It’s been a whirlwind of a month and I have been busy every day with things I don’t usually do. Today is the day after Labor Day. A fitting time to get a routine started. 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 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.

My Aunt Maureen was a lifeguard so she could take us out when the waves were big. She taught us to jump the waves and toContinue reading “Beaches”
Checking In
How are you feeling right now? I just drove from the coast of California to the coast of Connecticut. It took eight days. We arrived yesterday., so I’m waking up to nothing familiar. My husband asked me the same question. I laughed, but… How AM I feeling? I feel like a stranger in a strangeContinue reading “Checking In”
Habits That Changed Me
What daily habit do you do that improves your quality of life? Stretching and meditation are two things I do every day. I didn’t used to stretch. I only had so much time. Meditate? I could never sit still while not painting. Now I start every morning with a series of stretches that I learnedContinue reading “Habits That Changed Me”
The Butterfly Effect
What was the last thing you searched for online? Why were you looking for it? I thought there was a movie about a butterfly beating it’s wings on one side of the world causing a tidal wave some place else. I thought it starred Jodie Foster. All I found was an Ashton Kutcher movie aboutContinue reading “The Butterfly Effect”
