A New Year's Mantra For This Mama

This was our Christmas card this year. We are so happy in this photo...I get all warm and gold just looking at it. The ocean is really a place where we feel at home. Our holiday in California was such a peaceful, happy time, so we thought we'd capture it with some family photos.

Just before the sun snuck behind the blue horizon, we frolicked together on the beach, doing what we do best- just being. In the sand, in the surf, soaking in the great wide open sea that is better than any yoga, and man, I love yoga...

Our friend Rylan did a fabulous job- so grateful for his beautiful eye. Here are a few of our favs. I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas. We are taking time to reflect on the past year and observing its many teachings. Collecting and soaking in its wisdom. So many amazing moments and memories. It was busy and not always easy, never-mind loosing two beloved grandparents...we felt our mortality more than ever in 2012. It was a like a window opened, and we'd lay in bed at night feeling a deep emotional sense of gratitude for the life we have and for our loved ones. Spending everyday with these guys makes it so amazing and beyond worthwhile. We are looking forward to a wonderful 2013, focusing together on personal health. This mama's got a mantra- 'Nourished body, open heart, calm mind- happy life!'

Have you thought of a 2013 mantra for yourself? If so, please share! Last year's was DOMINATION PART TWO, and let me tell you, the universe delivered...but now we're a wee bit exhausted, lol. So we're changing our approach. The New Year will enrapture us with love, health, and maybe some sleep. That would be nice, but who are we kidding. Happy New Year everyone.

Love The Edwards
