A Snow Day, A Skunk & Some Space

March 2, 2018
For a while now, I've been overwhelmed by the tasks in my life. When I talk about it, everyone encourages me to let things go. And I think this is a hard pill for me to swallow, because the things in my life have already been carefully weighted. If you go back to my last…

  • Slowness In Action (Pt. 2)
    February 28, 2018
    One of the points I was attempting to get to in my last post (and got totally swept away by the evidence that life is excitedly supporting this lesson I'm learning), is that I've been trying to trick myself into altering my perceptions of want-to-do and don't-want-to-do. Which I'm sure sounds pre...

  • Slowness In Action (Pt. 1)
    February 28, 2018
    We're back to life as we know it, and I'm trying to carry my flu lessons with me everywhere I go. I'm not jazzed about packing lunches and rushing out the door, but I'm also trying to respect the necessities of life for what they are. It's interesting, when you focus in on an idea,…

  • My slow is showing.
    February 23, 2018
    I know that living slowly has been a theme for me lately, and I'm happy to say that I can see it emerging in my reality. I firmly believe in the power of our thoughts and our focus, and things have just felt really "on" - as though, as Abraham-Hicks puts it, I'm on the…

  • Can we just call it, February?
    February 16, 2018
    Since getting the flu, I've had a lot of time with my thoughts. A lot of time for noticing what it means to be and to crave slow. Every time someone from one of my various obligations appears needing something, I have this "ugh, really?" feeling...one that makes me question what I really want to&...

  • Flu Fatigue & Dropping Balls
    February 14, 2018
    On the evening of my last entry, two of my boys and I came down with the flu. Fun. We had the A strain of the virus, and let me tell you.......it has been kicking our butts. Luke (my oldest) hasn't been to school since last Monday. They all have winter break next week, and…

    February 5, 2018
    mrsLicky is back. For now. It's weird, right? OD was a massive part of my life...I'm sure a lot of people can say that. I remember right before the site shut down, I went and read some of my oldest entries, and a part of me was kind of thankful that my old self still…

    I'm here again. Because I have some verbal crying to do and don't want to junk up my blog. (Sorry OD. Not that you only deserve the crap, but more like you're the friend who's always there when I need it, even if I ditch you for months a time.) I'm exhausted. Physically & mentally.…
