“Look at the time!” I know this is universal, this passage of time, seemingly too quickly, but it’s been a particular struggle for me these past two weeks. Between all the snow, the many days off from school, the upheaval of two major rooms in our home and my husband’s changing schedule for the new…… Continue Reading

OM :: The Numbers
Did you feel all that energy at the beginning of the year? All the possibilities, the plans, perhaps some resolutions? I love that feeling because it really is one of life’s natural highs. The yin to that yang is usually the dissection of my business numbers from the previous year. They annually send me into…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Decisions We Make
Sometimes I wonder when the thought process for a decision ends. Is it when we make up our minds that we are definitely doing something and our silly brains think that’s it? I’m not a fan of over-thinking the decisions we choose to make, but is it too much to ask to think about them…… Continue Reading
OM :: The One Word 2010
This year I chose a word to guide and define my year. I chose Warmth and couldn’t be happier with how it has weaved itself into my daily life. Warmth colored my designs and my relationships and my thinking. I found that when I struggled with anything, I could ground myself with my one word.…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Let-Go
First of all, Happy Holidays and best wishes for a terrific new year! It’s been eight years since our family started sending photo cards during the holiday season. I don’t know about you, but the pressure to get them made, addressed, sent and delivered before a certain date is ridiculous. Why do we do this…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Cat Door
If you visit here, you know I live with all boys. It’s a unique experience, to say the least and to keep my sanity, I must share the boy happenings from time to time. Life with Boys is going to be one of my “themes” next year. I’m one of those people that needs to…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Bye-Bye
Almost every year, we travel to the southwest corner of Connecticut for a Hanukkah party at my husband’s cousin’s house. We’ve gone there in many family incarnations: our family of four; with my in-laws; me alone with the two boys. This year was me alone again with the boys. In past years, it’s been hard…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Avatar Comes to Life
Lots of great moments this week and it’s been a whirlwind of activity during this holiday time. I took a road trip yesterday to Rhode Island to visit my friend Linda of a la mode and to visit Craftland. Linda was nice enough to extend an invitation to me to stay at her home. The…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Girl I Never Met
I’m thinking about a little girl today. Her name was Julia. She lost her battle with a blood disease last year at Thanksgiving time. Her life touched mine and I still think of her fairly often. I never met her. I knew her mom at 10 years old in 5th and 6th grade when I…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Situation
My husband and I had a Parent-Teacher Conference with Eli’s Kindergarten teacher this week. We were curious about what his teacher would say in the meeting, not knowing what kind of student he would be. Not that he isn’t smart and curious, but he’s also stubborn, talkative and a rule-stretcher. Our oldest son, Abe, had…… Continue Reading
