Today, my sweet soulful tortured artist clone of mine, middle child, turns 5.
Just five short (and very long) years ago he was born at home in the water, the most peaceful labor and birth ever. He’s a big brother and a little brother, and embraces all the angst and excitement that those roles encompass. He [...]

Incensed

June 18, 2009

Have you ever watched incense burn? It seems to smoke from more than one place, two streams in a constant rhythm that reminds me of an endlessly flowing creek. It’s beyond beautiful, and I couldn’t believe this unspoken lovliness had gone unnoticed by me for my whole life [...]

Music 4 Good

June 5, 2009

Music is one of my must haves, along with air and water and food. I’m not convinced I could live without it. So finding a new artist to love is pure gold for me — like adding a new member to my very exclusive family.
I’ve had Diane Birch’s Bible Belt on heavy rotation ever since [...]

Messy

May 12, 2009

I just stole away to my bedroom upstairs, quietly and quickly. I don’t know if I should lay down for a nap, fold one of the many mountains of laundry, or actually do some blog reading for once…

I feel like things have been pretty darn heavy up in the ToThink haus here, so how about I share some randomness with you?
Today I got mad at my husband and then my dog did too. I didn’t [...]

New Music To Love

March 1, 2009

Over the years I’ve always enjoyed various types of music, especially Italian or Latin music. Because my husband got his first degree in Spanish, he insisted lovingly asked if we could play it all. the. time. Part of that “immersion” the professors encourage.

See You At The Beach

February 12, 2009

I used to be really good at calming a storm within me. I would center myself and think big picture and move forward…remembering that things are usually not as bad as they seem.
But now I struggle. It takes time away from the here and now, alone, at the Bahamas even, to feel that same [...]

Writer’s Inspiration For The Soul (A Giveaway!)

December 18, 2008

**Giveaway is over, thanks to all who participated!
I have been diversifying my “bag” lately, but I am first and foremost a writer. I admit that I get most of my inspiration from the steam in the shower, but I also notice my writing suffers when I’m not reading something regularly.
Sometimes I need to be reading [...]
