Don’t Forget Your Hat!!!

April 13, 2010

Well, I’m determined to put something up today, but I’m going to keep it short because it’s deadline week (again!) and I have some juicy stuff to get up on the website and then a newsletter to write to get the word out about all the cool stuff that’s coming up soon…. This is kind [...]

Pick your battles- and pick your stories!

April 8, 2010

This post was inspired by a conversation on Amber Strocel’s blog about crusts. You know- the things you cut off your kid’s sandwiches, or the things you don’t. So before we go much further, let me ask you a question: What is your position on crusts? The kids who eat them and the kids who [...]

April 5, 2010

Funeral for a furry friend

March 26, 2010

Funeral for a furry friend… This week we had a profound experience in our family. AJ’s rat Cutie died. It wasn’t a complete shock, because over the last few months, she had started to look much more frail and old.

Do-Overs and High-Fives… the soggy Tuesday edition

March 23, 2010

Well as you can tell, I’m still finding my feet with my new posting schedule… but I’m going to give it a few more weeks before I make any rash decisions.  New habits take time to get solidly established- even when the old ones aren’t working. So on to this week’s triumphs and ummm, uhhhh, [...]

Systems Failure and the Domino Effect

March 19, 2010

You may recall from Monday’s post that one of the things that was making me feel anxious was the fact that I hadn’t been keeping my calendar up to date.  I was starting to get really worried that I was going to forget an appointment, double-book myself, miss something I really wanted to do, etc. [...]

Do-Overs and High-Fives… the Spring is Springing Edition

March 15, 2010

You know it’s spring in Colorado when you wake up to a powdered-sugar dusting of snow in the morning and by noon the sun is out and you’re ready to shed a layer! I love the change of seasons, and especially spring. (Though in June I’ll be saying the same thing about summer, and in [...]

Where Does Your Garden Grow?

March 10, 2010

It’s probably no surprise given the teleclass I’ve been working on, but I’ve been thinking a lot about how and where we plant the seeds of change in our lives.  So often it seems like we think of all the things that are ‘wrong’ with us.  Things we’d like to ‘improve.’   And although I’m [...]

Do-Overs and High-Fives… the first Monday edition

March 8, 2010

Well it’s no surprise that last week flew by.   Coming back to my life after a big break felt really good, despite all the catching up there was to do.  Doing this review on Monday may take a little getting used to, and I can feel that there’s another category that I’m going to want [...]

Bloggy guilt, idea indigestion and Seeds of Change

March 5, 2010

Well I’m so glad I let myself off the hook as far as posting for the end of February.  But I’ve been feeling like a neglectful blog-parent all week. I forgot how much is involved in re-entry.  And it’s not just digging through the mountains of email or phone messages to be returned (especially when [...]
