"Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair."

-Khalil Gibran

Home....Again

I've moved once again, this time down the street from my old condo, but into a much better space. The vibe and feeling of love in this house is so strong and welcoming; plus I'm right across the hall from one of my best friends so now I can laugh at our embarrassments in person! I hope to make this more of a permanent stay than I'm used to and taking the time to really settle in and make it feel like home.

So far so good. 

Outro

Last Sunday, I grabbed my journal, my scriptures and a hot chocolate and headed for the mountains. The clouds were hanging low that day and being alone I thought it best to stay close so I drove up to the Squaw Peak overlook. Provo canyon is gorgeous anytime, but really outdoes itself in the fall. 

I sat on the little rock wall writing for a while, trying to ignore the anti Mormon radio station blaring from the truck next to me until the rain really started to come down and I was forced to sit in my car. After my hand was too cramped to keep writing I drove up the dirt road toward Hope campground listening to The National and M83 along the way until I made my way back home.

This quick trip was everything I needed and more. I absolutely love the mountains; at times I even crave them. They are my place for solace and peace and I am so grateful to live in a state where I am surrounded by them.

October

I just love October, it’s my favorite month of the year and it’s finally arrived! The fall leaves are in full swing, pumpkin spice candles are burning and the Dairy Queen pumpkin pie blizzard is back. Plus one of my favorite holidays is just weeks away; what a month.
