For whatever reason, I seem to put off doing the inevitable!! Yes, I love to share myself but I wait and wait and wait!!! I am of course on the brink of yet, ANOTHER MOVE! I'm going Nomad this summer, which means I'm going to sleep where the I find the bed to take me. For June I am safe since I am house and pet sitting for some friends who are going home to Germany about three weeks. Then I might find refuge with my friend, the other Sandy, whom Dysnomia knows quite well! Boy, would she love to see you!!! What a trip that would be down IPI LSS lane, can you...

A master's awareness of spiritual laws, Sandy, directs him or her to manifest major life changes by working with their thoughts, not by working harder. Which isn't to say they don't sometimes work very long hours, because they do; they just don't think of it as work. Which also isn't to say that they all have cool jobs that anyone would love, because they don't; they just see every task before them, no matter where they work, as a gift to unwrap. Hmmmmm...

It goes along with the fact that things that are healthy for me are always put on the back burner. Things are relatively stable at this point. I love school, though I'm still afraid that I won't do well and guilty that I'm not working full time in the first time of my life. Found a wonderful positition in policy research which will be awesome learning for my research project to start in the summer. Yes, 8 weeks stipend for research media and child abuse -- any opinions out there how media affects the way child abuse is viewed in...

Due to school being so busy and a conscious need to let loose of the parent role I have had with the girls, I needed a break for me in which to do this. They were so excited to see me and I had lots of treats compliments of their Mamaw, my mother. Treats aside they didn't let go of me for quite a while. In fact, the little one, Turtle, would only let me put her down in the stroller and on rides at the festival we attended. I found them the most beautiful handmade native american sweaters --...

For those who visited and left me encouragement to get back on, I salute you. Anyway, since March a lot of things have happened, some things good and some things awful -- but the awful stuff is teaching me I am finding out. I learned in September that life is very fragile. After months of too many cocktails, it became necessary for the cocktails to cope and adding some medication to help anxiety was not a good mix. Suffice it to say that on September 10th after too much alcohol, I took a...

It has been awhile and I'm ready for an update to my last blogs in Nov and Dec. I've gotten moved and have been settling in when I can between classes since November. My daughter and granddaughters, Beetle (5) and Turtle (15 mo.), have gotten moved about two hours away. It is very hard, especially for Beetle and me but we are coping. I pick them up on Friday evenings, we meet 1/2 way and they get to stay till Sunday afternoon! It's better than nothing though it is not the same of living with them. I feel like my...

I never let anyone know what is going on and I'm just coming on for a brief entry tonight. Too much is going on right now and that is the truth. If it wasn't for the support of my library lady, my german friend at work, and a few others I will name at a later date, I probably would be under a rock right now. Anyway, things are plugging along and there is some great stuff looming ahead and to loom ahead means to let go of what is behind and I'm working hard at it. A great friend in Northern Michigan, my MSW mentor, is helping me on...

Things seems to be smoothing out a bit here in Ohio. I’ve my last final today as well as an English Composition conference, I always feel like a third grader at those. Anyway, I’m all settled in at my new place and my granddaughters and I have checked out the private cinema a couple of times already. Beetle, the five year old is enthralled with the treadmill as well. That is encouraging for me since I know she’ll be an inspiration. They have a very nice and up-to-date fitness center with televisions for distraction and an...

This is an overdue blog but it is going to have to be a condensed one. Number one, I can't wait to see Chrysalis on 12/3/06 -- I'm so happily ecstatic! Number two, yes, I have moved again and sad to say, my granddaughters and my daughter did not come with me. A few weeks ago, my daughter decided to give her notice at her job without any prospects and has decided to move her and the girls to Chillocothe, Ohio, to be nearer to her friends and Beetle and Turtle's father. One part of me wanted to protest, the last two years have had their ups and downs...
