Aha! I found the C.S. Lewis quote that I had (somewhat distortedly) in mind when I wrote the post on Saturday. It's substantially more and less than I remembered. Here it is: "It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most un...

I am really excited about talking Tribes! For one thing, I'm psyched about saying (or having said) some of the same things as Seth Godin. I tell myself it's one of those "great minds think alike" things - and putting my mind on par with Seth Godin's makes me smile - hey, I can ...

Early yesterday I thought that the darn rubber band I'd found in my Raw Food Smoothie (talked about in earlier post) created offspring in my tummy. I had a knot the size of Australia in my guts which I envisioned as an ugly, dark gray, solid ball of rubberbands - that smelled like soot. I do hav...

Today was a pouty day - no Little Princess (it's time for our 2-day visit) - no call, no way to get in touch - sigh! I have no way of knowing when I'll hear, or when/if she'll get to visit next - so I was pretty bummed. I decided to hop over to Brené Brown's blog, Ordinary Courage, ...

I've been back on the (Square-Peg modified) Raw Food Smoothie thing and it's affecting my mood in a positive way. Can't complain about that. But - (there's always a but - actually there's a butt, which is why I'm doing the raw food thing - but that's another story) - the ...

I've been in love with the world for days (which started the morning after I got hit with two hard, hard - let me repeat - hard situations) - go figure. Hit #1 was financial - argh - stuff we're all dealing with. After hit #1 I watched a glorious movie called Once with Slightly-Brit!! Then t...

 I think I've mentioned numerous times that I love books, now I've got proof that they love me back! I went to our public library the other day with a list. There were some books recommended in Barbara Winter's newsletter, and some that friends suggested. I grazed for a bit, found ...

Granted, in this photo Little Princess is not struggling over a computer generated map, but still - the look on her face is exactly like mine when I'm trying to study directions to get from here to there: rapt attention and the mouth hanging open in a blend of "huh?" and "duh!&quo...

  Or - more aptly - how to work. As usual in my mad, mad attempt to play the Portfolio Project game, I am rushing around last minute whining: "What am I going to write about?" My favorite way to get into work mode is to square up my shoulders and head to the grindstone. NO. That's not it, I squ...

Monday, boring boring Monday...sigh...not sure why, but nothing feels interesting today. I doubt it's the day itself - weekends and weekdays blur around here - no clear demarcation. I finally finished writing the little welcome message that I'll record for visitor's to the Square-Peg-Peo...
