Facebook apparently draws one away from the prose and more detailed blog updates. But then maybe, I just forgot about this. It’s time though…good exercise to write more regularly, and maybe move away from the FB all things Isabella, all the time. A bit more of the personal here. ok…finding it, remembering my log in, […]

to minimize redundancy, please stay tuned to the travel blog and I will return to my personal blog after I get home. http://tagalogtravelblog.blogspot.com/ be well!

I am not sure if it is possible to not wake up in complete gratitude for this life. But it doesn’t matter. I am happy to have so very much to be grateful for. Time for work, so I will leave it at that for now.

hard to believe – but I am having bittersweet feelings about leaving for a month. Crazy talk, eh? I am just so happy. But the month will speed by, at least for me. Philippines, I am coming back!!

and it is bittersweet. I am excited to be going back to the Philippines, really I am. And yet, I never expected that I would be thinking how much I would like to be spending this coming month tucked in some cabin in the woods, or traipsing around Alaska, or fishing anywhere or relaxing on […]

What an amazing last couple of weeks. Hard to even capture all the joy and excitement and feelings of hope and potential for the future. I am spending this holiday in the present, embracing the bliss and wonder of things that feel like they are happening the right way. For once? Has it been a […]

I am just living in the present and loving every moment. I think this is how it is suppose to feel. Who knew?

I bribed Julie with wine for her help putting the 8 tables together…wine and drills…yikes

ok….it is done for now. Still a lot of stuff in that room but at least I can find it all now. Shall we start with the embarrassing “before” pictures? How did that room get so trashed?

I have started again. For real. I am tired of looking at runners and feeling guilty; feeling like I should be out there. I feel better when I do. There is no denying that. It is all about making it habit again. And for that, Julie is helping. Hard to stay in bed when someone […]

Cause frankly, I am not understanding my feelings….welcome to November I guess.

Wednesday, I testify on PDX, but actually have no evening plans. Thursday, Rick’s b-day at China Bay in Beaverton. And impossible as it seems, Friday is Halloween […]

I haven’t seen Appaloosa yet and still want to. Wall-e played today at noon at the Venetian and I missed it, dang, but Tropic Thunder is playing this week (one I gladly prefer to pay 4 dollars for) followed by the new Mummy movie which I also have not seen yet. Seems like these next […]

Well, I almost made it to bed….but then I looked up the movie I might see this weekend… http://www.salon.com/ent/movies/review/2008/09/17/appaloosa/ I will go to sleep thinking of Viggo. Yum.
