starter spaces & studios

There is a magazine called "Where Women Create" and I have enjoyed it over the past few years as I started creating on a more regular basis. They share the stories of women who have worked hard to be in a place where creating is more than a hobby and the spaces that they create in are varied, but wonderful. Often the kind that one fantasizes about moving into someday. I'm fascinated by people's stories, especially their journeys and their process. As I looked at all of the creating spaces that were shared in this magazine, I found myself wanting

recharging is for the birds

In my last post, I mentioned a book I was reading called, "The Joy of Doing Nothing", that discusses the benefits of taking time each day to find ways to detach and well, do nothing. By doing so, you would increase your productivity and there would be positive benefits to your mental health. I've been taking these daily breaks for a long time now and I break them into two categories. For me, they are either to recharge or to pause and notice the moments going on around me. We get so busy being busy that we forget to notice

a moment to notice

There's a reason that my tagline, "Life's Busy. Make moments that matter." is my tagline.

I used to think that once I was past the busy moment, then I would have a moment to notice and enjoy the things I had put off to the side while I was busy.

blind faith

My husband heard this on the radio recently and it has become the tagline for our days - "It won't be easier, but it will be better." We have started discussing the next chapter in our family's book and it is exciting and scary and completely fueled on blind faith. The adventure would start with a move, and then all the things that happen up to and after that. Nothing about it has been easy. In fact, I partly blame it for a giant headache that has been plaguing me. The kind of headache where medicine doesn't seem to help

it’s the happy little tidbits

I don't know why, but the other day I remembered how, in "the old days", it was so much fun to find a ten dollar bill that I had forgotten about in a pocket or a purse that I had not used in a while. I never carry cash anymore and always use my debit card. What an inconvenience it is when I need to pay with cash, 'cause then I usually need to stop by the bank first - the drive thru, of course, or when I have to write a check. Because of my "plastic money", I am
