I'm doing better with my self care, and that is helping me hold things steady when the tricky situations each child of mine brings threaten to take over.<br />Miss 7 and Miss 4 have moved out of my bed! (So I sold the King size bed I once shared with the ex, and am hunting for a smaller one, that will enable me to have writing and sewing space in my room) I have begun to create a space for myself as a refuge and safe haven. New family routines are starting to settle, and I've even set a goal to do a mud run in November.<br />I'd love the opportunity to participate, sharpen my focus and expand my vision. Thanks for the chance :)chibbylickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12662968436650912221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1684912259946202162.post-19981544479868929822013-03-28T13:52:18.147-04:002013-03-28T13:52:18.147-04:00This spring I want to finally make our nest more o...This spring I want to finally make our nest more ours, renew our home with love.

Lol.... This year has opene...This may be dramatic! Lol.... This year has opened many doors for me. As I have taken Amy's courses as well as Abundant Mama, and Season's Eatings, I have learned a lot about myself. I had locked who I wanted to be inside someone I was not. I was a frustrated, angry, impatient woman and mother with no direction or inspiration. I am not sure how I came to know about the labs, but each one has given peace in different areas in my life, and helped me to realize all things can be joyful. <br /><br />The labs I have taken have offered me wonderful opportunities to open my heart onto paper. Prompting my emotions to come out in force. Writing and writing and realizing that every moment has meaning. I have grown as a person and a mother. My heart has been softened towards my children, my husband, my neighbors, and strangers that make entrance into my life. <br />AS I have taken this journey I have found me. <br /><br />One way or another I do plan on taking Feathering the Nest, and quite possibly A Book About Me, again. I have been in my home for 5 years. I have not decorated my home with pictures because I have fought myself on what frames to put them in and where to put them. I hesitate buying that vintage table because I am looking for the perfect one and I wouldn't know where to put it. I have made excuses for my home being drab. REASON WHY...I realize now it was because I had no true clue who I was. This year through the labs I have been a naked tree. I have let others and myself see my character unclothed. This Spring I want to blossom with the blooms. I want to bring the peace that I have found into my home for my family to see. I want family, friends, and neighbors to come into my home and feel the peace that lies between our walls. Now, I just need a little direction in doing so!! <3deanne5296https://www.blogger.com/profile/01101018780560797909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1684912259946202162.post-57337883941081032202013-03-22T10:58:40.534-04:002013-03-22T10:58:40.534-04:00there comes a point where you begin to shed the sk...there comes a point where you begin to shed the skin of the past, and begin to see who you really are, the potential you have not such as a person but as a soul.

My husband & I had our first year at market as vendors last summer - we sell plant starts & herbs & fava beans & sometimes homemade jellies here in the bright beautiful albeit slightly chilly climes of Anchorage, Alaska. We have already earned a reputation for some fantastic plants! I'm excited for Year 2 - this year, we're veterans! Also, we'll be stepping onto our new property more often; clearing the way for a home of our own :) We probably won't be stepping into a new home until next year though.slackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18055793854147992493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1684912259946202162.post-42791115459562408722013-03-21T10:54:54.238-04:002013-03-21T10:54:54.238-04:00I would love to tell you what I'm getting into...I would love to tell you what I'm getting into this spring but that's the problem - I have so many ideas and projects that I don't know where to start or if its even a fit for me (I'm not even sure what I like to do anymore).
