...still on a "high"

i have been home for a week and two days now
and still feel as if i am on a "high"
from the beautiful gift of

i am still on a high from....

planting my feet firmer into the
grounds of my friendships
blooming with these two gor-juss souls,

seeing first hand...
intricate details woven about with
so much love,

being fed like royalty....morning, noon and night
(is your mouth watering?!?!)

watching unconditional love at it's best amongst
a group of women who were ultimately strangers
walking into this incredible week,

finally coming face to face with one of my dear
soul sisters who i have blogged with for a LONG time...
it feels as if i have known Kelly forever,


being in a room FULL of anything and everything
you could imagine to create with....
(kid in a candy store would be an understatement)


observing beautiful friendships take flight,

bearing witness to the beginning stages of healing
due to love and safety and
truly being seen,

the sunrise in McCall, Idaho on the day
i had to leave this magical place,
(no touch ups to this photo AT ALL....it was
breath taking)

and

i'm still on a high from simply being able to

JUST BE!!!!

HAPPY MONDAY MY FRIENDS....
and i can honestly say i watched a moment change
everything for many many women....i think they
would all agree when i say "we are all forever changed."

    Kolleen, I love everything about this!! Sooo amazing the way you have depicted it. Funny, I was just reading my journal from last year at this time and your post reminds me of how I was feeling after coming home from Unearth one year ago. Wasn't that just the hugest catalyst?? Oh, I met Elena at Gloria's and heard more about Brave Girls. Small world!!
