Pouring out.

I’m reminded tonight, as I sit to write about all the things on my mind of something Matt said once in a VPost while he was recording in Austin. He talked about feeling vulnerable, having the jitters, and being nervous. He goes on to talk about his emotional attachment to what he does [...]

Re-birth

I haven’t been writing here much.  Mostly because I’ve been writing so much on my yoga blog.  And truly, the Challenge has been taking up a lot of my energy.  Both in the area of blogging and just overall.  But I felt like I should take a little time to write something that had little [...]

Fighting

If you follow my other blog, you know I have been pretty exhausted today. In fact, I was so worn out earlier that I had a veritable meltdown. Complete with crying and feeling hopeless and sorry for myself. I definitely have had finer moments. But as I have said before, this [...]

Normal

I haven’t been talking much about my raw food experience. Several reasons, really. But mostly because it’s just so.. complex. I find it hard to write about it. Also, it changes daily, which is probably the perfect reason to blog about it. But anyway, I haven’t been saying much. [...]

If I could…

If I could only do this one thing
I would find within myself the strength
to let all the things that used to be
all of the things that don’t matter
I would let them fall
Let it go
If I could only say this one thing
I would find within myself the courage
to say, “I forgive you..”
a thousand times over
even when [...]

I need a vacation..

So imagine you have ten days off.. Or, rather your husband (read: partner, lover, wife, breadwinner. et al) has ten days off. Er go, you have ten days off, right? uh NO! What you now have is ten days of complete and utter mindless chaos in which you will have to surrender [...]

crisis and concentration..

Lord help me, I am writing yet another blog for the day..
For those of you that have been paying attention, which I think amounts to about four readers total, I have been a little moody lately. One moment posting lengthy commentaries on religion and social issues and the next moment posting oddly positive observations [...]

You deserve to know..

It’s been a crazy few days. Dave took this week off. Ten whole days of not working. Awesome. And yet, five days in to this “vacation,” I feel far less rested than you might imagine. I’ve been telling everyone (who will listen) that we are having a non-vacation type of [...]

I can do anything.

I can do anything. I can.
I don’t say this flippantly. In fact, it’s probably taken me the entirety of my 29 years of life to get up the courage to say it. I can DO ANYTHING.
I believe every day we wake up, eat, shower, dress, move through our domestic rituals, and never [...]

Under the weather..

Today I woke up feeling sick. Not deathbed sick, just that achey “things aren’t quite right” kind of sick. I have been sick, the kind of sick that lands you on IV antibiotics in the hospital. But most of us, myself included, don’t get sick like that often. But this morning I [...]
