Memory Making — My Christmas Outings WishList & Plan (Washington DC Edition)

December 1, 2022

Bonjour mes amis and fellow self-care-ellas!

One of the things in Nourish Noëlle (our Christmastime self-care journey) is to make a list of things that will light us up over the holidays. Not lighting up the hubby, kiddos, and extended family. But what will light YOU up.

This is your cue to create a Christmas WishList — things you’d like to do over the holidays. Outings. Memory making.

And please know that it’s not only ok but wonderful to paying attention to you, your needs, and your hearts desires. Remember you being happy brings happy to those around you too! It ripples. Just like a French pebble you’d find at Versaille dropped in the Ocean.

It’s time to make your list. Check it twice. And repeat: I choose to create these memories for the good of myself and the good of the all.

Keep shining bright Noëllas. And as you do so, know that you’re giving others the permission and encouragement to light-up and shine bright too!

I love you! 🌹

😘 Gigi

My eyes are closed. But that’s ok! I’d rather have the “flawed” pic of me to trigger the memories from a great night. Everything doesn’t have to be perfect! We’re at Myron & Judy’s Christmas Party for Miles poker buddies and their wives. Neat to be around his Wednesday night buddies!

Oops. I almost forgot. This is my list of all the stuff I think it would be fun for us to do this year coinciding with our Christmastime gridwork in Washington. Even if you’re not in DC you’ll an idea of the process. . .

  • Christmas Tea at The Willard
  • Tea at the new Salamander DC (formerly the Mandarin Oriental) fab fact we honeymooned at Salamander in Middleburg
  • Lunch at Filomena’s
  • Dinner at La Chaumière
  • Shopping at the Galleria
  • Late lunch at the Neiman Marcus Café
  • An Outing to Old Ebbitt
  • Christmas Carol at Ford’s Theater
  • Hillwood Decorated for Christmas
  • Season’s Greeting’s Holiday Display at The United States Botanical Garden
  • Princess Grace Exhibit — Grace of Monaco: Princess in Dior Exhibit at Hillwood
  • Mount Vernon at Christmas — lunch dinner or brunch at the Inn, touring the mansion, candlelight tour, and walking the grounds with our Furry Princess Mia (we may need two trips to Mt Vernon)

Now from here, I’ll go over this list with Miles. Most of it he’s already heard of because we’ve already been talking about it! And I’ll see how he feels about it. And what he would want to add. Or possibly not do — after all as we remain lit we want to make sure others don’t feel dull or dim doing things they don’t want to do.

So I will tell you Miles will add (Again, I know this because we’ve been talking about it!) . . .

  • The Scottish Walk — Iconic Old Town Alx Christmas Time Parade, bell ringing (yes, we ring the bell one o’clock at King & Lee where WhyNot? used to be), private parties hosted by friends all over town, the Oyster Roast at The Boat Club followed by →
  • The Parade of Lights — The Annual Holiday Boat Parade on the Potomac River with the boats decorated for the holidays visible from our Old Town Alx Neighborhood, as well as spots in DC
  • Waterskiing Santa — A Christmas Eve tradition we can watch from Nautical Jiles
  • More walks outside (ok not specific to the holidays in Washington but it’s really important to Miles right now!)

Now pretty much everything on both our lists the other will want to do. Our interests are pretty similar. Our divine union is very strong — it is after all a major part of our soul mission to re-grid divine union on this beautiful blue planet, wayshow our beloved bliss, and share our codes for the good of the all!

Ok. Yes. Now back to the lists. The possible exception on the xmas memory making lists for us would be a Christmas Carol at Ford’s Theater — just because we’ve seen it so many times not because it’s not great. So we’d probably rather spend that time on something else. Either another show. Or relaxing. Making time to relax is critically important to your self-care too.

We’ll also look to see if something needed tweaked, for example, I’d add onto Miles’ more walks and say: go for walks in different neighborhoods to get some exercise and see the architecture and lights and soak in more of the season!

Also, if there’s something Miles doesn’t want to do on my xmas memory making list, I’ll feel into if I wanted to go with a friend or experience it on my own. Doing things by yourself is a form of self-care too!

Here we are in ugly sweaters. All three of us. Miles, Gigi, and Fefe (the Furry Princess’ dead sister). Watching Waterskiing Santa and his friends on Christmas Eve. Hosting a few peeps with some light hors d’oeuvres and drinks on Nautical Jiles.

And lastly, we’ll have a lookey at the list to see if there is something we’d like to do with another couple, or a party of people, to bring a different element to the experience. For example, we’re going to watch the Parade of Lights from our boat. Nautical Jiles has one of the best views of the Holiday Boat Parade of Lights in all of Washington. So inviting friends to share that experience with us is a truly unique gift we can share with people we love. And what a special xmas gift to nourish someone in their holiday memory making.

Pip Pip Cheerio!

Did ya know “pip pip” mimics the double honk you’d here on a motorcar in the early 20th century? It's an upperclass British coloqualism for farewell.🎩 I learned that because we're Downton Abbey superfans! And Miles and I visited Highclere Castle — the real life Downton in Yorkshire.📺 It was one of the best days of my life! Full of intention, serenity, gratitude, luxury, playfulness, and beauty.🧚 Pure magic!🪄 Just like life is supposed to be.♥️

I love you! Pip pip. 😘 Gigi

A Valentine’s poem from the Furry Princess . . . A Valentine’s poem from the Furry Princess . . .
Ten days until Valentine’s Day. And oh how I use Ten days until Valentine’s Day. And oh how I used to dread that day before Miles. 

I just want to remind everyone. I didn’t meet Miles until I was 34ish and Miles was 52ish.

If you have someone you really love to celebrate with: fabulous. If not: celebrate you! And your fur baby, if you have one! 

Don’t give your power away to a day. Hold true to the fact that you are special, divine, and worthy of a magical miraculous love. 

Wait for the one. I promise. It’s with it. 

😘

One year ago. On our two week long, cross country, One year ago. On our two week long, cross country, drive to Las Vegas. We were so ready to just get there. To the bungalow in Summerlin. To settle in. Not unpack and pack up the car again. 

We were gonna push through. Almost there. One more ice tea from McDonalds. I thought. 

I made the wrong turn to get the ice tea. And we ended up in Sedona. 

It is a really beautiful spot. A picture perfect detour. 

And the next day. Before leaving for our final stretch through the desert to Las Vegas, I got my ice tea at the only place where McDonalds Golden Arches are actually turquoise.

“What’s going on?” I can feel the question i “What’s going on?” I can feel the question in the field as I consciously dropped off social to be more present during our trip to visit Grandma in the American Heartland. 

We’ve been staying with Grandma at her place. Taking her to her favorite spots. And watching lots of Hallmark movies (Miles brought his headphones so he could watch his own stuff on his iPhone. 😂). 

Today was the first time we went to Terra Bloom. And we spent the afternoon. Doing a bit of gridwork. But this trip isn’t about gridwork. It’s about Grandma! 💕

That said. When we were at Terra Bloom. I got a clear message, sitting on the veranda, in the cold, sipping decaf, overlooking the Mighty Missippi, that were to come back for the month of March. So there’s that. 

Some of you know this. Some of you are new. So here’s a bit about Terra Bloom. . . . 

Terra Bloom is a house I bought and renovated 15ish years ago. It became a family home when I got called back to Virginia — which was essentially me getting called back to fulfill my divine union destiny with Miles, who was in Old Town waiting to meet me. lol. 

Terra Bloom is built on what was once a Native American enslavement camp. I did not know that until a few months ago. 

It used to be very overwhelming for me there. Now, I able to live in a state of serenity. But it can still be very intense at times, to say the least. But not today. Not this trip. 

The house, Terra Bloom, the land, the history, and the wisdom is very significant in the tapestry of what we’re doing now as we bridge to the 5th dimension and beyond. And Indigenous roots are extremely potent and powerful in a past life that Miles and I shared where we were again in divine union and grid working. 

It’s all beyond fascinating! And a little mind blowing. 

More on all this later. But for now, back to Hallmark!

😘 Gigi (Miles & Mia)
