Got new sneakers a bit dirty in the mud. I used to freak out when new sneakers got dirty. But they are made to be used and I go on nature walks regularly so it was inevitable. Looking at fallen trees, the messiness of this undomesticated nature in the park. There was this sense of … Continue reading Fallen Trees

Empowered Ebullience, Grounded Glee
I’ve had lots of professional projects recently. It can be a lot: all that excitement and anticipation! And then channeling that into properly chunked sessions. At times like this, I try to take a step back and remind myself that I am living the dream of my younger self that aspired to be who I … Continue reading Empowered Ebullience, Grounded Glee
Marginalized Musings
I am committed to getting a new notebook tomorrow. I know, saying big statements like this can be daunting, LOL. Behavior change is hard. But seriously, I’m getting a new notebook. I’ve used up all the spare pages of the three I’ve been frequenting (they started out as different topics but then I just starting … Continue reading Marginalized Musings
Your Window of Opportunity Awaits
This morning, I was opening a window to hear the birds chirp. I thought I had unlocked it. I'm like pulling and pulling. I'm thinking, “Did the humidity cause it to get stuck?” I'm wondering if these windows decided to copy my previous's home’s and be really hard to open. After a moment or so … Continue reading Your Window of Opportunity Awaits
Why Writing is My Art and How I Almost Lost it Forever
Kids who painted well in school were undoubtedly recognized as artists. Kids who wrote well? I mean, there were those poetry contests and the like. Maybe I just wasn’t that good of a writer back in middle school or high school. Maybe I needed to be broken open from the sudden passing of my father … Continue reading Why Writing is My Art and How I Almost Lost it Forever
New Year’s Resolution of Self-Compassion
How is everyone’s new year going? In the Jewish calendar, the Jewish New Year is followed by a few more holidays and the festivities culminate after about a month. And it’s a letdown to get back to “regular” life. Christmas begins this festive time of year for many, continued for some through the 12 days … Continue reading New Year’s Resolution of Self-Compassion
I’m with You
I paired the beginning lyrics of Avril Lavigne’s song, “I’m with You” to photos of today’s nature walk. Nature is grounding and an ever-present support. I hope you enjoy… “I’m standin’ on the bridge I'm waitin' in the darkI thought that you'd be here by nowThere's nothing but the rain No footsteps on the ground … Continue reading I’m with You

Less of a Chore, When Done Outdoor(s)
Built something for my home last week while sitting on a picnic blanket outside on my sunny lawn on a warmer-than-usual autumn day. It was delightful. Sunlight is so lovely. A great mood booster. In the olden days, people were outside so much more. And while I’m not saying I want to be washing my … Continue reading Less of a Chore, When Done Outdoor(s)
Lessons From A Not-So-Average Hike
Went for a hike last week. It was great. Except that my car had a sudden issue that I had to solve. I went in for some calm in nature, and arrived to a situation in which my car needed to be serviced. I didn’t get the relaxation I intended, but I got much more: … Continue reading Lessons From A Not-So-Average Hike
