a natural urge you should have sex right then, which is made easier by the no clothes part.
I got such a kick out of hearing the funny stories my friend told, because she is naturally very modest (in the bright light of day), but she and her hubby followed the advice, from the tea to the nudity and 7 months later they are decorating a nursery. He's 43 and over the moon excited!
I figured this was something you could do that wouldn't take too much effort, so I hope you don't mind unsolicitated advice from a stranger.
I hope it helps, or if nothing else it is brings you health beneits!
As we wrap up good ole' Pisces 2007, and enter unified and intuitive 2008 Aquarius, I must recognize and validate the shift in attitude I am experiencing. I am the typically untypical boomer who came kicking and screaming into the information age, crying and sniveling about technology with its ever present energy suck tentacles clandestinely removing my illustrious brain out through my ear to be used and abused by the ever hateful military industrial complex....yada, yada...
Posts like this last one from anonymous, have finally convinced me of the goodness that computers and the information age play in my life. Whether or not you try this wonderfully natural and playful idea is secondary to the love and concern this person has shared with the universe. Here she is, a woman I feel sure few, if any, of the readers here know, bringing information from far off Peru, information shared with her through the beauty and love of a very close friendship, putting this very grass-roots, loving and practical kind of life-giving support out to us through the wonderful, powerful, and enlightening strength and accessibility of the internet.
Happy day. This post is a great example, for me, of the fear shattering, fixed belief shattering, fresh approach to learning and expanding universal consciousness coming forward through the power of technology. It's people like us coming together, sharing and caring for one another, lancing and healing ills of too long-lived war mongering attitudes that is the remedy for the confusion we see all around. I love coming to my computer and getting acquainted with you wonderful and concerned, engaged and productive people. Thank you, Happy New Year, and keep up the good work.
I am sharing a poem I wrote and choreographed as part of my degree project at school.
ALCHEMIST'S DREAM
To dance-
It is my quest-
Movement liberates heart and head-
Turns living language turmoil lead-
GOLD
this blog is beautiful and so are your pictures!
the camera you use is the one that I am craving is it as good as I think it is. I need another push to just get it.
such beauty and warmth here. it brings light to my holidays to see others in such a happy space. blessed new year to you.
i hope your year has begun beautifully.
xoxo
gorgeous, gorgeous room
I've been fascinated with this picture ever since I saw it, it looks so warm and inviting... mind if I ask a rather mundane question - how did you attach your curtains to the ceiling like that? :)
