Sorry I have been absent...but the past week has been nuts. Between Christmas and New Year's there was a funeral. Oh gosh...that was so sad to say good bye. But it was such a beautiful tribute...and it brought so many friends together. So many heartfelt words were said, and many tears shed. It was so good to see how much Ron was loved. He is a good soul. The emphasis on IS a good soul. His physical body may be gone...but I am certain that his spirit is soaring...

And so today I took down the xmas tree, cleaned the floors and windows, put fresh sheets on all the beds, sweated out my toxins in Bikram yoga, and cleared my thoughts.
There is just nothing better than starting the year off with a clean house and mind. I donno...it feels so fresh and good to have a fresh clean start.
I am now ready to get this show on the road. Yep...I am ready to soar!!!

I will be catching up with you all...I have missed visiting your blogs!!!

Oh those pecans look amazing (and addictive indeed)! Gorgeous photos, as always, though I am so very sorry for your loss. I'm glad to hear you're feeling clear and refreshed. Happy, happy new year to you!
What a share. I can't believe you already have your tree down and house spiffy clean! My kids go back to school today. I fear I will be cleaning for weeks to catch up! ;0)
Hugs to you on your loss.
Your outlook on the new year is fabulous! Can't wait to travel the journey with you. I'll be here watching and growing with you!
A very sad time of year to have a funeral and yet, in many ways it is a good time...there is so much love, peace and joy abounding and it can't help but be part of remembering someone so loved. I agree...a soul IS always with us, even when the physical body is not.
I would love those pecans (but my hips would not) and I love how you sliced the zucchini and photographed it -- gorgeous!!!!
Soar lady, soar!! I'm getting ready to risk and have already begun!!
Let's get this show on the road indeed!!
(my word verification is bathole..I'm laughing...bat hole...good way to start any day let alone a year..with laughter!)
Heartily agree ... always great to start fresh ... and be ready for the unexpected! Soar, my friend!
i can only imagine how sad the funeral was...but aren't' they all....even when they're beautiful.
LOVE the food shots....YUM !
The pecans look absolutely delicious but I'm so sorry for your loss, Caroline. Here's to new beginnings and soaring. xo
Beautiful photos from the funeral. Such emotion.
Happy New Year friend!
Ok, I'm seriously crushing on your zucchini here. But at the same time am sad for your loss.
I love a clean house. LOVE it.
I love your word "soar" here's to 2012 baby!!

I did some cleaning as well but didn't get the yoga in! I've got to start back to the gym. Soon. Your photos are gorgeous. You and the light are friends.
Beautiful photos of a sad event. I'm so sorry.
I am amazed at how paper thin you were able to get those zuke slices. Yum!
Happy New Year! Soar, baby, soar!!
I will definitely be trying that pecan recipe! Just the thing for a winter's evening, a glass of wine and friends!
I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend. The photos of the funeral are beautiful. I have always hesitated to take photos at a funeral, but these are so emotional and lovingly accomplished that they are a tribute. Well done.
So sorry to hear of your loss. Such a lovely tribute you paid with your photos. I too believe that the spirit lives on.
You're photos are lovely - the one that capture my imagination the most was the zucchini. Gorgeous!
Sorry to hear of the loss of your friend. Your photos are wonderful. You've captured beauty at the saddest of times.
And, your foodie shots look so yummy!
Wishing you the best New Year!!!!!
Oh my what a week you had. From soaring, to a funeral, to toasted pecans. Sending uplifting hugs for a year of special dreams come true.
I am so sorry for your loss Caroline.
My mother is so grateful we took photos at my father's funeral. It's a part of her memories and I find myself looking back at them too.
