What is HOPE?

by

  The child and I have been chatting lately about the notion of HOPE. It began when the entire idea of MOVING arose (what do you HOPE your new school will be like?) and has grown from there now that we've relocated (What are your HOPES for our life in Oakland?). These conversations have sparked me to re-examine my definition of the word and how I apply it to my life. Ive made ... Continue Reading

Welcome to January. The month where the universe attempts to exploit our insecurities by promising it holds the (expensive) key to a healthier, happier and thinner us. Most proffer a quick-fix solution to goal achievement which, while not entirely ethical, actually makes some sense. Who wouldn’t, if given the choice between fast and easy or arduous and sweaty, pick the former? (thats not ... Continue Reading

STOP REREADING!

by

I dedicated the past 363 days to living my priorities. Ive said NO more often than I have in years past. Ive slowed down more and focused on what's important to me/my family. I've worked to appreciate and be grateful for the little things in life because Im finally aware I will look back and see they were the BIG THINGS. Quite frankly--looking back at it all-- Im not sure how I ... Continue Reading

Im as ready as I ... Continue Reading
