Happy Friday! It’s spectacular in Pittsburgh today—blue sky and fresh breezes and tweeting birds as far as the eye can see. What a fun week—last night was my grandma’s 86th birthday celebration and later today I’m off to the woods to celebrate one whole year with my sweet and brilliant boyfriend, who my brother says is now officially my “old man.” Spring is in full gear and all the possibilities I envision and dream of seem perfectly reasonable and doable. Hope you are enjoying yourself wherever you are, too.

Here’s what happened this week on The Sunny Way ...

• Monday I shared some thoughts on a few TV shows I’ve been watching lately—Dollhouse and Six Feet Under—all about conditioning, particularly for women, and why it’s so important for us to get over these old patterns of behavior so we can create something new.
• Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, Victoria wrote about Ahalani, a gorgeous, solar-powered, energy-efficient home in Long Island, designed and built by its owners Campbell Dalglish and Catherine Oberg. I loved reading all about this! Do listen to the mp3s if you get a chance, too—there’s so much great inspiration and information in the interview.

Today I’d like to share with you a very sweet blast from the past: the Muppet-ladies of Sesame Street reminding us of everything we women can be. This is a topic I intend to revisit in the next few weeks, because it’s desperately important to our being able to fully participate in creating a better future. The world needs us to take a bigger view of life!

Enjoy, and have a great weekend.
