Danger: Toxic levels of self-bashing

Posted in It's all About Me, Life, Home & Community, Living Authentically, tagged , , , on March 17, 2011 | 2 Comments »

This post is a bit of an off-shoot for me but as I write it I will somehow figure out how to make a journaling prompt out of it. And I also know many of you will relate to what I am about to say. I got rejected. By a home-cleaning professional. Let me explain. [...]

We plan. Life laughs.

Well, here we are. Five days into 2011 and I am finally getting to my computer. I had big plans. My goals for work, school, housework, and this blog were all spelled out in my January 1 journal entry. I had my running shoes on and I was just waiting for the starting gun, i.e. [...]

Trust the process, part 6 (Procrastination)

Posted in Journaling Techniques & Prompts, Life, Home & Community, tagged , , on October 12, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

I have to admit this post is an act of pure procrastination. I have two book annotations to write for my next packet of graduate work. I am still in my jammies at 10:21AM and the house is quiet except for the fish tank trickling, the bunny crashing around the play room and Pandora.com playing [...]

Katrina, 5 years on, first hand

Posted in Life, Home & Community on August 29, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

(I’m going to digress from my regular theme today as August 29th is an important anniversary in my family’s and this country’s history.) Five years ago I was in my home in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, approximately 2 hours north of the Gulf coast. As I sat tightly cradling my child against me trying to stem my [...]

Quoting Christina: We write.

Posted in Life, Home & Community, Living Authentically, Writing & Career, tagged , , on July 7, 2010 | 4 Comments »

We are searching for ways to reclaim a sense of place, a sense of empowerment, a sense of healthy relationship between our lives and our times. We look for whatever can help us make sense of the moment. We Write. (Christina [...]

Because I have been taking myself too seriously…

Posted in It's all About Me, Life, Home & Community, Living Authentically, Writing & Career on June 12, 2010 | 2 Comments »

I realized something this morning. I miss writing. While I write something everyday – my journal, an article or just a facebook status (does that count?) – I miss what I do best (humble, I know): Write. I loved everything about blogging when I began writing at jlucymuses.blogspot.com. My days and activities were all potential [...]

Put the lime in the coconut

Posted in Journaling Techniques & Prompts, Life, Home & Community, Living Authentically on May 3, 2010 | 1 Comment »

It finally turned warm (again) this weekend. Two weeks ago I got a sunburn, one week ago I was scraping snow off the car and today I am sitting by an open window trying to get some air while the sky threatens a thunder storm. That kind of dramatic weather change not only messes with [...]

A reminder just in time for summer vacation

Posted in Life, Home & Community, tagged , , on April 26, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Note: This is a recycled post, the second in a series while I take a journal-blogging break. I hope you enjoy the off-topic jaunt. Silly Mommy, trips are for kids! May 10, 2009 Funny how memory works. We swear we will never take both kids to the grocery store right after school, then we do again… [...]
