When Left Alone at Home to Roam…
I’m a definite homebody. I need my space and my time in my home to ground me. If other people are around the house, I’ve got a history of …
Making Room in My Life for Me
I have been emerging back into my life as I fight to be needed less by others. I fight more to show up for myself where I am needed which currently involves time in my craftroom. The craftroom being an analogy for my creative life. I believe this withdrawal into myself is the product of…
Intentionally Causing Change
Am intentionally causing change these days. Spinning my creativity, doable changes, I’m gearing up to enjoy my blog and my life this year.
A Shift from Here But Where is “Here”
I started my year with an intention to make a few shifts in my life. Here’s what’s happened in the past month. I’ve changed my mindset about my body, about writing, about Me time, and about productivity. I’m in a different place than I was even a month ago. I now live a slower less…
Savoring the Last Moments of Summer
I allowed myself to lay in bed in these past several mornings. I don’t feel the need to leap up and go downstairs for coffee. Most of the time, my daughter’s already up so there won’t be guarenteed time for myself down there. And there’s no need for productivity to happen immediately. This is just…
Realizations During This Un-busy Season

How We Learn to Be More Self Aware
I often say, “The reason that teachers know their subject so well is because they’ve taken classes in the same subject and reviewed the material over and over until it’s drilled into their heads. By the end of their educational careers, soon to be teachers will have had four or five years of concentrated studying…
Finding my Way out of the Grief Maze
I’d tell you to stop me if you’ve heard this but you probably have heard it and I certainly can’t stop repeating myself. In my post Re-Being Me, I mentioned how I feel like I’m just now coming back from my post tail spin turned time out when I took a seat, dialed it all…
Our Drums
I realize that recently, I’ve been holding on and out, holding my breath for a shift. It’s as if I’m perpetually hoping for “the shift”. The change of perspective and vision for my future, my purpose, my calling. Like waiting for an appearance from God, I want to hear the beat of my drums. Waiting…
