to say i've been busy is a severe understatement. trying to work through my daily list of life while not acting severely busy can be tough. i am sure i give off the impression that i don't have time for 1 more thing... because i really do have time for more. those people & items that are more important get bumped up. my children deserve … [Read more...]
a cozy place. to sit and think. to rest my feet while digging into a new website design. the right lighting to jot ideas in my "big idea journal" for safe keeping. watercolors abound. a minimalist approach to living. the more you have. the more that owns you. each item in my home is intentional. intentionally placed in its spot. right … [Read more...]

i don't say "yes" when it interferes with a schedule. i don't say "yes" when it causes conflict. i don't say "yes" when i assume the result will not be happy-happy-joy-joy. i don't say "yes" when something requires my attention. i don't say "yes" when it means we'll be late. i don't say "yes" when it's not what i want. … [Read more...]
my face is round, like a small child's. my thighs are too big. my hips are too wide. child-bearing hips as they've been called. the more dead-lifts i do, the more bump i've got in the bum; which leads to jeans not fitting as smoothly as they did before. which leads to dissatisfaction that my cloths don't fit. yes, i've laid off the dead lifts. i … [Read more...]
