setting sights

Monday, December 7, 2009 No Comments

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 [...]

flow. course. stay!

Thursday, December 3, 2009 No Comments

i’m staying this wind-y course… posting this morning as last night was a festive evening of holiday cheer and networking with our little, local business community.  can you spell, f-r-e-e-m-u-n-c-h-i-e-s?!
anywho… a little overwhelmed as i weigh the opportunities crossing my path.
in this strange recessionary world, it seems that exposure has become the new currency.  i’m [...]

don’t worry… sit a spell

on the heels of a restless night… reading obama’s book in the wee hours trying to quiet the hebejeebies… i found myself in a pretty good state of mind.  opportunities arise.  they linger a little… and then move on, perhaps not what i thought they were.  keeping in mind the tale of the old farmer [...]

reflections in giving thanks

Sunday, November 29, 2009 No Comments

like almost everyone following this most holiday of american weekends, i’m thoroughly exhausted.
it was a great few days and there was none of the scrutiny- at least obvious(!)- of our choices over these recent months that i was anticipating.  there was no rationalizing… no defending.  in fact, i do believe our sense of ease with [...]

waiting in perpetuity…

Thursday, November 19, 2009 No Comments

or so it seems some days…
like dear honey pictured here, somedays i find it’s as though i’m actually waiting for something to happen.  not exactly proactive particularly on the heels of a night disturbed by dreams of blatant fiscal irresponsibility… and monkeys.  not exactly a good omen.
but the sense of restless waiting continues and [...]

it’s a tuesday…

Tuesday, November 17, 2009 No Comments

happy for tuesday… mondays can just sometimes suck and it’s hard to squeeze out the gratitude… so i just didn’t try.  tucked boys to bed, curled up the girl child with me and fell asleep with a good book.   yesterday… tired, cranky and getting bearings for a new week.
today, a little more on track.  [...]

what goes up… a day

Friday, November 13, 2009 No Comments

may come down a little….
or am i simply bi-polar?  the emotional ups and downs offer a better ride than even the circumstances themselves.
relied on an old vice… thank you coca-cola!  enjoyed a new one for today: chicken taquitos… yes, out of a box.  this will teach me to neglect yoga practice in the morning.  missing [...]

waves. undulation. ebb and flow… a day

Tuesday, November 10, 2009 No Comments

one moment you think you’ve got everything by the proverbial tail, and the next, well… you don’t.
i couldn’t help but laugh over dishes tonight as i considered either, 1. we’re incredibly daring and adventurous, throwing caution and conformity to the wind in this grand experiment…; or 2.  we’re so out to lunch naive it’s positively [...]

no big wins, just a series of little wonderfuls… a day

we are over two months into this leap of faith into determining our own destiny:  new, unfamiliar, scary… committed to making our living in ways that run true to our values and those things about our life which we deem vitally important… such as homeschooling our three kids, time with family and fulfilling, life and [...]

lightness… revisited

Saturday, November 7, 2009 No Comments

i came across some of our images from summer as I perused files for family photobook… and with the clouds hanging low in the valley for the better part of the week… this is where i found my happy place.
space heaters are a remarkable invention… early mornings and yoga are that much easier with [...]
