Thoughts From The Back Porch
Wednesday, June 22, 2011
Pretty crazy things can happen when you take some time and slooowww down; when you're not looking after a household of kids, and a baby and running a school. Like you have time to read... a book... for fun.
I absolutely loved The Help.
and Arianna Huffington's book, On Becoming Fearless.
And I'm loving Anne Patchett's new book, The Sate of Wonder right now too.
It's not until you stop and read a really good book, or go for a long hard trail run, or kiss a really sweet gorgeous guy that you realize you've been missing out on some things; important things that keep you in check and keep you... human. I've got some learning to do in this department.
My word for the next 6 months is BALANCE!
AND doing what I need to do to nourish my mind, body, and soul while running my organization and tending to my little ones.
I'm totally taking this on.
Love from my back porch, with Bon Iver on one of my last weeks at home. (the New Jersey home that is.)
