More December Views

Christmas Eve at my mom's house. I enjoyed capturing some of her decorations amongst the chaos of four children scrambling to open all their gifts.



Lego's, Bionicle's and Play-Doh, Oh My!

Good Reminders

This post was originally written on September 2, 2018.  These are all lessons I've been learning and re-learning, and I find myself coming back to them in the deep breaths I take when I feel myself falling down a rabbit hole.  Maybe you can find some use in these words too. 1 - It is perfectly fine to not do anything. And it is even more acceptable for you to not beat yourself up and feel guilty about it 2 - The Universe provides.  God provides. Whoever or whatever it is that you believe in, will provide.  If things seem uncertain, they might be for a time, and you should just let them remain uncertain, knowing that eventually they will be clear.  It is also important to note that when they do become clear, you should trust in that clarity.  If you don't make moves in life, the Universe will make them for you. 3 - We have very little control over anything outside of ourselves.  It is often better to just take a deep breath and let things go than...

This is not a "december view" necessarily, but it's a view I'm having now, and it's December, and I'm going to go with it anyway..... This year has been a tough one for me.

Tuesdays Distraction

Todays distraction is brought to you in honor of the following: David Bowie, who I've loved and have been listening to since I was old enough to recognize truly good music. Movement, my word of the year, combined with the first video below, so that everyone can pay respects to Mr. Bowie and dance!!!! My dad, who would have celebrated his 69th birthday on the day David Bowie left the earth.  I like to think that where ever they are, David sang Happy Birthday to my dad :). So, if you haven't already (because obviously social media has already covered millions of shares), or if you have and would like to again (me! me!) here's some David Bowie for your enjoyment, nostalgia, and distraction. My favorite! A version I remember seeing when I was very young, but have forgotten about. 6:08 I would totally have bought an audio book of David Bowie does Nursery Rhymes and played it for my kids every night! I've heard him refer in this way to his process numerous tim...
