Tender Mercies

The Lord knew just what I needed. 
I pulled into the driveway after work on Friday without opening the garage door.  I came into the house and saw the door to my son’s room closed.  I knew darn well I had propped it open so the cat could come and go.  I pushed open the door [...]

Fighting It!

I am determined now, to not let this depression get the best of me!  This has been one of the worst weeks of my life so it can only get better from here.  The separation anxiety of having my son move out has been debilitating to the point that all I could do yesterday was [...]

Sigh….

Well, you’re just going to have to bear with me a while in this one.  Our son moving out has hit me so much harder than I would have thought.  Farmers’ Market was really, really hard yesterday.  I did not want to be there, but didn’t have the new manager’s number and its totally not [...]

Hard Day

Its been a very hard, sad day.  I’m sitting here sobbing.  I know it sounds silly, but I just left my one and only child 45 minutes down the highway, in his new digs, with four other guys.  Yes, my only child has left home at the age of 19.  How can I not be [...]

It Is Alive!

Just catching up from the weekend.  Had a great day at Farmers Market on Saturday and Father’s Day was a lot of fun at the zoo.  That my husband would choose to go there and my 19 year old son would be excited to go was unexpected but fun – hot and humid, but fun. 
Doesn’t [...]

I Have Enough

Last year I attended a wonderful retreat in Santa Fe, New Mexico.  I spent four wonderful days in workshops, creating, trying new techniques, making new friends.  My husband made the trip with me and spent those days hiking and exploring the great outdoors.  We both had a wonderful time.  It was my reward to myself [...]

Sustainability resources

I have spent the evening catching up on the listserv digests from my local sustainability network.  Its such a huge resource and there is so much going on locally that I’ve never been aware of.  Check it out for yourself at the Oklahoma Sustainabilty Network.  You can access the archives without having to join or [...]

Baby Steps

I have a tendency to mentally live in the future – always planning, planning, planning.  Not to say that I’m not in the moment, either, but especially at work, while performing the mindless, never-ending data entry, my mind tends to wander to things I want to change, things I want to accomplish, the life I [...]

Green Christianity

I signed up with my local cable provider for the package that includes all the Discovery Channels.  I was specifically wanting their new Planet Green channel.  Well, I’ve only watched a few minutes of a couple of shows, so can’t report much thus far.  I’m looking forward to watching Living With Ed that starts next [...]

Simplicity Forum

Just a quick to note to pass along a website I found today www.simplicityforum.org.  Looks to have some great resources in several types of media.  Can’t wait to dig into it.   Have a look and let me know what you think.
