I always wondered why merchants would put up decorations before December. It just seemed way too early for something that is already too commercialized. Now that I have a shop, I think I understand a little of the the reasoning behind this. Once Halloween is behind you, there is this race to get going before [...]

Fall Light
Posted in Friendship, Memories, personal journal, Ruminating, Seasons, Slow Living on October 24, 2011 | 5 Comments »
This is my favorite time of year. I also begin to reflect and feel a need for anchoring my life to some sort of weight. I miss this ritual of thinking and writing in this space. My life these days is bonded to another commitment, a creative and challenging one, but full of inspiration and [...]

My husband and I left yesterday afternoon on a road trip across the country…..destination? Washington DC. As I was driving my husband took a photo of this happy camper as we were passing. Shortly after we left Boise, Idaho where we had spent the night, we pulled off the road so I could take a [...]

I am devouring the book a second time. Every morning, before my walk, I sit down with a cup of coffee and Twyla. I write in [...]
Not Quitting

I am not quitting my blog. I am slow as this turtle in getting around and answering all the wonderful comments you have left over the last week. I will post more on why and the changes I want to make as well as the reasons for debating the idea in the first place. When [...]
A Sense of Place

I have decided to share a little more of my life instead of my silence.
