Category Archives: my studio notes

I’ve been writing weekly blog posts for almost four years, every Thursday without fail, since late September 2012. And I started noticing something interesting in the last several months.

Even though my clients have primarily been women with eating issues (ranging from full-blown eating disorders to yo-yo dieting struggles and everywhere in between on the continuum), the reactions and responses to my blog (and also to my Facebook posts) tend to focus more on my approach to life and my willingness to share my human side, both the triumphs and the trials.

i had a glorious plan of action in place for this week.
real life, however, had a different idea for me.

    walking the corridors
    talking to my dad’s doctors
    waiting for results

        the hospital dance

while

    watching my work pile up
    battling cold/flu symptoms
    missing my family

        off the beaten track

when life takes you away from .

we get up.
we do what we need to do.
(sometimes we don’t.)

we go to bed.
(sometimes we sleep.)

we get back up.
another day.
and do it all again.

routine, monotony.
longing for more.
sometimes getting to the finish line.

so i had this pretty snazzy blog post all typed up.
full of advice and experience-laden words of wisdom.
about discovering your true essence
(the primary aim of my business),
and also about the dangers of self-sabotage.

i still think the information is helpful.

2016. the vision.

 
 
not surprisingly, my vision board centers around italy.

but not in the decluttering and packing and shipping and goodbye-saying and traveling and moving and language-learning and painting and remodeling and culture-shocking and adapting and settling kind of way.
