Every Fourth of July we like to head up to the mountains with our family and hike, fish and make crazy tie dyed shirts. We’ve done them a few time to know now what works and what does not. After I posted this years batch of tie dyes on my Instastories I received a handful…
Caution Learning Curve Ahead
I logged on today to perform some housekeeping on the blog. The thing about having a blog is, it’s like anything else, a job, a vegetable garden, a dream, even a relationship, they all require attention and care. Ignore it and you may find yourself waking up one day to realize that the neglect has lead…
Resistance
The last week of summer is upon us and I am straddling two worlds. One without alarms, direction or to-do lists. The other filled with stacks of paperwork, unopened emails and projects that became covered in dust. I begrudgingly begin the transition this week back into a more structured life although my heart wants to…
Healing Jewelry | Beloved Crystals
A few weeks ago I was told by a very intuitive being that there were two stones that would benefit me along my journey of self discovery. Those two stones were Moonstone and Rose Quartz. I dove deep into the interwebz seeking the perfect stones to accompany and support my journey inward. One of the…
Light at the End
I sit here feeling motivated in the early hours to grab this little window of time to check in and tell you all that I am finally healing, on more levels than one. This week marks 11 weeks of ice, elevation, acupuncture, taping, grinding therapy and miles upon miles of recumbent cycling. I still walk…
Knee Surgery Number 3
Two months ago as I pivoted towards the kitchen I felt a familiar pinch in my right knee. I immediately took stock in my most complicated joint, twisting and rotating, asking myself what is this? I resumed motion but there was a new awareness, something was not quite right. The next morning I woke up and…
6 Years of Blogging
I wanted to make the effort today to come by the old blog and wish this space a happy blogiversary! It was just about this time, late Monday night, my hands were anxious to hit the big red PUBLISH button and officially break ground on this project. I worked long and hard to set up space…
Entertain Me | Week 5
I’ve been away and I’ve been home, I’ve sat down and dug deep trying to make sense of the world and the atrocities in it (words fail me.) I ponder the quality and overall efficacy of my self reflective posts, they sometimes feel a bit self indulgent. My fear is that I am contributing to a…
Excellence | Week 4
We are in the last week of January already oh lawdy say it isn’t so. I had BIG plans for you January B-I-G, this was the month that I was going to start the daily practice of meditating with a little motivational push from Elise Cripes’ Goal Tracker. I bought the download and had it blown up…
Back It Up | Week 3
Another week enduring Mercury Retrograde and I was this close to making it through unscathed. A few weeks ago I noticed my phone was restarting itself, a lot and then it would freeze but this week I got the blue screen of death and then a white screen of hell-NO! (read Yes Girl post) Did I ever write…
