There are very few blogs I read. I’ll apologize now if you think I’ve been reading your blog. Chances are I haven’t but I’ll put the blame squarely on the shoulders of my attention span–it’s much shorter on a computer as I prefer to read books. Oddly enough, a book in my hand doesn’t suffer… Continue reading Text. Love.
With the New Year comes some new promises to eat better, exercise more, drink less wine, and read a book instead of tweet. At the end of 2015, I also promised to write a blog post every single week. Yeah, and then March came along and I’m pretty sure my drive to write 52 posts… Continue reading Trying Something New for a Month
Despite the numerous setbacks for the week, I managed to take a picture every single day except one, and the one day had a very good reason. I had to get an MRI of my neck, and because I am incredibly claustrophobic, I was heavily drugged. There were no pictures taken on Thursday that I… Continue reading Photographer for a Month: Week 1
One of my goals this year was to become a better photographer. For some reason, I don’t take particularly good photos; however, I wanted that to change and 2016 is the year I follow-through. In March I bought a powerful camera from my daughter and haven’t used it much. After going through the beginning classes… Continue reading Photographer for a Month
For the sake of moving forward, I’m not even going to pretend that I spent one minute looking at myself each night in the mirror and loving each body part the mirror could see. Honestly, by the time I went upstairs to hit the hay, I was too tired to do much other than wash… Continue reading Mantra Monday
Turns out, it’s far easier for me to focus on finding pleasure in everyday things than it is to take the shoulds out of my life or to follow through on the 6 word days game. I easily found the pleasure in my Friday night’s massage, immense pleasure in the goose bump inducing warmth of… Continue reading Finding Pleasure In the Everyday Things
I It can get so old spending a tremendous amount of time in my head. I think far too much about these assignments from the 52 Weeks: 52 Ways to Love Your (Wild) Self. I wonder if these exercises are giving me a new perspective or is it adding to my never ending stress due… Continue reading Getting the Shoulds Out of My Vocabulary
I copied and pasted the questions and answered them prior to writing this opening paragraph because I wanted a chance to go a little deeper inside myself without stressing over the starting words. I dug a little further into my soul this time based on a previous request from a comment made on my blog, and… Continue reading Get the Should out of Your Life Theme
The empty heart I drew last Thursday first laid on the ugly oak kitchen table of our temporary rental and that is where it sat until dinnertime when it was then transferred to the desk to make room for plates. That is where it stayed for three days. Yes, three days. The emptiness spoke volumes… Continue reading Empty Heart Finally Gets Filled
I tried so hard to write a love letter to myself, I really did, but the reality is I don’t love or respect myself right now and for many good reasons. I know this seems like such a cop out but I looked at this exercise from so many angles. I put on my thinking… Continue reading The Dog Ate My Homework
