Oh, a magic treat from Jamie Ridler Studios today gets me back in the bloggery.
I wish to let go: of the need to know what’s next, plan perfect next steps, and figure out if it is the “right” thing. Whew. 600 pounds of unsightly worry, right there, in that wish.
Deep breath…

It is a bit of kismet that I stumbled onto this video while catching up on my favourite bloggers blogs today. It captures some of the things that keep bouncing around in my head, the “just do it because you love it and its fun” thoughts that collide with the “what’s the significance?” and “you suck” [...]

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and happy holiday with my favourite Christmas Song:

Wow, I have been completely out of commission for the last few months with this blog! All good and great stuff has been happening, and I have been busy, busy, busy! Coming up in the next few weeks, I will be sure to share some bits of my escapades including Squam, a lot of new [...]

That is all.
…monkey humper.

In the house these days, everywhere I look, there are bits of things: gifts, wrapping paper, half eaten cookies, random socks, yarn…in every crevice and covering every surface. Which, under most circumstances, drives me round-the-bend crazy.
Except that, when I crumpled into bed after another full day today, I realized that the bag of Lush Bath [...]

Breath caught at the base of throat
scared to breathe, to hope.
To hope perchance to fail?

Not stomach churning, bowel-emptying, paralyzing fear…it’s worse?
