Well.
It’s been awhile. A lot has been going on. I’m not sure if transformative is the right word. But things have changed… Quite a lot. I’ve talked with DH more than we have have in any time window....
Be a Leader and Obey
Those were the words I heard spoken today. It was not ironic. It was not sarcastic. It was said with sincerity. I don’t know if we all have just collectively lost the ability to have a sort of…...
Spiritual Science
and the subjective experience. My relationship to the subjective is uneasy and skeptical. I think that comes out of being physically and emotionally abused as a child. Most people have that unfor...
Embarrassing
When you chaffe against someone who doesn’t play your game. Just name call. Act superior. Do whatever except the honorable. Okay. I hear you. I accept your lack of honor. Begone. I defer to reali...
Starting Over
from first principles. It does seem daunting, as an adult, to have to start over. But, that is exactly what I did. I think there must be a big enough Why for anyone to accomplish this. That is j...
What to say...
I feel as if I’ve gone back in time…a decade, to be precise. I daresay that I look like it, too. I looked at my face in the mirror today, and I was surprised. I can be a bit-well, impulsive. I h...
I saw
a name I haven’t seen in years. And it brought me back. I can imagine this person asking me, “So, what have you done with yourself in all these years?” An innocent enough question, although I fee...
Baking
Wow am I ever NOT a baker. I’ve been using sourdough to make bread for over a year now. And it’s always.... Well. It’s bread but it’s also a door stop. Lol I just recently started trying to make ...
Thoughts on Steiner
“I previously said that we should relate to children until puberty in such a way that they recognize us as an authority, that they accept something because someone standing next to them who is vi...
From Fluff to Stuff
Pretty self explanatory. First time for all of it. Harvested the wool, prepared it (minimally), hand spun it on a drop spindle, wound it by hand. I need to ply it. Not the greatest yarn, ob...
Day 2
12 Days I must say that I felt no small amount of- not joy, not happiness, not contentment- but.. of what, exactly? Self importance… A certain sense of knowing that someone at least feels an obli...
Merry Christmas
The kids’ nativity scene that they can play with (it’s doesn’t last long set up lol) My cat is a one person cat. She hates everyone else but loves me- I’m her car mom since I found her when she ...
So much
Done and no pics to show 😂 I swear I did finish like 90% of my list from before. The dino turned out so stinking cute. I’m bummed I didn’t get a pic. Oh but I did get a pic of this; Hah. This ...
/Sigh
I am humbled. I am more than humbled. I am Humiliated. I asked my unconscious. And. You know what? I did not respect it’s power. It did not worship it’s integrity. It had no thought for what my ...
Just Us
for Thanksgiving. I shouldn’t say just us, because I actually feel really warm, full and content to have 2 days of DH home, nothing going on to cook to my delight and let the kids sink into relax...
The list
Started on the dinosaur, have some stars made/working on more, and made a wreath. Woo! Also dipped a few leaves in wax to see how they would come out and added back to our nature corner. Made an ...
That's a lot of
Woolies And not even all of them. I’m not sure what I want to write. DH and I have had a lot of conversations, deep and.. exhausting. I’m so tired. It is a good tired. Like the tired after swim...
I'm Gonna Make-!
Beeswax candles Beeswax candle decorations Modeling beeswax, of various colors Beeswax food wraps Window stars An advent window transparency scene A sweater (for me) An advent wreath Another cowl...
Likeness
There are lots of ways that I am like my mother. I realized that I am still too angry to be productively curious about my mother. So, why am I angry? Because I am not safe. Still. I’m still not ...
Today, I learned
how much I loved children and wanted to be a mom. Not just now, but my whole life. The feeling is so very refreshing- to experience this love of innocence and fierce dedication to my own babies....
Life
Goes on. Sometimes that is comforting. Sometimes it really isn’t. I would like for my own children to experience a slow, but very dear, childhood. I’ve gone a long way to providing that. And t...
Makin stuff
Just finished this really cute sweater for Lexi. It’s the same front and back- so the shoulders are really not covered. Makes for more of a cozy outer layer sweater than the one I made previous. ...
Darning
I recently taught myself. Practicing on these baby/toddler socks that were my son’s and now fit my daughter. It’s more or less a sock again. Feels good to do things that create more life in othe...
Forest School pics
I sort of just realized we’d been doing forest school for almost 2 months now and I never posted about it. Lol. It is SO MUCH FUN. And the late summer/autumn is just beautiful - my second favor...
Category D
There are the 3 or so commonly cited and dare I say generally accepted attachment disorders. That is, aside from secure attachment (healthy) there are 3 categories of disordered attachment. Anxio...
