Welcome!

I am a liberal-minded homeschool mom who is constantly trying to find that elusive state of balance in my life while enjoying my two energetic, yet vastly different boys.

Our wisdom is all mixed up with what we call our neurosis. Our brilliance, our juiciness, our spiciness, is all mixed up with our craziness and our confusion, therefore it doesn’t do any good to try to get rid of our so-called negative aspects, because in that process we also get rid of our basic wonderfulness.

Off for a Few Days

If it is quiet around here the next few days it is for a good reason. I am off tomorrow morning for a Not So Big Life Workshop at Kripalu Yoga and Meditation Center. I can’t tell you how excited I am. I catch the train tomorrow and won’t be home until Monday evening. Of course I am also heading up into a mid-Atlantic winter snow storm, but I am hoping that things will be mostly done by the time I get there. Keeping my fingers crossed for an uneventful trip.

I am going to be leaving my computer home (big for me!) and am looking forward to an entire weekend focused on inner work - on seeing if I can identfiy how to simplify my life and re-focus my energies on what is important and what feeds me rather than constantly getting caught up in my to-do list. Man, do I need this.

I was not even sure if I was going to be able to make this trip at all, but it has been a lesson at letting things unfold the way they need to and lo and behold, everything fell into place quite nicely (well, except for this storm, but that remains to be seen).

I think I am mostly packed, so I am going to head to bed early and listen to the winds howl. I do have to say that I am very tired of being impacted by the weather so much lately…I am ready to get back to not having to think about it.

Wish me luck. I am sure that it will quite an adventure…

I just finished reading that, at your suggestion. I hope you enjoy the experience.
