Ooh, I can't wait to see what develops for you. (At 44) I'm still waiting to see what I'm going to be when I grow up. It's a strange feeling, isn't it? When you have ability and resources to do anything, anything at all, how do you choose?

real right now | limiting beliefs
(click on image to go to source) I am always open to learn new things - maybe too open to too many things! Even those things that make me squirmy and uncomfortable or those that initially appear complicated or intimidating. As much as it drives me to distraction, I have an abundance of ideas ...

ventage tuesdays : no soup for you!
First, a quick explanation for Cindy and anyone else wondering what "ventage tuesdays" is all about. Angie, Barb, Steph, Em, and I started calling ourselves the Ventage Girls b/c 1) our lengthy daily email threads often involve venting (and sometimes ranting & raving) and 2) to make ourselves...

I often forget/neglect to post my Fiskars projects here. I'm going to try to do a better job of that this year! This article is a great kick-off to all of the creative goals that you may have set for yourself... Check out the article here, and then come back & leave a comment telling me about...
I've really been enjoying watching your beautiful home take shape. It's stunning - what a team you and Steve make. I can only imagine that anyone who's left a negative comment on your labour of love must be green with envy! (I have to admit to a little jealousy myself seeing you prepping for landscaping - my yard is knee deep in snow.) Best wishes from Nova Scotia!

Happy New Year! I hope you all had a lovely holiday. We had a great New York visit with Charlie, shopping, eating, and catching up. Like the rest of 2012, our week in New York flew by. Next thing I knew, we were back in California, driving up to Patina Farm to see the progress... Since we are b...
Oh, I'm in! I made a half-assed attempt at Reverb in 2010 but the timing was off. This year I'm not letting the season sneak up on me. The hard-work is almost done and December is all about relax and enjoy, lots of time for introspection. Your post couldn't have come at a better time.

Reverb 12 | Reflect & Manifest
I regret little, but looking back I am disappointed at my not participating in a reflection project for 2011. That year was so excruciating and painful and joyful and liberating and full that it is very much a blur of change. I should have recorded some part of it - though a peek into my Dece...

Taking the 'crap' out of scrapbooking—a new motto for an old approach
A few years ago, I did an ad trade with the woman who runs the Skinny Taste site. At the time, I really didn't have an ad ready to go, so I decided to whip up a quick one and at the last minute, I used the phrase, "Taking the 'crap' out of scrapbooking." I wasn't sure if that would attract an...
Hey Lee,
I so wish I could document life like you do...you have a real gift!
It really was so great to meet you! I've been meaning to drop you a line to find out how the rest of your trip went and how Claire liked Dal. Sounds like you had a fabulous time in Truro. There's nothing like a Nova Scotia kitchen party! I'll email soon.
Hi Katrina...it is Sue Williams. We've chatted on PLP (I'm the King's alum) and I gave you the shoutout at Truescrap yesterday...great talk by the way! I'd love to meet you when you come to Halifax.

Our plans fell through, then they were on again, then fell through and then we went. The weekend before we left for our University tour of the Maritimes, I posted on Facebook and had family and friends respond with invitations to visit and recommendations for hotels and restaurants. It was fabul...
Great post, Cathy! You and Brene are the secrets to my success with MMEW this year. Brene's little voice saying, "It doesn't have to be perfect." Yours saying, "Get over it, keep moving." 33 lbs and counting....thank you!

Sunday night a whopper of a storm blew into Central Minnesota and knocked out our power, right smack dab in the middle of the Tonys, don'tcha know. The good news of the night? Dan and I had already watched the season premiere of True Blood. The bad news? We couldn't watch Girls at 9:30 and we ...

A Week In The Life 2012 | The Pages
I had started A Week In the Life 2012 with every intention of having it bound into a "real" book. Then a few things happened: 1. Life got in the way 2. The gutter So, in my effort to use what I have, I found an old Creative Memories PicFolio from a hundred years ago and sent my pages of to my go...
I'm all about systems and this is a great one! It will be so much easier for my cluttered brain to process when I can see the ephemera and notes instead of hiding them away in manila envelopes. (And as a former CM hawker myself, I have the clear files in my 'I don't know what the heck to use these for but they could come in handy' box.) Yup, another great idea, Lee!

Project Life | Process
I seem to live my life in my vehicle. Kids here, kids there, even with schedules changing, time in the truck stays constant. In short, we have incredibly full schedules and I have to admit that often that gets in the way of my doing things I enjoy, but I'm good at keeping up with those things I ...

One of my many cyber-muses is Jenny Meyerson. She has a knack for doing many things, but one of them is reading my mind. Often I think of something to blog about and get caught up doing other things and then read my idea, done so much better than in my thoughts, over at her blog! On Saturday he...

Returning to ME
I used to have as many dreams as there are stars in the sky. I've had some thoughts swirling through my head for a while about my journey of the past couple of years. The place I was, where I am now and where I hope to go in the future. To be honest, it's the dream - plans for the future - par...

Break
Not so long ago there was a lot of drama in my life. I came to realize it was because I chose to engage in every battle. Since then I learned to pick my battles. I can often be heard asking my children "is this the one fight you want to die over?" That his how we choose whether or not to engage....
I'm glad to see that Cole's recovering well. So sorry that you've lost a dear friend. Take care, Lee.

The Twelve Days of Christmas
This is the time of new traditions. Over the years, through my childhood and my adulthood, I've not been a fan of Christmas. It gets progressively worse every year, especially now that the holiday season starts sometime before Hallowe'en and only counts if you're in debt well into the New Year...
I am so psyched for this! I started out gung ho with MMEL but lost steam after a few months. I'm going to love the year-long nudges and prompts. Thank you!

I laughed when I read your Taylor Swift hiphop comments. She did a promo for one of the American award shows last year that your girly might get a kick out of.

Wednesday wind-down
Who else under-estimated the sun over this past long weekend? October certainly isn't a time I generally worry about sunblock, but 2 days later I'm writing a note in next year's diary. If one suspects the sun is biting, it is - summer sometimes visits early. Speaking of early, this post isn't...
We're in our 16th year of marriage and have at times coasted in and out of disconnect - not so much ups and downs as ebbs and flows. I, too, am guilty of high expectations at times and then wonder why I get tuned out. I have to remind myself (far too often) not to take my husband for granted and, a biggie for me, not to use so much energy up being 'Mom' that I have none left to be 'Sue'.
Thanks for keeping it real. I don't think any of us truly aspire to lead Stepford lives so I wonder why it is so hard for us to admit that we don't. I appreciate your honesty and I loved your perspective. Again, you are a veritable font of inspiration!
Congratulations to you and Dan on 20 years and wishing you many, many more happy anniversaries!

It was a very cold and blustery day 20 years ago, the day I stood before man, woman, child and God and swore my love and fidelity to my handsome, loving and loyal partner in crime, Daniel Ezekiel Zielske. The thing I recall the most? My lack of worry. What we were doing that day was the right ...
