heal.

one of the sweetest cards ever –

created by one of my kinders 

who “read” it aloud to me:

“I really, really, really  hope that your foot feels better very, very soon.”

(complete with a picture of me with one foot in the giant boot. )

“if you carry joy in your heart, you can heal any moment.”

-carlos santana

sprinkles.

“i’m going to need more sprinkles. my cookie is empty.”

(decorating with the kinders)

 

“i cant sprinkle sprinkles on.

i lose control when i have sprinkles.

i’m shaky.

i still remember the great sprinkle accident of 1982.”

jungle.

as we made our way through the jungle of giant leaves, 

only one of us spotted a tiger and we looked out for each other.
