Oh yes, absolutely. Babies in diapers and rain boots? Super scrumptious!

Okay, this post was deep and stuff … but THAT PICTURE. So unbelievably cute. When you have the Momalom Con, can there be babies in diapers and boots? Please?

[...] for them all. I am not the only one, of course. For as I was crafting this post, Sarah was writing her own, just an hour south and yet too far away. We didn’t know it, but it’s not unusual that [...]

Excuse me while I wipe away my happy tears.

Sniffle, sniffle.

Okay, I wanted to tell you how happy I am that you and Jen embarked on this journey. One year! Only one year? I feel like I’ve known you two forever.

Thank you, Eva. Entertaining and Inspiring? I WILL TAKE IT!

And yes, that line you quoted, it is FOR REAL. But I give Jen all the credit on that one. It was a conversation we had over the phone, and it echoed over and over again in my head long after we had hung up. The blog has become a way for me to ground myself. I am forever grateful Jen started it. And I am always hopeful that I will have more time to dedicate to it and writing, in general.

I read this comment just before watching the Oscars last night. I thought of you as they took shots of the stars all lined up in their sleeveless dresses. :)

I have found these moments of PRESENCE are better few and far between, actually. There is way too much pressure on everyone to enjoy it all. ENJOY THE MOMENTS. Enjoy the little bits of every day. I fold under pressure, in general. And with this message ringing loud and clear every time I turn my head I feel like a giant failure.

So I sneak in these peaceful posts. These little bits of clarity. These moments of really, honestly knowing that today isn’t forever, and I better take pause to recognize it.

Rambling now, but I think you might get this, no?

I know I already emailed you about this, but I just had to reiterate here on the site that this new 3-D imagery plays in my mind. Cycles like screws, winding down, winding up. I see it lifesize, and me perched on a coil slip-sliding, but with purpose.

I think I could be a slinky if I really wanted to be. I sure do bounce back pretty well. (Everything but my thighs and ass, that is!)

Likewise, Linda. I’m so glad I found YOU. I keep hoping that the more I read you the more your powers of story-telling will transfer to me. :)

I’ve never done stories well. I think I need to start.

Congratulations on your one-year blog anniversary! You two are doing great work – writing that is hilariously entertaining and quietly inspiring.

I love how you describe blogging and how it has “made me more aware of the moments in my life and the riches that I have.” This is exactly it! Writing makes us pay more attention to our days and our moments, to be present, to appreciate life as it is right now. Thank you for sharing this with all of us.
