Living Happiness

Dear beautiful readers:

Happy (almost) Thanksgiving!

Today I am giving thanks because I have recently been blessed with the opportunity to become a regular contributor at one of my very favorite spots online: Karen Wallace’s lovely “spa for the mind” – The Calm Space.

As many of you know, I have been playing visiting guest at Karen’s place for a while now, always having a delightful time.  It seems that Karen has been enjoying it too, because one day a few weeks back she approached me with the idea of my not being a guest any longer and invited me in to stay.

Beginning this week, therefore, (and continuing the fourth week of every month moving forward) you will find me at a new little space that we have aptly dubbed The A-Ha Space, a space to celebrate the A-Ha moments of life and, hopefully, to create some new “A-Has” in yours!

Please come visit me there today as we think and talk about Harmony and its meaning in our lives with this month’s post: Your Life, The Musical.

Can’t wait to see you there!

On this bright and beautiful Tuesday in June I am writing to you from my little desk in my little bedroom in my very hot house in Crete. It has been a few days since you last heard from me and all about my room for improvement. Now it’s five days later and this is the first chance I’ve had to get back again to all of you. Doesn’t life get crazy like that?

Today my offering is nothing more than a little catch-up, a bit of what’s going on with Chania Girl in her corner of the world. I hope you don’t mind. Maybe think of it as our virtual coffee together.

My news (in no order of importance) is as follows:

Operation Become a Bronze Goddess (Summer #2) has begun. Thanks to a lovely friend of mine, I have been given two weeks worth of meal plans to kick start my body and my mind into a healthier way of eating. I got moving in Week 1 last week and already feel much cleaner inside and out … and I’ve dropped a kilo or two, too! It feels good to eat often and well.

We’re Off to See the Wizard. G and I have made our decision and will be moving to Oz. Last week saw me saving and printing off all the forms (of which there are a gazillion). This morning saw us getting passport photos made and criminal background checks requested. So we are on the yellow brick road and, if all goes well, should be entering Oz sometime around Christmas, give or take a little. Now, if I only had a brain … a heart … some courage … .

I Am a Football Widow. The World Cup has begun and my otherwise attentive husband has now abandoned me for his other love: the football. He has not shaved for a week. He doesn’t plan to do so for another month. His favorite outfit is an old t-shirt and faded shorts. I still hear the vuvuzelas (blaring horns) in my dreams at night. And there are still three more weeks to go!

School’s (NOT) Out for Summer. Just as I packed off my high school Greek students for a summer of sand and sea, I got to begin two new online courses – woohoo! (Insert sarcasm here.) But what am I complaining about? I can still show up and teach in my jammies or, as the case may be, in my swimsuit, and none of my students are any the wiser … unless, of course, they’re reading this blog. Hmmmm. Maybe not good idea to mention the jammies … or the swimsuit.

What about you?

What is your news?

What have you been up to lately?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Namaste,
