Lil’ Loves: Catching Dragons…

He stared up at it in wonder and delight; lying on the warm sand as the beautiful kite flew overhead dipping and rising, the wind making the Dragon come to life before his awestruck eyes…

Arms outstretched he reached up, willing it to him…Mamma, I want to catch it!!! he said breathless with wonder and excitement as it drew closer, only to suddenly leap up out of reach again…

And then, as if the lil’one had uttered an enchanted spell, the wind relented and the Dragon fluttered down, softly landing to meet his loving embrace.

An unforgettable Memorial Weekend spent Catching Dragons w/ my Lil’one…Ciao for now  :*

Daily Life Loves: Ring of Fire and the Big 40!!!

Sunday before the Big 40, I was treated to my first solar eclipse viewing ever! And while in So Cal we did not get to see the much anticipated Ring of Fire! I was in total, childlike awe of the natural espectáculo that nonetheless unfolded before my almost 40 year old eyes!!!

It reminded me that there is still so much to see and do in this life and that this “milestone” of a birthday ushers in the best of what’s yet to come! La inimitable Sophia Loren said it best:

 

"There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age."

So to my now officially 40 year old self I say...Bring it On! and Ciao for now  :*
