This is going to be my last post in this space. I decided that a move was in order. You can find me here now, along with a little more information about my decision to stop posting in this space. I hope you will join me in my move.

transitioning from 9 to 10
Posted in my word on Dec 31st, 2009
I remember the year I turned ten vividly. For some reason, it was a significant moment for me. It was the year I got my ears pierced, but that was only part of it. I remember feeling like I was so much more grown-up after that day passed. Back in January, I chose the word [...]
no more shame on me….

Just wanted to share that I have decided to join Brené Brown in the read-along she is doing on her blog. I just finished listening to the first podcast, and it was wonderful!
keep breathing…
Posted in my word on Apr 11th, 2009
I just sat down to write this post, and I turned on Pandora, and the first song that came up was Keep Breathing by Ingrid Michaelson. It seems like a perfect sentiment for this afternoon. I don’t know if I have shared yet, but the boy and I are going to be moving back to [...]
springing forward…
Posted in my word on Mar 5th, 2009
Sunday is the spring daylight savings time switch. We spring forward. We lose time. At this point in my semester, when I am trying to get my house on the market and get grading completed before Spring Break, this isn’t something that I was looking forward to. This was my old way of thinking. Losing [...]
making decisions about “embrace”
Posted in intentions, my word on Feb 3rd, 2009
Tuesday is my day off during the week. And, I have been pretty protective about it. The boy and I both have. Teaching can easily bleed into time that you might normally have off. It is definitely not a leave-it-at-the-office kind of job. And, while I love what I do, there are moments that it [...]
something to remember….
Posted in intentions, my word on Jan 21st, 2009
These days, I need to remember my word for the year. Things will get done. Lessons will get planned. Projects will get completed. I can do this. I just need to remember.
year in review…
Posted in justforfun, my life, my word on Jan 3rd, 2009
As I have been reading through the year’s recaps all over blogland, I have been considering the manner that I wanted to recap the last year. I knew I wanted to recap all the crafty stuff I have accomplished the last year, but I wanted something more too. And, I stumbled across a cool idea [...]
another year…another step…another word
Posted in my word on Jan 1st, 2009
Throughout 2008, I lived with the word fulfill for all the things it wasn’t as much as all that it was. I wrote about that journey here, so I won’t recap it all again. In my reflection about my year with “fulfill,” I also announced my word for 2009. I have decided that “embrace” is [...]
oh my god, what did I do?
Posted in imperfection, my word on Dec 19th, 2008
A few months ago on Christine Kane’s blog, I read a post asking for volunteers to write about their word for the day. I didn’t even hesitate; I just sent in my request to write about my journey with the word “fulfill” throughout the last year. It was an absolute yes, so when I received [...]
