I think a lot about healing and change and growth. And I think a lot about these last eight or so years that I've been shifting my inner and outer world. I will NEVER forget what my daily internal life was like back then. Some words that come to mind are - suffering, torture, anxious, … Continue reading Behind the Curtain
Driving down our street right now is like being in an old school video game. It's the squirrels. I'm not sure why they are so active this time of year, but man, they will dart right out in front of you so quickly. They run out to the middle of the road, stop, go back … Continue reading Back in the Saddle
Spring is the season that tests your patience. You get a few days of sun and warmth and you're on top of the world. Then, there's rain and cold. And the feeling that It's supposed to be warm out, it's spring! That was today. Dreary and cold and icky. Some time at the farm checking … Continue reading Happy
I really have been having a hard time writing this every blog every day. How is that for honesty? It's been four months where I haven't missed a day. But, as I sit here at my desk today, I really want to quit. I also know that these last few weeks have been emotionally exhausting. … Continue reading Process
I don't have much to say today except that I want to remember that this little girl is who I am. Messy, joyful and full of life. Being an adult is overrated. I've been an adult for a while and I'm done with it.Sure, okay, I'll keep going and do what needs to be done. … Continue reading Her

It's just that it feels like a shock to the system after this past year of slowing down. The 80's … Continue reading Purple Ball
We went out on a little family shopping trip to the mall today. New sneakers for Wes and Charlie. A young guy working in the hip sneaker shop told me he liked my sneakers. He said he hadn't seen any like those. I'm pretty sure unique is cool in the world of sneakers. Afterwards, I … Continue reading Leading lady
Yesterday Christian had four cords of wood delivered to the house. We have multiple giant piles of wood on our lawn. He's been prepping the shed area where we pile store it. The old wood has to come out to make room for the new wood to dry out. We didn't burn as much wood … Continue reading Downs and Ups
I've been thinking about this blog and my patterns with writing for it. I always write at the end of the day. My days start early, between 4 and 5 a.m. and I typically sit down to write at 7:00 p.m. My brain is tired. I've noticed I am more free and open with what … Continue reading Kind lady.
