just a minute / february

Photo credit

Just a Minute is back for 2011. I found this on Daydream Lily's lovely blog via August Street, late last year, and found it to be a really lovely little monthly activity.
Want to join in? Feel free - and make sure to send me a link if you do though, so I can see what you're up to at the moment!

So, this month I am:

Reading...... Year of the Flood, by Margaret Atwood. I'm a huge Atwood fan so I'm hoping it'll be a great read. I'm also reading A Path With Heart by Jack Kornfield - so totally inspirational.

Buying........ summer dresses (optimistically)

Listening......... to Augustito by Ketamba, old school No Doubt, A Tu Lado by Juanes and Antonio Carmona, Jamie Woon, James Blake and Wonderman by Tinie Tempah

Watching...... Tribe by Bruce Parry. Over and over, with such fascination. And, for something lighter, Big Fat Gypsy Weddings.

Loving.......... discovering new music, making plans for the future and exploring meditation and yoga

Planning...... my Rome itinerary - so very exciting!

How gorgeous are those photos, by the way? Stumbled across the photographer Cristina Hoch the other day and fell in love with her work! Love the first photo in particular - it describes exactly where I feel like I am in life at the moment; walking meaningfully and purposefully in the direction of something really special.

Oh Rome, how exciting - have you been before? It is my fav Italian city (out of the ones I have been to before).

I want to start buying summer clothes - particularly summer dresses for my daughter - but it's still so cold! And shops are rubbish at the moment because it's not summer or winter stuff.

I'm watching Big Fat Gypsy Weddings too! And I have the Tribe boxset but just not got around to watching it yet even though it's so fascinating.
