I’m not a seamstress, I just played one on Tuesday

December 27, 2010

I went on a Secret Play Date with my friend Maryann on Tuesday, which turned out to be a wildly fruitful way to spend an hour on a rainy morning.

Wishing, worrying, and holding my breath

December 16, 2010

Change is hard and usually involves a lot of awkward, uncoordinated dancing: Two steps forward, way too many steps back. (Even one step back feels like too many.)
I need all the help I can get, and so I’ve been trying to create more rituals to reinforce changing habits and routine. Rituals that say now, this. [...]

Success and The Polar Express

November 29, 2010

Apparently I am a drama queen. Not outwardly, not even close.
But inside, in my relationship with myself–or my body, time, money, whatever. As I sort through some of my patterns and make changes and things work (they work!) it gets me thinking:
