Winter Weekend Wonderland!

Last weekend, my partner and I had planned to go to Fernie for a weekend on the hill. This would have been the first time I had been out since the weekend in Jasper were I broke my back on the hill. I had been imagining playing in the snow, wearing all my gear: my brand new boots, my beloved one piece snow suit, mittens, helmet - the whole sha-bang! I imagined my face hurting from the huge smile that graces my face every time I get on the top of a mountain, in nature, playing, feeling the wind as I carve down the mountain.

Funny how manifesting works some times! Mother nature had other plans for us last weekend. The roads were so bad that Craig (along with RCMP advisories to stay off the road) pulled the plug on our mini vacation! The snow kept falling all day, I think we must have got half a foot! When I was thinking about what I wanted to do instead of snowboarding in Fernie, the huge amount of snow on my driveway called.

I put on my entire snow gear - my brand new boots, my beloved one piece snow suit, mittens, toque - the whole sha-bang! Plus, I put my iPod on with my newly downloaded Shimshai album and my new BFF Alanis Morrisette's MTV unplugged album. Grabbed the shovel and got to work! It was seriously the most beautiful evening. I was practically dancing the snow off my driveway! Mr. Craig came out to join me. We both had our iPod's on and were in our own worlds, bumping shovels ever now and again. I was giggling out loud. Funny how we create for ourselves sometimes. I experienced ever part of my manifestation for Fernie - just in a slightly different setting! I supposed I need to get more clear in my manifestations. I forgot to imagine the actual act of snowboarding - just the clothing and the feelings that come along with it! And yes - my face hurt after from smiling!

Once our driveway was done, I wanted to stay out and play - we moved our way down the block and shoveled for our neighbours (we probably owe them a few!). I still wanted to play... so I went and filled my yard with snow angels! I did one for each of you who have inspired me over the past couple months... Thank you all my angels! (I only have the camera on my phone right now and it's not so good at night shots... here's one though!)

Sometimes when I'm out travelling I run into people who can't understand why I would choose to live in such a cold land. Last Friday was exactly why I choose to live here. The snow fell so softly, it was cold, but not too cold. The snow sparkles! When I woke up last Friday morning and got stuck driving to my morning yoga session - all I could think with a smile was "Oh Canada!!! It's like billions of little blessings from the Heavens! Thank you!!"
