Hello, September!

Woot! I love the month of September. Back in NY, the leaves would start to change and even start dropping in September. Yes, I love the color. I cannot wait to see the color here in the mountains of Western North Carolina. That is not the main reason for my love of September. I think… Continue reading Hello, September!

Slacking

I’ve been slacking on my writing. I’m going to set that straight. I started Julia Cameron’s It’s Never Too Late to Begin Again at the beginning of June. This book has taken me back to writing Morning Pages. These have been particularly illuminating to me but much more on that later. Today is all about my… Continue reading Slacking

Birth Day

Culture dictates we wish people a happy birthday. What about those of us who gave birth? That day is special for us, also. 28 years ago, this ninja came into the world. It was the last day of preschool. I was almost a full two weeks overdue. The twins had already spent the week at… Continue reading Birth Day

Hello March!

Normally, today would be a review of the last month but this coming month has my full attention.  Might have something to do with yesterday’s 50F temp and turning down the heat, forgetting to turn it up and a 21F morning. I’ve since warmed up but have a lot on my mind than any goal… Continue reading Hello March!

Happy Blogoversary or Bloggy Birthday, Belated!

Yesterday I was going through my posts looking for a post about who knows what. The issue appeared that I had missed my blog’s birthday or the anniversary of the start of my blog. I should put in a reminder now for next year as I know it comes in November but I never remember… Continue reading Happy Blogoversary or Bloggy Birthday, Belated!

Numbers

I probably wouldn’t be obsessing over numbers like I am if I hadn’t read all about August being Justine’s birthday month over Here Where I Have Landed.  Then, it dawned on me that my birthday month is next month. I have always been a numbers person.  Math is one of my things.  In high school… Continue reading Numbers

Twenty-three Years Ago

Lately, I seem to be writing about anniversaries or birthdays.  Who knew so much went on at the beginning of the year? Twenty-three years ago today, I was in labor.  It was a Saturday.  I can picture the snow on the ground, not freshly fallen but piles of it that I had shoveled from storms… Continue reading Twenty-three Years Ago

Twenty-five Years Ago Today

I know, who cares what happened on November 25th, 1984?  It is not a particularly important date in world history.  It is an important Sunday in my personal history.  Twenty-five years ago today I became a mother.   The day started out the same as many Sundays.  I woke up earlier than need be.  I… Continue reading Twenty-five Years Ago Today

Birthday Cake for the Twins

I cannot remember the last time I celebrated the twins’ birthday with them.  They were born 22 years ago last Saturday.  Since college started, they have always been away at college for their birthday.   This year, my daughter asked if I would bake a birthday cake before they left to go back to their… Continue reading Birthday Cake for the Twins
