My wish for myself, and for you
I went to the doctor Friday, and I was livid when I left. I keep prefacing everything I write here with a disclaimer saying I am not a medical professional, and you should take what I say as simply my experience and what’s working for me, and to check with your doctor before making any…
I shared in my previous post that I’ve been on a bit of a journey with my health, and I wanted to explain what I’m doing, why, and how it’s been going. It may help you, it may not. Take what you like, and leave the rest. A friend recommended I read the book, Integrative…
That is the question. I’ve been making some health related changes in the past few months, and many times it has occurred to me that I should be blogging about all this. I finally got some information Friday that pushed me to start posting. So, in a way, I’m starting at the end. Well…I’m not…
I’ve been spending a lot of time lately going through boxes and boxes AND BOXES of “sentimental items,” Those are the very last category of the Kon Mari method, for those who have read or watched Tidying Up. Marie says you should save this cateogry for last, because it’s the most difficult category to let…
So we’ve been going through a thing here for a week or two, and I was tempted at times to post one of those Facebook posts asking for “thoughts and prayers” for Daisy, but I never did. I think I wasn’t willing to open myself up to the possibility that this might not end well,…
Today is my mom’s birthday. It’s been almost five years she’s been gone from this earth. I often think of her, and I feel her with me sometimes when I go into the library or a yoga class or a coffee shop. Sometimes I’ll consciously ask her if she’d like to go with me into…
I had quite an epiphany this weekend, all brought about by a pet gate. (Sometimes it doesn’t take much.) I’m going to tell the story, and you can feel free to let me know at what point you get it. I can assure you, it will be about three years and 364 days before I…
Part of the reason I love what I do for a living is that it gives me opportunities to continue learning. If one is going to train other people, one must be trained. As I learn more and more about quality early childhood experiences, I reflect and learn more about how my childhood made me…
Remember how I’m walking 1100 miles on my Peaceful Joyful & Free Trail? Yeah, I’m still doing that. I didn’t reach my original goal of finishing by my 45th birthday. In fact, I’m nearing my 47th, and I hit 695 miles today. I follow Cheryl Strayed on Instagram, and today she posted this. Apparently on…
That’s a clickbait-y title, but I really did. For a good reason. This morning my boss and I had to give a presentation to the board of the organization that funds us. We were both a bit nervous, but we were so full of success stories and excitement over what we’ve been able to accomplish…
