my one word prompt {december twenty-two}

December. December! I'd say I feel...ready. Ready for my last month with My Word. (Though elements of Engage will stay with me, for sure.) That's some of what I'll do this month, in fact. Sit with this 'capsule' of my word. A cheat sheet of what I did this year...and what will I bring with...

my one word prompt {november twenty-two}

I can't believe it! I did it again. (Well, not again.) (Sort of again.) (More like simultaneously?) Let me back up: In my last post, I told you how I screwed up logistics...at a friend's expense...a couple of weeks ago. Which was bad enough! Listen to what else I did: Lincoln is flying back to...

my one word prompt {october twenty-two}

This little maple leaf caught my eye on a walk a few days ago. (Contrasting colors in nature tend to hijack my attention. Coleus, for example. And lichen against a host.) On Wednesday morning, I left my van at a service station for its NYS state inspection and took a quiet walk while I waited....

engaging…lately {31}

This week, I spent one particularly great day with my aunt, going our own pace...talking and laughing, driving through Amish country, visiting a small lake where my brother and I went to summer camp, and hearing old stories I was surprised to be getting for the very first time. We had fun. Good conversation. Beautiful...

engaging…lately {26}

It's a holiday weekend. Aud + her boyfriend fly in tomorrow...kids play ball in the park as I type...Troy + Linc are fishing with cousins. And I can't bring myself to write a real post.
