striving.  looking ahead, while working very, very hard to stay right here and now.  last night i was all over monday… meaning, i would have been happy to see the universe jump off its tracks for one short twenty four hour period and move us all to tuesday… until today, that is.  today, monday, where [...]

power is in organization… and while i may not be a creature of much structure, when it comes to being organized, i’m pretty durned good.  i love an organized, tidy space.  i’m a big believer in one’s surroundings offering many an insight into the depths of one’s mental, emotional and spiritual health.
that isn’t to say [...]

it’s a summer, and soon to be autumn, that has passed for this 2009 and with all of the photos i’ve shot of the kids, not a one that could be considered a contender for this year’s all-important christmas card… until today.  under the promise of  warming up with hot chocolate and treats at our [...]

these wonderful, unusual, november days are striking in their warmth, clear blue and beauty… a typical november would leave us yearning to see the sun after days, if not weeks, socked in under clouds, perpetually hanging on the mountains, low and deep into our fair valley.  maybe even wishing for snow so as to break [...]

when one door closes....

when one door closes….

another one opens. yes…  little doors. some even tiny, alice in wonderland doors, curiouser and curiouser, but doors nonetheless.
and open they do…
with fresh inspiration. ideas.  hope.  to be followed closely, and with haste, by inspired action… after all, what is it the gurus say these days, “the universe loves speed!”
well, we’re working under that principle… [...]

battling fear. working hard to embrace not knowing. working harder to embrace surrender. working to be at peace with uncertainty.  knowing that i ought not be making this so much work!
my renewed enthusiasm for yoga is encouraging. exciting.  invigorating.  affirming.
my renewed enthusiasm for bread… not so much.
this is a navigation.  through vast, unknown [...]

the interesting thing about getting work… when i’ve been so looking forward to work… is pricing my work.  first inclination is to under-price… under-promising… so i can blow socks off.  but then i’m often left working for next to nothing.  as things are way busy right now and i’ve got a lot of things on [...]

for the blues

Saturday, August 15, 2009 No Comments

today… it’s all about working hard to stay the course, trying hard not to succumb to impatience. impatience quickly (d)evolving into discouragement. blues.  though for the first time, truly moving in the right direction, but feeling… that things should all fall into place… right now.
no. along with intention… there’s readiness. preparation. growth.  many components- pieces [...]

mouths of babes…

Sunday, August 9, 2009 No Comments

the babe may be only 10 and a 1/2, but he is full of wisdom beyond his years.  he has informed me that our (his parents) lives are lacking balance… all work and no family time.
as work-at-home parents, we sort of take for granted that family time is all the time, being so available.  not [...]

things happen for a reason… even if that means up all night with one’s head unexplainably hanging over a small garbage bin… yacking! but…
…as I say, things happen for a reason, and a day of rest was probably necessary.
the creative juices, while being encouraged to flow freely, have also been challenged like never before…
so, [...]
