Category Archives: my studio notes

I’m sad when I drink the last drop of my morning coffee. Afforded the luxury of working/schooling from home, I have a well-proven ritual that allows me to ease into my day . . . time to plan my schedule, journal my feelings and ideas, read motivational words, be inspired.

i am in the midst of experiencing a personal and professional,
perhaps-only-in-my-head,
miniature existential crisis.

big words for . . .
 
 

i am feeling s-t-u-c-k.

 
 
countless ideas whirling about.
but nothing concrete happening.

leaving me a bit uninspired.

i woke up monday morning at winterchase (our home base).
exactly one month after awakening in that bed the last time.
(september 20 to october 20).

one cat was at my feet, basking in the warm sunshine.
the other was nestled into the clothes in my suitcase,
(which was right where i’d left it the night before, flung open on the floor.)

a luggage handle had been destroyed (thank you, mexico city).

[one year ago, i focused my attention on the wellness habits of six european countries with the installment of my first “wellness around the world” series (the european edition). my plan is to continue that tradition whenever and wherever i travel outside the u.s.]

[welcome to the second installment of my “wellness around the world” series .

what are your core values?

this question came up in an online course recently.
as i briefly skimmed through the assignment,
my first reaction was:
“this will be easy! i think about this stuff all the time!”

and i do.
i am constantly pondering what makes me tick, what is important to me,
what is behind the actions i take, what motivates me.
