everywhere.

Thursday, December 3, 2009 1 Comment

i feel very disconnected when i’m out and about all over town… or the valley really.
particularly disconnected, funnily enough, when i’m out and about all by myself.  this was just one of those days where, between yoga, coffee out with yoga friend and errands, I feel a little behind the eight ball on the home [...]

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

Tuesday, December 1, 2009 No Comments

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 [...]

wham bam, thank you… iterations of a christmas portrait!

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 [...]

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.  [...]

joy in leaping... a day

joy in leaping… a day

Friday, November 13, 2009 No Comments

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 [...]

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 [...]
