A Lovely Adventure

We just arrived home from a lovely little adventure ~ a week of reconnecting...

Here we are on the rock we got married on ~ Boulder Bay, Big Bear Lake, CA ~ 12.12.12

Ali ~ Fifteen years ago Michael and I exchanged our wedding vows on this big rock with fifty friends and family members watching and a few days ago we hiked back up to our special place to reconnect and share new vows.

Today we are very different people than we were back then.  We have traveled some rocky roads and experienced several tests of faith ~ raising a family, financial concerns, physical challenges, the illness of a child, vocational struggles, loss of family members ~ the usual things that many of us face.  All of those ups and downs have helped shape us into US.  We connected with our past and found we have deep gratitude for the lessons learned along the way.  We looked toward the future and established some new visions and goals.  And we shared our new vows ~ to simply BE Love for each other!  To be lovers of what is, no matter what we are experiencing.  To remember even in the difficult times to simply be a container for each others love and commit to continually share our love with one another.  Even when we are apart; to breathe fresh aliveness into US.

Thank you, Michael, for being my mirror, my muse, my friend, my beloved.
