The Fixed-Schedule Effect: Secret Keys to Life?

Posted in Miranda, tagged , , , , on December 4, 2009 | 18 Comments »

My husband often forwards me tidbits from the interwebs that he knows I’ll find interesting. Last week he sent me an article about time management that really blew my mind. In some ways I think it’s the paradigm shift I’ve been looking for, as I often feel lost in the vortex of caring for young [...]

Partially cross-posted from my personal blog…
In my SLS class last night, we talked about values and time management and how our value structure plays a huge part in managing our time.  I show an inspirational video in each class, and the one I showed last night struck a chord with just about everyone in the [...]

Making time to create

Posted in Miranda, tagged , on August 25, 2008 | 4 Comments »

At the blog Abundance, I came across an interesting post on making time to create. Marelisa, the Abundance blogger, includes many good ideas for getting yourself to show up and be effective — although you may find that many of the ideas are not altogether relevant to someone at home with little ones.
Children or no [...]

Posted in Kelly, tagged , , , on August 5, 2008 | 12 Comments »

Do you ever have so many creative ideas running through your brain that they keep you up at night? Thus is the insomnia of a creative addict, and it has descended upon me tonight. I’ve been laying in bed thinking about how I’d like to revamp my website, how I can rework current projects to [...]

Miranda: Surf and turf

Posted in Miranda, tagged , , , on March 27, 2008 | 8 Comments »

I imagine that most of us would admit to spending more time on the internet than we “should,” at least on occasion. Some months ago I turned off the automatic “check e-mail” schedule in Outlook, but really all that means is that I obsessively hit “send/receive” during any moment of down time or transition.

Miranda: Getting your ducks in a row (rubber and otherwise)

Posted in Miranda, tagged , on March 17, 2008 | 5 Comments »

As I slowly emerge from nearly two weeks of illness (it’s been months, if I include the rest of the family) and my ear infection finally lifts, I’m looking cautiously at the week ahead, and trying to manage my expectations. I realize that in order to maximize my opportunities–even simply my opportunities to do nothing–I [...]

Kerry: working on art

Posted in Kerry, tagged , , on February 24, 2008 | 4 Comments »

So happy! Babygirl slept for like a whole hour in her playpen and I actually spent that time working on art. It wasn’t so bad. I’m experimenting with pastels on paper, and haven’t quite found what I’m looking for, but at least it’s a start. While I was digging out the pastels, I came across [...]

Kerry: Excuses

Posted in Kerry, tagged , , , , on February 11, 2008 | 4 Comments »

Wow, isn’t it great being so pregnant…not really. The good thing, it’s almost over and I can meet my baby boy and get my body back. I can’t wait to bend over again. Picking up baby girl’s toys has become quite a chore.
I had a moment yesterday where I actually dug out my big sketch [...]

Miranda: Help! Something awful is happening

Posted in Miranda, tagged , , , on January 16, 2008 | 6 Comments »

OK, so I’m gaining momentum. A lot of momentum. My 150 pages of material are really turning into something viable. The first few chapters are readable drafts. I’m networking like mad, developing my third wave of interviewees, with success. I’m reading books that are feeding my writing. I’m revising a short story I wrote [...]
