Life is buzzing, it's full, it's exciting. If I'm not buzzing, not full, not exciting then I actually have stepped away from Life -- what I want to do is step back into it!! Just a thought and a different perspective -- and I know it's symantics, too. tag:www.barefootlifeblog.com,2012-01-31:15689511 Jill Campana http://www.ajoyfuldance.com 2012-01-31T13:42:56Z 2012-01-31T13:42:56Z Stephanie, I'm taking the time to go back and read all of your blog posts. I may scan some of them; I've printed some of them -- especially your playlists. I'm so enjoying your expression of life, your love for Nia, your love for change and the mystery that surrounds it. thank you. tag:www.barefootlifeblog.com,2012-01-31:15689448 Lisa 2012-01-31T13:35:02Z 2012-01-31T13:35:02Z Love it!

Your blog post made me smile, and I love, love, love the pictures. And you ARE beautiful...they're telling you the truth! tag:www.barefootlifeblog.com,2012-01-27:15624706 Vickie 2012-01-27T20:58:31Z 2012-01-27T20:58:31Z <span> </span>Thank you for this Steph. I think you took part in a miracle. Few of us ever really get the msg that is right in front of us. I don't think I would have gotten yours. I am glad you shared it so that maybe I can be more open to my msgs. Vic tag:www.barefootlifeblog.com,2012-01-27:15624529 Lisa 2012-01-27T18:20:55Z 2012-01-27T18:20:55Z <span> </span>Crying! Can just see the whole day unfold. My tears are for you, sad that you would ever have to feel a loss of faith in humanity. Yet tears of joy a dog helped you to find it again. Love you so very much!

I'm glad you took his pic - I think he is beautiful...For all you know, he may be an angel in fur-form, sent to comfort you on your sabbatical, as well as teach you. I found myself wishing you could take him home. I wonder whether you will see him again...We owe so much to our fellow animal beings. Fur-angels. Thanks for sharing this sweet story. Love, Melanie tag:www.barefootlifeblog.com,2012-01-27:15624188 Jill Campana http://ajoyfuldance.com 2012-01-27T15:16:21Z 2012-01-27T15:16:21Z Wow. I type this with tears in my eyes. And I'm forwarding this to a friend who is experiencing "dog" problems. I do believe that animals come into our lives for a purpose. You are blessed as is your furry friend.
