Are you holding a grudge? About? I’m not proud of the grudge I held onto for too many years. I’m sort of embarrassed, but I didn’t know, what I didn’t know. That must be how grudges get started in the first place. Now, with more understanding, I let the past settle where it belongs, inContinue reading “Look! Understandable Reactions…”

Fun Re-regulating Ideas
It’s important that I pay attention to the moments I spend in regulation so that when I fall out, I have ideas. Morning and evening walks have been amazing. The weather is beautiful, the beaches are charming. Pink skies. Little breezes to cool off balmy nights. Walking, I find to be very regulating. Whether I’mContinue reading “Fun Re-regulating Ideas”
See my blog titled t r a v e l , that was me answering the prompt
Share a story about the furthest you’ve ever traveled from home. I’m not sure how it didn’t end up here. 🤔 hmmm I could add another story…
Learning…
I can’t say, for all my natural curiosity, that I always like learning new things. In fact, I might even say that I DON’T like being new to something that I really want to do well. Today I found myself at a yoga class that was different then anything I’ve ever done before. I wasContinue reading “Learning…”
T r a v e l
When I was a kid, I went to eight different schools. We moved from eastern Canada to west. Then back and forth from California a few times. I wonder if moving made me a bit of a homebody.

I loved my life in California, I miss all my family and friends terribly. I also miss the rhythm ofContinue reading “Curating a Good Life”
Home
What does your ideal home look like? I’m still a stranger in a strange land. And quite between homes, missing mine and everything that used to be familiar, completely. Now I just have too many questions and I don’t understand most of the answers. Aesthetically I’m lost. Function trumps form, (I’ve been reminded of thisContinue reading “Home”
My People
What brings a tear of joy to your eye? There’s a song by Aerosmith about not wanting to miss one moment. That song always makes me cry. It did when my kids were little I cried and now if it comes on when I’m with any of my kids I still cry.
Past Regulated
Life can be surprising. I’ve spent days worried or trying not to worry. I’m all about doing big and little things to get myself into a regulated state whenever I fall out. Regulating is a life skill I wish I’d learned in elementary school. Better late then never. I’m so glad I have tools now.Continue reading “Past Regulated”
Why
Why do I blog? Hmmm I personally am constantly asking why. It’s probably my most asked question, followed by how. I was born curious. Answering that question and explaining myself is something else entirely. I suppose I might as well turn my curiosity on myself for a change. I started blogging for one reason, butContinue reading “Why”
