this harvest moon i invited the beautiful ones i have here in fort mcmurray. the ones who see the beauty in things in a similar way. the ones who remind me of the beauty of this place. the ones who remind me of how fortunate i am to be in a place so wealthy in beauty. the ones who remind me of the beauty within. the ones i came here to find and the ones i came here to share with.

the food. where to begin. this was the first time i cooked a prime rib. mmmm. beef. the theme was foods beginning with the letter p. perogies. pot stickers. panini. pepper dip(roasted red with feta!). proscuitto wrapped asparagus. pizza with autumn harvest vegetables. potatoes. pumpkin cake. pomme crisp. praline ice cream. painted turtle shiraz and sauv blanc. keiths. ok keiths is a Pale ale. it was totally suitable.

my beautiful stomach is still recovering from a beautiful food hangover. still unable to eat with out that nauseous "i'm too full" feeling. still heady. loved the wine. loved the beauty of the biggest bouquet of asiatic lilies and ORB vase...love orbs

most of all i loved the dynamics of the relationships in the room. honoring the bellies and hearts of the beauties. the goddesses and gods blessed our feast....and nurtured our souls.

my heart is always with the beauties far away in distance. you are always close to me in spirit. i honor you daily in simply noticing the beauty of the place.
