tonight we transformed into kai “the world’s coolest little soccer player” and grabbed the pumpkin to do some trunk-r-treating! it made me think back to halloween back in the day…ohhhh, that sun couldn’t go down fast enough and then you’d finally get to gear up in the costume you had bragged about to all your [...]

creative surroundings…
when i started to write tonight, i felt a bit disconnected – so i surfed a bit…and came across this video and for whatever reasons it brought a smile to my face. i miss that “electricity” that would happen at scad when a project was due — no matter your major, everyone felt it [...]

fall, a time for gathering…
fall always feels like a time to gather – to gather up what’s most important to you and keep it close by to help you through the long, cold, winter months ahead. gather up warm drinks, your child’s hand in yours, a scarf around your neck, your family and dearest friends, savory foods, festive occasions, ,comforting [...]

a bird at my window…
almost every morning for the past several weeks now, this little bird taps at my classroom window. he stays for a long time – sometimes the whole morning. it’s as if he has something urgent to tell me. he doesn’t mind if i tap back to him or stand and watch him for a [...]

control…
the theme of control is an interesting one…it’s one i battle with often. i am a planner and i like to always feel “prepared” for whatever in this life. i don’t ever want to be hit with something and wind up saying…”wow, i never saw THAT coming!”. i have been there before – it was [...]

fall days and meandering markets…
a chilly fall day – spent meandering through the markets. bundled up and winding through tables of antiques…i always try to imagine the life those objects lived before they landed on a table with a price tag hanging from them. what family they were part of — what memories are stored there. to many [...]

race, su, race…
(that’s me on the right running at the finish – pic by j) it was truly a beautiful day today as we set out for the 10K. the ipod was loaded, music pumping, nerves present, legs ready, smile set, as i took in the amazing scenery along the way. around the 1/2 point i met [...]

the bigger picture…
what i have been trying to remember lately is how life can change on a dime – and to, as my dear friend rosa would tell me…”ride the wave!”. surfing through life – i like that analogy. it’s so easy to get caught up in the hassle or stresses of the day to day [...]

an evening stroll…
this is what i love most about living here…on sunday late afternoon / evenings everyone is out for a stroll. you see families walking together – young and old – having a drink or sharing a gelato – but spending it together to watch the sun set silently into the sea. it’s magical…

little fingers – deep in thought…
as i ran yesterday, this song came on the ipod…and soon i found i was smiling while running rather than combating the mental mind chat that seems to tell me that by all accounts i should stop…this song brings up so many memories for so many reasons….to “my girls”- “give me atlanta, give me savannah [...]
