This weekend I spent quite a while thinking about rules.
My rules.
The thing that started me on this happened on Friday. I had straightened the house like I usually do, then after the kids had been home from school for what seemed like 15 seconds everything was a mess.
Then a friend called and wanted to stop [...]

Still here? Good. I’ve missed you.
I must admit that the past few weeks have been ones I wouldn’t want to re-do… but on the other hand, they’ve been something I needed to go through. And there are lessons learned:
Don’t lose track of your own stuff. Remember those itsy bitsy things that end up turning into [...]

On Monday, I sat down to my desk all ready to work. The kids were all neatly dropped off at school. My “to do” list was ready.
I turned on my computer and was greeted by scary blue-ness… the kind that makes you want to go back to bed. The kind that makes you think in [...]

We’re a big lengthy today. I’m in the middle of a big project — one that’s fun, but so enormous that I’m finding it a bit… um… scary.

My friend Victoria Brouhard wrote the most beautiful piece about coming to terms with her fears, and it occurs to me that fans of Effie might enjoy this tremendously. Just read about Hedgehog Girl.
I think you’ll love it. Effie loved it, too.

Tina is going to be confronting my Troll, which is the scariest thing I can imagine. I once had to be picked up from preschool in hysterics after a reading of the Three Billy Goats Gruff. Honestly. So scary.
Last night I went to an amazing group, hosted by Fred.
Fred is a bit of an expert on the Law of Attraction. I’ve been interested in this for quite some time, reading and listening and trying to add it to my practice of meditation during the last few months.
Well, last night I was able to [...]
Surprise — it’s Tuesday! Thank you note Tuesday is happening on Thursday, in part due to the fact that my kids were sick this week and I’ve had to sit on two of them (gently, but sit nonetheless) to give them eye drops 3 times a day. Not fun.
Since this is a moment I am [...]
I’ve always been more than a little fascinated by woodpeckers.
They want something that they can’t quite get from the surface, so they chip away and chip away until, voila, they finally get it.
Any work on my “thing” feels a lot like being a woodpecker. I know something is down there. It has value and substance [...]
