Things I learned today… I did not work today. Not once. We had a great time at the farmer’s market. Keith bought peaches. We we got to see some of our favorite folks today. The food at Home Place Pastures is delicious! Real food. It was rustic, we sat outside, a breeze was blowing, bluesContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Saturday, July 3, 2021”

We Should Probably Stop
We should probably stop doing that thing where we think the house has to be sparkly clean for somebody to come over. That’s why nobody ever comes over, five years go by, and we complain that we never have any get-togethers. We should probably stop doing that thing where we keep trying to dress ourContinue reading “We Should Probably Stop”
Things I Learned Today / Friday, July 2, 2021
Things I learned today… I am thankful for the reasonable, supportive, loving dance families I have. It’s a privilege to be a part of the lives of such good people. When we go through a rough season – illness, a job loss, relationship troubles, whatever – we worry. Sometimes we don’t want to hear thatContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Friday, July 2, 2021”
Things I Learned Today / Thursday, July 1, 2021
Things I learned today… I have worked nonstop to tie up all the details and make all the decisions surrounding class confirmations. Grueling. Had a blast people watching tonight at Huey’s. About the time you think it’s just a regular, old Thursday night…*boom*…personal entertainment. Decision Fatigue is a thing. This is the week that whenContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Thursday, July 1, 2021”
Fear / Choose, Trust, Insist
Fear is a bitch. Should I wear this? I’ll get someone to go with me. What if this doesn’t work? Am I too old? Why are they asking me so many questions? I should do this some other time. What if I mess this up? I consider myself pretty fearless, and I give a meanContinue reading “Fear / Choose, Trust, Insist”
Things I Learned Today / Wednesday, June 30, 2021
Things I learned today… The only thing that got me out of bed this morning was pure self discipline, because crap, I was sleepy. The easier you are to offend, the easier you are to manipulate. Put that in the bank. Helped a turtle across the road today. He was as big as a dinnerContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Wednesday, June 30, 2021”
Tough Love / Busy vs. Productive
Busy vs. Productive…figure it out. It’s a trap we all fall into from time to time. Step back. Evaluate. Modify. #windowseatsense
Things I Learned Today / Tuesday, June 29, 2021
Things I learned today… Taking Hudson, our 8 month old Cairn Terrier, with us in the car is a workout and an effort in extraordinary patience. I think this world is way backwards partially because moms stopped carrying wooden spoons in their purses. As I was backing out at Sonic tonight, I happened to makeContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Tuesday, June 29, 2021”
Tough Love / Excuses Not Reasons
You’re only as good as the tape that plays in your head. And for the love of all things holy, stop speaking negatively out loud. #windowseatsense
Things I Learned Today / Monday, June 28, 2021
Things I learned today… I am in refocus mode. I’ll admit that my time is not always spent as wisely as it could be and that my energies need to be shifted. I have my brain in the right place. I’m thinking of culling down our Facebook “Friends” list. I believe our lives and theContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Monday, June 28, 2021”
