Turning Over a New Leaf: Enjoying what I Have
I have written before about my insufferable need to always be trying to improve things. This little neurosis of mine has really served me well in life. I attribute it to much of my success. However, it’s really tiring. It takes up a […]

Not so evolved…
I’m really irritated with some of the folks I am forced to work with on the PTA. It irks me to no end when these unevolved chuckleheads don’t respond to emails. It irritates me that folks think I’m doing this stupid job because I love it or something. […]

Happy Revelations
• I have wasted so much time and energy focusing on what I can’t do instead of what I can. No more my friends.
• I do not want to define myself by the events in my life that have impacted my emotional and physical transformation. Weightloss surgery, international adoption, early retirement, career, etc. […]

Just a day
I had two nails taken out of my tire today. Where was I driving that I would have picked up two nails? What a hassle to spend an hour out of my very busy day getting that fixed.
This morning I woke up at 4am and realized I didn’t register by deadline […]

A little update
Denali took Reserve which means he was the second place boy there. There were eight boys, so it was a nice little pick me up. Of course it’s meaningless because we dont get conformation points for it.
Emma didn’t place in Jrs either show this weekend. Bummer. I thought she deserved […]

Creating a relationship instead of relying on the role
As a parent, when your child is in the preteen years, what is it you should be focusing on to get them ready for independence and the future? What relationship building blocks need to be in place to make the teen years less rocky and more of a partnership?

I’ll take “Feeling Like Shit” for $400 Alex
I let my fever run up to 103 last night before I finally took something. I was hoping that if I let my body be “hot” that perhaps my body’s own natural defenses would kick it’s ass. It was normal when I got up this morning, but is now back over 100. […]

Weekend Update
I’m blogging early this morning. In the hopes that writing will bring productive clarity to my day.
As far as illness goes, I’m much improved. I’m not dead. I am still struggling a bit with congestion and fatigue, but I think I’ve been able to starve off […]

Defining yourself by doing versus being
Ekhart Tolle talks about how many people define who they are by the roles they play. Mother, sister, friend, lover, computer analyst, retired person, fat girl, sickly, volunteer, athlete. But it’s not what you do that really defines you but rather who you are. Roles are […]
