Hypnotized

This week has culminated in a Friday that’s left me  more than a bit stunned.
When I’m struggling to breath or when I’m searching aimlessly for the point to something  pointless I turn to music.  Music tends to sooth the savage beast of emotions that have a tendency to overwhelm me.  Here is Ani Difranco singing [...]

Karma & My “I’m Sick To Do List”

All of the toxic thoughts that I have had for the past couple of days caught up with me.  I’m currently in bed and not feeling well at all.  I’ve got my laptop here to keep me warm and a rescheduled hair appointment for later this afternoon.   I’m certain that my feeling ill  is a [...]

In Which I Think Illogically

Following my recent trip to Korea I was under the mistaken notion that I had actually evolved to a point where I was past anger, rage and the imagining of horrible things happening to people who made me mad in order to make myself smile and chuckle.  Guess I was wrong.   Last night and this [...]

Modern Love

I saw this post by Steveo and it inspired me to share one of my pictures.

The minute I heard my first love story,
I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was.
Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere.
They’re in each other all along.

Joe the Plumber meet Jill the Single Mom

In last nights debate we heard quite a bit about Joe the Plumber.  A lot was said about the plight of business and small business owners who might be taxed under Barack Obama’s tax plan.  Obama admits that if you make over $250,000 you would face new taxes but that those making less then that [...]

Blog Action Day: Children, the innocent poor.

Today is Blog Action Day 2008.
This year the topic for the thousands of bloggers is poverty.  A timely topic with the whole economy falling out from underneath us and with the impending presidential election, it seems a vital conversation  to be having.   It’s also a topic that I spend a lot of time thinking about [...]

Too Tired to Write

I’m painfully aware that winter is right around the corner.   I can’t help but appreciate how beautiful it gets right before everything dies and the bitter winds start to blow.  The winter usually finds me in a state of melancholy and the anticipation of that coupled with the cabin fever that is inevitable already has [...]

The Somersault

After my morning tea and some time spent online I sat down on the floor to play with my precocious two year old.  Much like my older daughter she is advanced in her expressive and receptive language and when I arrived home after my two weeks abroad I came home to a little girl who [...]

Messy Transformation

In my life transformation hasn’t happened cleanly.  I didn’t wake up one morning and decide that my life was going to look a certain way and then woke up the next and it did.  Instead, transformation has been messy.
The work of personal transformation started a lot like house or office cleaning.  My life started to [...]

Home

Life returns back to normal at an unsettlingly fast pace.  Although I have to admit that normal has improved with a two week vacation from it.
When verbalized it sounds selfish, but two weeks from work and motherhood and time in which I focused primarily on my wants and needs was splendidly delicious.  I’ve needed to [...]
