Have you ever noticed how one small change can open the door for other changes? Making the decision to quit school was terrifying, but since I did it, I’ve noticed so many other things opening up for me…
Work has been busier than ever, which is not necessarily a good thing, but sure beats boredom!! Honestly, [...]

I’ve been working through LK Ludwig’s Point and Shoot Journaling class and one of our recent assignments was to take pictures of things that appealed to us in some way. I can’t really explain what it was that initially drew me to this… ummmm… rotting (ick) jackolantern, but it seemed somehow something I needed to [...]

I’ve been working on what I call “completions” today. A mentor told me about the process many moons ago as a way to get unstuck about something in your life. There was just something about this sunshiney fall day, right before we fall back to our resting season (don’t forget to set your clocks tonight), [...]

When I was in New Hampshire in September, I had the good fortune to meet Kim Mailhot (The Queen of Arts) and just fell in love with her “big heart walking” approach to life – she was so sweet, so talented and just genuine to the core!! It wasn’t until I got home that I [...]

Last fall, I spoke with an energy psychologist, who I’d heard about through a career coach I’m acquainted with. Prior to my conversation with the energy lady, I had emailed her a list of things I wanted to do with my life – the list included quitting my job, spending a month volunteering at Kripalu, [...]

This stopped me in my tracks when I saw it yesterday on Story People…
It’s just too true for me. In school, I worry that my classmates won’t like me if I do too well. At work, I hide the best parts of myself (like my affinity for glitter or my adoration of my cat) because [...]

One of the things I loved most about Squam was the way people dressed… bright scarves, textured layers, patchwork aprons, chunky handcrafted jewelry… it was almost as if they treated their fashion choices like a mixed-media collage!
By nature, I’m not a flashy person – but I think there might be a flashy person hiding inside [...]

My studies led me to a rare treat this week – I got to go to Day Care! I haven’t been in a day care center in probably 15 years or more, not since Meg became a latch key kid and that’s been a WHILE ago. Part of my homework this week was to observe [...]

This is what I did this weekend…
At the coffee shop
In the art room
At the book store
On the patio
I’ve had moments that ranged from “hey, this isn’t so bad” to “oh my god, I’m never gonna be able to do this!” – but overall, I’m feeling pretty good. It’s going to be a LOT of work, [...]

Tonight is the big night! After 9 years, I’m returning to college to work on my Bachelor’s degree.
I’ll be working on a Bachelor of Science in Family Studies and Gerontology at Southern Nazarene University. I have to say I don’t really know where I’m headed with this degree, but my intuition tells me it’s the [...]
