#dizzyingdisarray

I scheduled my words week-by-week in January, when the outlook for this year was on a completely different spectrum…. Back then I was gearing up for a breakthrough year for myself. I have spent the last few years really working on myself, and when I scheduled this word I did it specifically because I knew I would need the reminder…. Normally we would be in the middle of spring sports, Easter, and…

This week’s word has been an interesting one to ponder our second week into the whole social distancing, no school, stay-at-home orders (who would have ever thought I would start a blog post with this… weird shit is going down right now!)….. It is the one thing our world needs right now….. A miracle.  My word is miracle and it was given to me by a dear friend’s little sister who is now a nurse- a…

Week twelve….. Seriously!!! I am one quarter of the way through my project, and I feel like its a good time to toot my own horn… or maybe have a little admiration for myself, for my dedication and follow through to get this far. Seriously, a year ago I wouldn’t have made it through week 2, that is not an exaggeration. But, here we are twelve weeks in.  To have admiration for someone is to look up…

Who needs a little sunshine in their lives? Its week 11 and all about sinshine.

Sunshine…. Oh how we love sunshine! Whether you’re walking on it, with a pocket full of it, with it on your shoulders, just let it in, have a good day…. don’t steal mine and there ain’t none when you’re gone! Yes, my word this week is sunshine, it makes me so happy, and I love all the sunshine songs!  Sunshine is not just a happy sounding word, it also affects our happiness directly….. And it…

The first thing that comes to mind when I hear the word vigilant is a wolf pack with a very watchful alpha or an old silverback looking after his troop ( I looked it up! It’s really a troop…. I may have thought it was actually called a congress because of a meme I once saw). He’s ready to take out any threat that dares get too close to his safety zone….. Ever watchful. The word feels very…

The Rocks on my Desk

I am beginning to understand what they mean when they say writing is a process…. I have to adjust everything around me and set myself a tone before I actually sit to write.  I need to get my mind turning in a creative motion… I always find myself rearranging my rocks before I can start typing. It’s a weird habit that I have only recently noticed. I love my rocks, love to paint them and to hide…

To be resilient is to be flexible yet hearty, buoyant…adaptable.  A resilient person is someone who tends to recover from or adjust to misfortune or change.  I bet we all have someone who pops to mind, or maybe even a few come to mind. I know, for myself, a few people come to mind.  As this little project plays out and I learn the power of the pause, I have been listening to books that could be…

I am so excited about this week’s word, my beautiful niece chose it and I am publishing it her birthday weekend.  She will be 8 this year and her word fits her to a tee! She is one of the most silly kiddos I have ever known; she is always smiling and giggling…. I can hear her giggle now.  The word silly itself makes me think of Jelly Belly jelly beans, curly hair, and a high pitched little…
