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!

Recycling my babble for Earth Day
In honor of Earth Day I am going to do some recycling. Not my #2 plastics - I do that everyday (unless there's too much gooey peanut butter stuck and then the jar sits on my counter "soaking" for a few weeks until I get sick of it and just chuck it. So sue me.) … Continue reading Recycling my babble for Earth Day
On a quest to find the truth
I'm sitting here in this hotel room and suddenly I'm struck dumb. No fighting children to break apart, no dinner to prepare, no responsibilities. I could write all night if I so wished.

Fry-daddies and other down-right scary things
This post is off topic but a necessary rant for me (thanks for listening). I'm not one to promote TV shows or popular culture issues or to insert highly Google-able words just to get readership. If I was in this for high stats I would change my focus - "journaling" isn't exactly a hot SEO. … Continue reading Fry-daddies and other down-right scary things
Quoting Natalie: Tolerating fear
"First recognize that you're afraid and slowly build your tolerance for fear... ... You may still feel it, but you become willing to bear it as you write. You keep your hand moving, you stay there, you move closer and closer to the edge of what scares you." - Natalie Goldberg, Thunder and Lightning I … Continue reading Quoting Natalie: Tolerating fear
