My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • Seems like most days this is how we are hanging on. Although a fog has lifted from my mind the past couple of days, I feel as if the strength I have in me is weak and fragile. Each day I wake up a little happier, but then something can be said or read or done and I struggle with the possible spiral that will shift my mood downwards. It is a constant…

  • Well, winter is definitely here. The past few days or even the past week has brought in the moisture with increased humidity and foggy mornings. As I write this now, my view is becoming greyer and greyer. There are times when I think about my Oregon life and wonder why I do not live there. Then, days like this come along and while everyone else might be reveling in the change of weather…

  • My husband said this to me on the way out the door this morning due to my seemingly worsening mood/state of mind. First off the season is changing. I know that sounds strange in a place like AD, but truly there are more clouds, it is getting cooler and I think there was even some sort of moisture in the air yesterday or the day before. 😛 So, it is indeed becoming ‘winter’…

  • For a few months I have been processing in my mind what and where my faith has gone. Over the past year of yoga teacher training, I have discovered the gift of meditation and seen a woman of strong faith fight to believe in the sutras – philosophical texts – because she cannot reconcile that the sutras are like the Bible – guides for a way of life. Since the end of my…

  • One of my favorite genres of music is country. Yes, it is true. It is not something I advertise widely given such strong feelings people have either for or against it. However, it truly makes me happy, move my feet and want to dance. Before summer, we went quite a few times to ‘Country Night’ which is dj’d by a colleague of M’s who is Welsh. He really does an amazing job of…

  • It has been a while since there has been any development about my birth family search. In all honesty I had put it on the back burner to simmer until I was ready to do anything else or until something else came up. Back in August of last year, I posted on the results of a DNA test taken by my potential aunt. They were negative. I agreed to leave her alone from…

  • Wow, it is so hard to believe that 2016 is coming to an end and to reflect on the year that it has been. A year ago, we were 20 days from getting legally married. A year ago, I was making my decision to quit my full-time job to embark on the crazy path of running my own business and taking my work a different direction. A year ago, life was layered with…

  • Maybe it just me, but every now and again, I consider our adjectives and wonder at the commonalities or intensity of meaning according to letters of the alphabet. For example, have you ever thought about ‘con’ words? Contemplation. Conscientiousness. Concrete. All these ‘con’ words connect to the mind. Today as I sit to write my mind is a bit unsettled. As I tried to pinpoint how I would describe it these words came…

  • Every day I see people – well, almost every day. I generally force myself to get out at least once in a day even if it is just for my lessons/sessions. Despite this, I still regularly crave going into a cave and hiding into my own world. For some this might be considered as anti-social or even odd behavior. For others, you get it. 😉 The problem with spending too much time on…

  • If I were to describe myself to others who might not know me, I would say that I am: *organized *no nonsense *quiet, but not shy *a listener and observer (introverted) *conditional giver (yes, I only give under certain conditions, but then I give forever and always) *loyal once one has gained my trust and respect *traditional in etiquette, manners, and behaviors *stubborn 😛 *a problem-solver *confident *writer *teacher *moderate *stable (despite my up…
