Happy Bearth Day

It's more than just Earth Day y'all. It's a very Happy "Bearth"Day to a one Mr. Russ.

 to the man who never stops working- He can't even stop long enough for a wedding reception, he just shoveled straight through.



to the man who has all the dance moves, and at least 1 beat ahead of the rest of us.

to a man who has ridden the high seas....

and the tall ears.



to a man whose fashion sense has been praised and admired by millions of other jealous men and women alike,

and to the man to whom I owe my gratitude for my college education (and all the educations that came before it, too!) and all the other millions of things that he has provided for me, and now for Dan and I.

Happy Birthday Daddy~love you.

Unlike other years where I've had to tamp down my agony about the colder weather, for once, I was happy to put the summer behind me and walk into the future. In all honestly, this past spring and summer were maybe the most difficult I've traversed in my happy, comfortable first-world life. It's been a bit of a transition, leaving behind a good career and bustling office for a better career but lonelier landscape. Saying goodbye to my mare and finding her a better fit ultimately led to me taking a break from what has been an emotional, physical, social, therapeutic outlet and passion for me for many years, which in turn meant losing re...

A Balanced Life

Picking up the Copperpot on paint day at school (note the purple hair!) After coming back to work part time a month after I had the Copperpot, I was exhausted, shell shocked, and hyper aware of how tiny my baby still was. I couldn't fathom leaving her in anyone's arms but her grandmothers, and I was extremely lucky that those women took on that task so willingly in those early months to allow me to go back to work and try and figure things out.  When the maternity leave ran out and my baby was still tiny, despite the huge decision ahead of me, it wasn't even a decision. I couldn't send my newborn to a giant daycare. Or a babysitter. That's not to say that I think women who do are less good mothers - in fact, I think they're 100 times stronger and braver than I will ever be.  So I decided to quit my office job and pursue my side project of freelance writing as full time as time would allow while still being home with the critter. In just a few mont...
