may this dress remind us to stop and pause ...

... pause to remember our blessings and to remember those who are not as fortunate as ourselves. 

Pause and enjoy the love and joy of family and friends and to carry these feelings beyond today and into the new year.  

Wishing everyone a joyous and peaceful holiday!!

dresstag left in China in 2013 - story below 

Christmas gives us the opportunity to pause and reflect 

on the important things around us -

a time when we can look back on the year 

that has passed and prepare for the year ahead. 

David Cameron

In 2013 some friends were traveling abroad and took some of my dresstags to place during there visit, here is the story about todays' photo:

Today's dresstag photo comes from  Guangzhou, China!!!!thanks to the wonderful and so talented Clara Bohrer.  She offered to take a few dresstags with her to China and last night I got this photo!! As I read her email I was bathed in a sense of amazement and wonder!! Besides the thought of my dresstags on foreign shores, I was bathed by the wonders of life!! 

"The dress on the photo was left at a market in GZ, with the delicious dragon fruits. I left there and some 10 minutes later, when we walked back to that area, the dress was already gone and a young woman, that I think works there, was looking at us with a very big and friendly smile!!!!"

“The need to be loved and protected 

is at a peak when we feel 

abandoned and are 

particularly vulnerable 

to difficult circumstances.”
― Uta Hagen 

This is another dresstag from Clara Bohrer in China! 

Such a gift!!! xxxxxx

"This dresstag was left at the Guangdong Museum's small shop in Guangzhou. Alittle later I could not resist, went back there and saw the moment the young woman picked up the dress and looked very intrigued by it. She looked around and saw me, I guess she connected... and then she smiled. I smiled back and left."

Tell about it.”

Today's dresstag photo comes from  Guangzhou, China!!!!

thanks to the wonderful and so talented Clara Bohrer.  

She offered to take a few dresstags with her to China 

and last night I got this photo!! 
As I read her email 

I was bathed in a sense of amazement and wonder!! 

Besides the thought of my dresstags on foreign shores, 

I was bathed by the wonders of life!! 

"The dress on the photo was left at a market in GZ, with the delicious dragon fruits. I left there and some 10 minutes later, when we walked back to that area, the dress was already gone and a young woman, that I think works there, was looking at us with a very big and friendly smile!!!!"

These past days I have been struck by
how the universe provides,
sometimes you are aware and
sometimes it takes awhile for awareness to sink in.
I am amazed on how much I struggle with this idea
but time after time it is proven to me -
a text when I am feeling lost,
a substitute job offer after paying bills,
the help of a neighbor with a snowblower after the very heavy snow,
the list can go on and on.
but you do need to pay attention, be open & trust!!

So as the hustle and bustle of Christmas swings into high gear,
remember to pay attention and live your life to the fullest and
be astonished and amazed!! xxx

peace
