Have you seen my new baby? Have a minute to check it out? Come see! I’ve convinced some people to take a chance on this idea I had, mainly Aleece and Christen and then I began asking people I find inspirational to participate. Guess what? They’re saying YES! It’s so exciting! First on the [...]

Spring break, broken foot style
It snowed 14 inches in the last 24 hours. That’s a lot of snow. The pass known as Berthoud that I have to drive over to get from here to home was closed for most of yesterday so I couldn’t make it down to teach my computer class. Also, the walking cast I’m wearing on [...]
Let the good times roll
You know the proverb “the only thing guaranteed in life is death and taxes?” That’s such a fallacy. Yes, death will come and indeed, we do pay taxes, but the other guarantee you can bank on is change. Nothing stays the same. I’ve spent so much of my life thinking stability will happen, if only [...]
Creating space
After the Integrate in the Rockies Retreat last November, I came home swimming in the murky waters of my mind. I had met a group of women who were forever more apart of my personal landscape, I had dared to be vulnerable with them and tell my story, and I was full to the brim [...]

Day 15 #reverb10 – Minutes
Prompt: Imagine you will completely lose your memory of 2010 in five minutes. Set an alarm for five minutes and capture the things you most want to remember about 2010. Sitting in the living room in Phil & Sarah’s house on Hayward with both cats on my lap while I finished reading The Elegance of [...]
Day 7 #reverb10 – Community
Prompt: Where have you discovered community, online or otherwise, in 2010? What community would you like to join, create or more deeply connect with in 2011? This one is interesting. In some ways so easy and obvious and in other ways tied to the post from a 2 days ago and letting go. Community for [...]
Sadie on the trail
One of the nearly immediate perks of #reverb10 that I have experienced is an introduction to fun photography apps for my iPhone. I’ve known they existed before but I wasn’t in a place to care too much about them, let alone use them. When @schmutzie posted her Wonder post for yesterday I commented that I [...]
Let it take you…
I am experiencing extreme randomness. It feels exhilarating but also like it needs a little direction. I thought I would put some randomness down. I made 2 pumpkin pies last night. I at 2 pieces this morning. Yum. I ordered the Christmas cards last night. I’m fighting over space on the couch with the dog. [...]
Afterglow
I spent the weekend with Jen Lee and Phyllis Mathis along with 9 other women in the most surreal and gratifying way imaginable. We told stories, or partial stories, we gained insights, we reached out and held one another’s hands, literally and figuratively. I made life long friends over the course of three days. I [...]
