I’ve been really drawn to bold colors this year and it inspired a slightly non-traditional Christmas color scheme…
Hung some glitter in my big patio window…
Downsized the tree (significantly!)…
and I’m letting the packages speak for themselves. Found the tinsel at Target (it’s sort of a faded gold color) and am LOVING it on my brightly colored [...]

I love gift giving – love selecting the perfect gift – love packaging it just so – love viewing the recipient’s delight when they open it. But, I have to admit that I am struggling to get started this year. I’m finding myself getting stuck in the land of “enough” this year…
how much is enough [...]

Love this poem by Maya Stein (by way of Superhero Journal)…
By Inches
You want it here and now, a remedy for everything
gone wrong. A magic wand, perhaps, alighted
on your shoulders. An angel whispering
sweet nothings while you sleep so you wake benighted
with certainty that you are whole once again. You realize
your patience is diminishing, and yet what’s [...]

I have a confession to make – someone (don’t remember who) shared the quote from “Anthem” that I used in my last post and I didn’t even know it was a song (thanks Row for mentioning it). When I went and listened to it, I was 1) blown away by the song and 2) blown [...]

I’m a terrible perfectionist. Last night I received a couple of papers back from prior classes – both made perfect scores, but the professors had noted some minor errors or omissions in each and I was just beside myself about it all evening! Mostly, it’s because both notations were vague and I have not a [...]

Lately my head feels full of cotton. I’m moving through the days on autopilot again (or still). My dreaming is worry-stuff… lists of unfinished business, showing up without a shirt, and waking with my hands asleep because I’ve been clutching some secret too tightly in my fists – make me think I’m missing something important.

I’ve always working to improve my internal language (in other words – be nicer to myself) and someone recently suggested using the image of an old switchboard… you know the old fashioned kind where operators unplugged your call from one place and into another (perhaps better) place by way of a big board? I loved [...]

I’m working on a paper for class about midlife turning points for women. The term we usually hear associated with midlife is… “midlife crisis,” but I’ve decided the whole thing is less “crisis” than it is a “shift in focus.”
When I was younger, my life was mostly about status – how hard I worked, how many [...]

Here’s something funny to continue the “simplify” idea from my last post…

Do passwords rule your life as much as they do mine? I have passwords for everything – shopping accounts, windows logins (home and work), email, this blog, and probably a dozen more. My personal password got me into trouble a year or so ago when somebody figured it out and stole my Amazon [...]
