Back on the early morning wake up train! 4:30am today. I use the time to write my morning pages, space out and read. It is so quiet. My window faces east and I watch the sun come up. A trip to the grocery store. I had plans to clean, but no cleaning happened. Thomas came … Continue reading Saturday in April
As I sit here at my desk, I have the window open and listening to the peepers. We live in the house I grew up in. We bought it from my parents when they wanted to downsize a few years back. (Interestingly enough, when we lived in New Hampshire, we lived in the house Christian … Continue reading Change
The weather has been really nice this week. We need rain but we are still enjoying the sun. This afternoon I took my journal and my chair and moved it up behind the pool, to the edge of the woods. I sat and let the sun hit my face. Last spring we had some concrete … Continue reading Perspective
I have to be honest here, as I always am. I am really thinking about what I'm doing here writing this blog on a daily basis. Am I sharing too much? Why am I doing this? Is it good for me to write about things while they're happening, or do I need some time and … Continue reading Questioning
I carry my journal with me during the day and I write down thoughts as they come to me. I write down things I notice. I write down ideas. And I write down messages.

It makes it interesting because there are some days where I'd really like to write about those … Continue reading Breaking down
I am waist deep in The Durrells in Corfu. Have you seen it? I started yesterday and I'm happy/proud to say I'm almost done with the second season. The opening plays the PBS Masterpiece theme song and I get all excited. I really needed to get swept away into something like this - 1930's, Greece. … Continue reading What is life?
It was the last day of the Easter Bunny Adventure at the farm so Christian and I went out at 7am and helped play easter bunny and hide some eggs in the trees. It was about 25 degrees. Brrr. Grocery store and cleaning this morning. I picked up a Polish babka from the store. And … Continue reading Wild
Writing here each day has allowed me to see the natural waves of my days and weeks and months. I feel good, I feel like myself, I'm moving forward. And then something happens to disrupt the flow. I don't feel well or one of the kids had a bad day or it's a full moon. … Continue reading Notice
I could not focus for the life of me today. And I'm sitting here wondering what I should do about that. As part of my Artist's Way exercises, I've been writing affirmations and prayers and encouraging words. So, I thought I just might share a bit of that. Maybe this is the deal we've made.I … Continue reading The Deal
