Friday Reflections is all about reflecting on the week by observing our senses. My hope is that this will be a gentle, easy way to tune into how we are doing and what we are experiencing weekly when journaling in general can feel so daunting.
Now, for this week’s Friday Reflections (with each sense as your inspiration, consider how experiencing it impacted your week).
Here is my sensory round-up for this week:
tasting :: Baked Honey Oatmeal with Raspberries and Pistachios. Crazy good. One word of advice: do not use muffin liners.
hearing :: The Leftovers by Tom Perrotta. Started this before the holiday but took break because of the break and am now back to it.
smelling :: Initially, burnt toast that no amount of candle could cover. Then came a crock of white chicken chili. And all is remedied.
seeing :: Really cool gray cloud patterns in the sky in the early morning as I go out to workout. So wintry and gorgeous.
feeling :: Excited about 2013. I just feel like I hit a reset button and that this year is going to be all about progress (and flow!) in all areas of my life.
wishing/hoping :: for a very restoring weekend.
What about you? What were your sensational experiences this week? Please share!

Your book Beautiful You came in the mail today. How could I not love it when the first line for Day One is: The book that captivated my heart and mind as a child was Harriet the Spy.
Me, too! Well, actually it captivated my heart as a grown up! I’ve read it so many times.
I’m a teacher, too! I also bought Hijas Americanas for reading on my iPad. Can’t wait!
Oh, Karen. I love that you, too, have a deep affection for Harriet the Spy (and that you are a teacher!). Thanks for checking out both Beautiful You and Hijas Americanas! So glad we’ve connected!
