TIME

Time. We all have 24 hours a day. And how I am able to spend that time has a lot to do with how I feel about myself, and life in general. Having a chronic illness makes functioning and achieving and setting goals a frustrating and disheartening experience. Enter Allyson, of Revive Organize. This afternoon she came over and helped me work on time management. Starting with answering questions about what is important to me in my life, in an hour and a half, she came up with a time schedule that will help me accomplish the things I want to do, with lots of needed downtime. Now instead of feeling frustrated and powerless to get on with life in spite of my daily struggles, I am feeling empowered that there are things I can accomplish and enjoy. Thanks Allyson!!!!!!!!!

Lots more progress in the studio!

I have been nibbling away, a box at a time, a drawer at a time, and now the studio is 75% finished. The furniture is all in place, and there are some more boxes to go through. And an entire closet of boxes to go through. This room now calls to me every time I walk by, and I have started my creative endeavors again. The change in the feel of the space makes me feel so peaceful and free...

When a Passion becomes an Obsession

A visit with Merlin - they all get along!


A quiet moment with nylabones.


The three pups together.


If you ever want to take your passion and expand it, all I can say is GO FOR IT!

There was a one night overlap between looking after Bentley and having my brother's dog Rosie stay as well. Oh my gosh, fun, jumping, digging, sticks, a great time for the dogs. And lot of fun for me, and if I had three arms, I would definitely do it again...
