moments of quiet.
For the past year, I’ve not had much in the way of peaceful moments. I’ve either been overwhelmed and axious or have felt guilty when taking any time for myself to read and rest. There have been very few moments of peacefulness. I have decided that I need to give myself a break and have
headspace.
This week, I worked on picking up a few new habits to help deal with the anxiety of everything that’s going on around me. For one, I subscribed to Ma href=””>headspace, an app for learning to meditate. I’ve tried a numbre of times to start meditating, but nothing could convince my monkey mind to slow

Camille and I had a wonderful week in NYC, taking time for ourselves and doing the things we each wanted to do …
best self – 10 aug 2017
I’ve had a number of fails, but also some wins in being my best self this week. Here’s hoping for an even better week this week (in NYC!).
best self – 3 aug 2017
This month is (hopefully) about being my best self. Making good choices and taking care of myself. It’s not easy when I have so little control over my time, but I’m going to really try.

With the first of the month, my theme is about to change…
ownself. – 27 jul 2017
Volunteering. Kids’ music. Being at the beach. All things I enjoy doing. Making sure I have time for me instead of always putting everyone else first.

I’m terrible at self-care. I let everyone’s needs and wants come before mine. I need to start standing up for what I want more and stop trying to be so considerate of everyone else that I don’t get to do the things I want to do.
brain fog.
Lately, I’ve been finding it almost impossible to concentrate on anything. Perhaps exhaustion? De-hydration? The heat in general? Stress? Getting out on the mountain can help with my cloudy brain, but the heat is too oppressive at the moment. The past couple of weeks I’ve tried to get adequate sleep (some days I feel rested).

Another week of pushing to get in some “fun” time, whether it be a new experience or taking time to return to an old favorite. I’m tired and would rather just nap and read, but making time for interesting experiences does help with lessening the feeling of drudgery. I know that time is running out
dailyX – 22 jun 2017
Self-care was the theme of the month, but when kid issues came up, I put self-care on the back burner … (and then I got burnt). So I’ve changed my focus to finding something interesting to do each day. A new experience, time with family or friends.
self-care – 7 jun 2017
May was a month of circles. June is a month of self care. I’ve been doing fairly well, but there’s lots of room for improvement…. Here’s to a better week next week!
got ink.
My goals for this year are very few. There’s too much uncertainty, and I am lacking free time to do the things I had originally planned to do this year. Chloe drew the design based on the diamorpha at Arabia. And I had it tattooed onto my wrist: Cross that off my list!
to thine ownself be true.
Rings. I like the idea of rings. My wedding ring has been a tight squeeze to get over my knuckle since I was pregnant, so I’ve been going without rings for years now. But last year while we were in Galway, I let the girls pick out Claddagh rings. And I found a thumb ring
resolutions.
New Years Day. The day for resolutions. Some may find it to be a bit cliche, but I like the idea of starting with a clean slate. Last year, one of my resolutions was to get in at least 10K steps a day. While I had some days that for various reasons I missed my
dye job.
For years and years, I’ve dreamed of dyeing my care a crazy color just to do it. I never had the nerve. I dislike how I look so much that I have a strong desire NOT to draw attention to myself. But 2015 was my empowering year, and, while I still have an overwhelming negative
