This is me, being in the moment, taking action and moving towards my goals. How? Because: I am at work on a day off with the primary goal of working on my writing. This specifically means that I am working through “Writing your journal article in 12 weeks: A guide to academic publishing success” by …
Hmm. I’ve been noticing a new trend in my conversations lately and it’s not one I’m proud of. I’ve been complaining. Quite a bit. Blech. I want to be full of positivity, energy and fun, not drag-me-down excuses. Time for some analysis and change. So where are these complaints coming from? They are pretty much …
NaBloPoMo, I’m trying!! Last night the problem wasn’t wordpress but our internet connection. Each time I tried to load, save or post a page I got an error message. I finally was able to write this post and email it to myself, and am posting it from work. I’ll also write a quick post for …
I’m sick. I don’t know if it’s a cold or flu or what, but driving home last night my head started to fill. It throbs when I move too quickly, my skin is sensitive to the touch and I’m cold and tired. Blech. Husband has been great, taking care of lots around the house and …
I just wrote a lovely post about the great fair trade fair that my students organized at the university today, and about how incredible they are – so skilled, hard working, creative, amazing, wonderful. IT’s been a pleasure working with them. Wordpress was messing around and the post is lost. I’m wiped out. I can’t …
Tonight I’m dreaming of an early bedtime. The week has felt long and full, and baby was up a lot last night. We got home after 6, it’s almost 8 and we just finished dinner. Husband will bathe her as I get ready for bed and then I’m dreaming of nursing her to sleep and …
Today is the Birth of Baha’u’llah, an important Baha’i holy day. I’m always glad for these pauses in the calendar to reflect and step out of the busyness of regular life. Last night we all went to the holy day celebration, the first Baha’i event I’ve been to in a while. It was really good …
It seems I can’t log into wordpress from my laptop the last two days. I have no idea why, it is frustrating, but I will survive. For now, I’ll email this post to myself and put it up tomorrow from work.*************** I’m reading a book about Montessori education right now and it is informing, inspiring …
Returning to work is not easy. But there must be reasons I’m doing it. Today was a bit of both. On the down side is stress over my girl. Her eczema is getting a lot worse, but I don’t have the time to deal with it or figure out what to do. I did a …
After a reasonable day (nice dinner out with family; no nap; some happy playing and some whining) we were heading into the evening stretch. After ascertaining that neither of us was very hungry my husband made up a deluxe salad for us. Baby, however, wasn’t in the best mood. Whine, whine, whine. WHINE!!! Argh argh …
