Cross-posted from my personal blog…

Catching my breath quite a bit here lately so I haven’t had much happening on the art front. Here’s another spread from my art journal I’ve been working on. I’ve actually even started writing in it now!!! I was in Tampa Friday and Saturday facilitating some leadership programs and came home [...]

Cathy: This too shall end…

This was posted on my blog before I retrieved my sons from their month-long visit with their father. I must have been missing them. A lot. I have them now and am not feeling nearly as wistful, typed with a grin.
I’m a Capricorn and I’m a parent. Capricorns are known for their [...]

Bethany: Ideas, they always seem better in my head*

Posted in Bethany, tagged , , , on June 9, 2009 | 8 Comments »

As I lie in bed last night waiting for my daughter to fall into blissful sleep, I came upon a new book idea. I love those. In fact, I might go out on a limb and say I LIVE for those moments. The story idea, the characters, the plot lines all seem so clear. So [...]

Cathy: Oh Well

Posted in Cathy, tagged , on March 26, 2009 | 9 Comments »

I’ve been having an odd week or so, and it continues into next week.
Baby C’s 1st birthday is approaching, and nothing seems to be working out to get people together as planned. There is an event conflicting with my planned party date that the couple of baby friends we wanted to invite will be [...]

Cathy: Stopping the analysis

Posted in Cathy, tagged , , , , on February 24, 2009 | 9 Comments »

The February Finish-a-thon has been a great tool for all of us to realize where we fit in setting ourselves deadlines, what project we’re working on, how far we have to go, and whether can we finish it in a certain time frame.
For me, it turned my otherwise small penchant for analysis of why I’m [...]

Kelly: Humming John Lennon

The girls and I lay down and stared at the moon and the stars last night, all cuddled up like three little ladybugs, telling stories. We weren’t outside. No, we were laying in Sarah’s bed, staring up at this particular moon and stars you see here. Aren’t they fabulous? This now covers our attic access, [...]

Kelly: Dodging Curve Balls

Posted in Kelly, tagged , , on February 5, 2009 | 19 Comments »

I’ve been having a couple of those weeks where everything comes at you at once. You know those kind of weeks? It’s been taking up so much space in my brain that I haven’t been able to think straight much less find time to sit down and create.
Two weeks ago I got a job offer [...]

Cathy: Crying out in the wilderness

Posted in Cathy, tagged , on November 4, 2008 | 16 Comments »

I’m having one of those moments — one of those really bad moments of a stay-at-home mother or a writer. The kind where you can hear yourself screaming, but it’s as if everyone else in your home is looking right past you, no matter what you may be saying. In a movie, the lens would [...]

Bethany: Do What You Love Today

Posted in Bethany, tagged , , , on October 9, 2008 | 5 Comments »

Today was one of those days.
Well, honestly, there have been weeks of “those days.” Where work takes over my life. I’m cranky. Or my kids or grumpy (or sickly). I have too many plates in the air and they all come crashing down at once. And then I wonder why parenting is so hard… and [...]

Bethany: Hi. I’m Bethany. I’m lowering the bar.

Posted in Bethany, tagged , on March 19, 2008 | 2 Comments »

It’s my new mantra. Let’s hold hands, take deep breaths, and recite after me:
“I, [insert name here], am going to not push myself to the point of exhaustion.  I, [insert name here], am going to let others help me. I, [insert name here], am going to let the chips fall where they may AND stay [...]
