It's coming!

We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit.” - e.e.cummings

Six months from TODAY I will marry my best friend! This picture was taken (by me if you can believe it) while we were at the Colosseum in Rome last June. Mark took me to Rome for a long weekend as a surprise and proposed at 5:30 am in front of the Trevi Fountain. Could he be more romantic? I don't think so.

Six months to go. I'm going to be a bride... I'm going to be a MRS!!!

I feel like I have a lot to do in the next six months. I don't want to go into the rest of my life dragging any baggage. I want to stand beside him as whole and healthy as I can be. I want us to be full partners. I am madly in love and I want to use my energy to take us forward into our dreams instead of worrying about boring things like weight and guilt.

Six months to go.

I can't wait!

the six months will go quickly. heck, 60 years will probably go quickly! love is an interesting and wonderful thing. it amazes me how many ways there are for 2 people to grow together.

the last six months prior to my wedding was overwhelmed wtih wedding details.

I didn't start the next stage of internal work until after the vows.

but I did it beside my best friend and inside my marriage.

not such a bad thing :-)

I love what you say about wanting to use your energies 'to take us forward into our dreams.'

I found the months preceding our marriage to be some of the most wonderfully memorable ones of my life.

I hope you have a magical time planning...and making dreams come true.
