Today I sipped a cup of tea with a good friend. She invited me around a few weeks ago, and I simply forgot how a good chat with a girl friend can sometimes go along way. We laughed and reminisced about my life here a year ago. She smiled with joy as she talked about me getting married. She cried with me as I shared some of my journey with her and she just let me process my transition. I forget how a small cup of tea, a short amount of time and a little vanilla bean noel can give you hope and help you smile again.
I absolutely LOVE when it is time to break out the Vanilla Bean Noel lotion. I look forward to it all year! It is crazy how a small, soft scent can send you into an entirely delightful mood, full of memories and good times of the Holidays. Typically I don't let myself break it out until the day after Thanksgiving, but since Thanksgiving is a bit different this year, and I needed an extra smile in my week I thought it was fitting to start the "Holiday Festivities" aka Bath & Body lotion that signify the beginning of The Holiday Season for me.
Thank you for your prayers and emails as I transition in life here. Sam has been so wonderful and has been working so hard for us, and yet still finds time to shower me with love and make me feel cherished. We leave for the wedding next Wednesday, but more importantly this week...I am planning our FUN family Thanksgiving!!! I looked up a ton of recipes and table decorations on line yesterday. Hehehehe, even found a fun Thanksgiving Trivia Game--that my family might just be playing come Saturday!
Until next time!!!
