Short and Sweet

Do you ever find yourself in a moment when you ask yourself, I don’t know how I came to be here, but I’m sure glad I am. Yesterday evening I found myself with such unexpectedly wonderful company, just one glass of wine that I nursed all evening, a crackling fire and crunchy leaves under foot that I couldn’t have created a better moment had I tried.  Isn’t that the way?

In yesterday’s newsletter I mentioned the tension of opposites, and how we must have the tension so that we can experience the pleasure of the release – well, Friday evening was my release, and it was spectacular.

I hope your weekend is off to a wonderful start. I am truly counting my blessings as I see such overwhelming support and kind words in my bursting at the seams inbox.  I look forward to tackling it today and want to thank everyone for their patience with me as it isn’t until today that I have been able to address them.  I couldn’t ask for a better way to be busy.  Thank you tremendously.  The readers of The Simply Luxurious Life never cease to surprise and amaze me with their comments, support and cheer.
