The Dark.
February 7th 2016.
Reach into the shadow and see what you come back with, it’s through the shadow that we find growth.
Experimenting with Social Media
Experimenting with Social Media
I decided to experiment with the format I’m using on Instagram. And what experiment would be complete without questions? Will I receive any responses? Will it drive traffic to the right places? Where am I trying to drive traffic, and why? Will this experiment help me with my web design/development project? And since I’m asking so many questions, let me add some that a deep thinker and general…
Accountability
When it comes to work, I wish I could say that I’m 100% accountable 100% of the time. I feel I’ve worked with a few people who are. I recall that during my undergraduate years, I was flying at 95%.
I realize that as I become overwhelmed my accountability starts to take a nose dive. And why do I become overwhelmed? It’s due to many different things. Three of the biggest I can think of are:
- I like…
Appreciation for My lil’ Sis AKA Jessica Jones
Appreciation for My lil’ Sis AKA Jessica Jones
Her name is the most companion-ey names of all companion names.
She knows herself and will share herself with you.
She is a fan of Dexter, Sherlock, Hannibal, Doctor Who – the list is too long to type.
She and I laugh at the same evil things.
She spontaneously and adventurously lives her life.
She always lends a hand, an ear, a heart when it’s needed.
She genuinely wants the best for those she…
Letting Go
Struggling to let go of the illusion of control and practice compassionate parenting.
I’ve been aware of my control issues for some time. I thought I had them fairly well under control. Enter two boys under the age of six.
Did you know they have minds of their own? And that they want to do what they want to do?
This has led to more than a handful of power struggles. Yes, I am fighting for power with a three year old. This strikes me as odd. Why do I need this power? Why do I need…
Rocket Power Jet-Pack - I Can Do That
I have loved Pinterest for a long time. I see all types of post that I think, “I can do that,” and attempt it. I’ve had my failures; and I’ve had my successes.
Recently, I completed this rocket power jet-pack for Lil’ D. When he first came to live with us, he was obsessed with robots, being an astronaut and rocket ships.
Pretend play is always more fun with props.
Thank you, Uncle Jan, for…
The Hard One: CalFresh
Sometimes you have to ask for help.
True confession: I watch bad teen drama… *gasp* horror and appal.
During the short stint I watched the Carrie Diaries, she shared this advice with her diary, “the hardest stories to write are the ones that need to be told.” Thank you, Carrie Bradshaw, I shall follow your advice and try and write one.
The last six months has been more than an adjustment period. We’ve done our best to stay on top…
