What's the Escape Velocity of My Tendency to Give TOO Much?

I really don't have nearly enough support right now in my life. That sounds so pathetic, but I'm in one of "those" places right now. The upside is that I'm realizing there is a need for some significant changes. The downside is that I can't even keep up with my current life. I am full time mom and trying to run my biz without running myself into the ground and I never in a million years thought I'd be back to playing some combination of Donna Reed and Betty Crocker 12 hours a day -- oh wait, make that 24.  Read more >

Life Coaching -- Loving it!

So tonight my life coach and I started with a discussion of how things are going in general and as the conversation unfolded, I ended up first in an airport (Amsterdam, actually) waiting on line for an unknown destination with a handbag and a back pack only to find that I suddently had my violin case (and violin in it, of course) in the other hand and my ticket was to Limerick (in Ireland).  Upon arrival I searched for my party and found a placard with my name in Irish and English and I went, by limo to the field where "my people" were all hanging out and playing music by a bonfire.  Read more >

What's New With Me

Well, I'm a full-time homeschooling momma again!  On the one hand YAY!  On the other hand, the best sounding word I can come up with is the Slovak for notebook: zoshit. Which is appropriate, as we're discussing education, right?    Read more >

That Vampire Book Thing... Sexual Tension

Well, I did it.  I read Eclipse in less than 24 hours.  Well, actually, I may have started it on Thursday.  Still, a record of late.  I hardly find time to read since the birth of my first child nearly five and a half years ago.  And writing, well, as evidenced here, is even less frequent.  I have decided it is time to start blogging more frequently, I do end up with some interesting (by my standards, Irish-blooded as I am) stories to share.  Read more >

About Me: 

Blogging is a completely new endevor for me.  The undying urge/need to get some of the thoughts out of my brain and into written form is compelling, and my house is in utter chaos at the moment.  Since it is harder to loose a desktop computer than a notebook, blogging seems like a great option.  ;)

In my thirties, mother to two, spouse to a great man, daugther to an aging mother and a father who passed away almost two years ago, I find that exploring my own interests is more challenging that I ever would have guessed.  Right now, I substitute in Aquatics classes and teach Childbirth Education.  My Birth Doula work is on hold, frankly until I feel like doing it again.  It is fantastic to be at a birth, but the hours (obviously) are unpredictable and it can be very draining, emotionally and physically.  It has been over six months though, so it won't be long before I do at least a birth here and there again.

 

I will probably come back and update this, but in case I don't, I am one of those people who has been blessed with many, many "once in a lifetime" opportunities, most of which I jumped right into.  I know that there is a path before me, but I rarely see where it will lead me, as it is quite winding and sometimes a bit shadowy.  In other words, don't be surprised, anything is possible. ;)
