2017-09-17 Austin Day 4: Sunday Wake Up

I woke up at 6AM at the conclusion of a dream I was having about a situation of injustice surrounding a child who did not have a voice of their own to defend what was happening to them. I had been trying tirelessly for hours to plead with the people around him or her to…

2017-09-16 Austin Day 3: A Well Balanced Life

Last night we had a very casual Friday evening with the kids. We talked and played and watched a movie and then after they went to bed Rebecca and I sat out on the deck and continued chatting over a bottle of wine. I kept mine to just a few glasses because I’m really intending…

2017-09-15 Austin Day 2: Connections and Perspective

Yesterday I met with Jill and Jason and met their little darlings for the first time. They are friends of mine who I know because of Matt and that’s a story that repeats as people come together and break apart. New friendships are formed, others fade away. I wrote a poem last valentines day about…

2017-09-14 Austin Day 1: Challenging My Limits

I’ve been up since 4 and it’s not even 7pm but I’m wiped out. I had a really nice lunch with Rebecca and we covered a number of topics, all of which I know we will go deeper on over the next few days. That was followed by a wonderful afternoon catching up with Jill…

I’m headed to rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation with my Texas Bestie, Rebecca, and her lively crew. This is my second trip this year, the first being in mid-May. At that time I probably wrote all there is…

2017-09-13 I Have More To Say About That

Ever since I went to the concert last night I feel like I’ve been on the edge of some really heavy emotions. I eluded to that in my post earlier today about not apologizing for feeling the way I do or sometime wearing my heart on my sleeve, as they say. I wrote a little…

2017-09-13 No Apologies

Last night I went to the Ed Sheehan concert and took Z with me. It was her first big concert and so that was a pretty big deal. We both got dressed up really nice, me in a dress I have not worn in about five years and her in her homecoming dress from last…

2017-09-12 The “Big” Question

The crossroads. The decision. The thing that will change all other things to come. That’s putting a lot of pressure on one question. That’s putting a lot of pressure on one’s self. That is what thinking about what my next “career” move feels like. I’ve adequately filled up this months to-do list with things that…
