I had a dream last night. I woke up and wrote it down immediately. I’m going to share it and leave it to stand on its own without commentary from me . . .
I was standing next to a pile of small rocks stacked in the shape of a pyramid that came to the height of my waist and I knew that they represented my need to argue and be angry.

Okay, I was going to go on and tell you about some things that have lead up to my resolution however I’m going to skip to today and what happened. I went along all day very happy, up beat, and in general on a steady path to being peaceful and loving. I worked for two different families and their children since 6:30 am till 4:30 pm and I coasted Continue Reading »

Okay, I’m going to be painfully honest and tell you that this whole New Year’s resolution I’ve committed to to be peaceful and loving really started seven years ago. When I began seeking healing from the past traumas of my life and my Life Coach pointed out, “The leading problem you’re having is with anger. Anger is like a drug for you, you’re addicted to anger and fighting. You need a fight somewhere in your life.” Eventually I came to see the truth of that Continue Reading »

“You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world”
-The Beetles
The Beetles sang about starting a revolution to change the world in their song Revolution. Once upon its day I learned to really like that song and its dum ditty, dum ditty beat but today I view revolution for world change through a Continue Reading »

I’m sitting in my kids kitchen, they’re cleaning, I’m typing, a country song is drifting from the radio, and the waist band of my Express Jeans are reminding me that I ate too much over the holiday’s and if I were honest I have in general since Zac went through this pressure sore incident–I’ve been using food as a soothing drug–and really the Great Wall of Chocolate that John, my son, brought me today from work at P.F. Changs probably wasn’t the best choice for me to Continue Reading »

Have I mentioned…I love the written word? LOL. I do think I have…more than a few times. I adore books, they grow everywhere I am. So tonight I thought I’d share a quick little memory/story of where this all began. It actually began a little before this, however that wasn’t quite as significant as Continue Reading »

Have you ever come across something that causes memories to flood your mind like waves rippling a shores edge? I had this happen the other day because of these salt and pepper shakers. I hadn’t seen a set of these in 50 thousand years and yet there they were on the counter of a family that I work for. The site Continue Reading »

After a full day of caring for a set of toddler twin girls I set off to take my walk with Caleb. While I waited for him on the street in front of his house I put on my white ankle socks and sneakers while I continued to listen to my newest, utterly delightful book on CD: “The Memory Keeper’s Daughter”.

You Tube Update… Youtube music surfing is now, for now at least, my new “thing” to do when I blog…So yes it’s currently going in the background, but more about that in a minute…
I really am quite mulit-faceted in many ways. I’m not one to just settle on one thing. Some take comfort in a mundane routine in their life. That would Continue Reading »

Okay, its 8:33, and I’ve had an incredibly easy day for me. Picked up Zac at 11:30, made him a nice “menu appropriate” meal which he loved, had a quick meet up with a women I’m getting to know and have been trying to get together with again for the last three weeks, then on to get the oil changed… I was a little over due like 2 1/2 oil changes over, then the mechanic and told me that my air filter and Continue Reading »
