How did your dinner go?  I'm sure it was a great success!  You're such an amazing cook!!  And how was mediation?  Did everyone survive?  I saw your mention of Oasis and immediately the calm washed over me.…

Father daughter day was a success! Allegro and her father, Alex came to help. Alex helped tolga thru his first meltdown with Mina and they all survived. I got about 3 hrs to myself to do some window shopping before settling in with a good book and…

Speaking up for yourself and your daughter took a great deal of courage and was a wonderful gift for both of you! You are such a caring person and I wish you and Nina the very best!

What a wonderful post with great ideas.  I love the idea about recucling things to yourself, making them new again. You are also giving Mina such a gift by helping Tolga connect her and in supporting his relationship with her. You demonstrate…

I was most struck by the story about the ball.  This is a testament to where your heart is.

Leaf commented on Leaf's blog post 'Recycling'
Well, I had to think of something, I had a really cute outfit that I never wore because every time I looked at it, I remembered putting it on after I took off my wedding gown. Now when look at it, I remember the fun morning mina and I had out at a…

Wow this is a great post!  I love your idea about recycling yourself to you.  You are such a beautiful person and a fantastic role model for Mina (and for all of us).  I will pray that you and Tolga can work out your issues in a way…

You are such a positive loving person -- and your little daughter is obviously learning from your example.  The gift of listening and understanding is one of the best gifts anyone can give another.  I am sure your friends also appreciated…

Snowy day comfort

Evening all!I made up a few more reading shawls and have either handed them out or mailed them out. I think that brings the count up to about 30 shawls this season! Phew!Today's delivery was to an older woman up the street who loves to read and doesn't have heat up in her reading room. She has to turn on the downstairs heat for it to come up andc heat her front room. Well, she just needed a shawl, don't you think? We had quite the snowstorm today and I walked it up to her front steps before…See More

Taking a break from myself

Posted on March 30, 2011 at 8:49am 2 Comments

Well, I chose not to go the the museum today and give a tour and instead I am sitting at the Oasis Cafe. I need a little oasis in my life right now!



It is really a friendly, welcoming place and I think I might have to take the drive down here more often.



I guess I have been spending my time helping Cynthia, Allegra's mom, through her transition from married life to single mom-hood. I am trying to pass on the support that was given to me when I first began this journey last… Continue

honoring my feelings, honestly

Posted on March 19, 2011 at 6:21am 6 Comments

I had to make a decision this week to meet with Tolga, alone, and talk to or not to. I had been feeling uncomfortable with that idea and finally stepped up and honored my feelings;therby, giving myself permission take a step back.

 

I had been feeling bullied when he would talk about all this divorce stuff and I finally was able to put myself first and tell him. I told him that I would not talk with him if he was going to be a bully and talk AT me and not with me. It was time…

Recycling

I need to get back to writing here more often. It makes me feel more connected to myself..



I have been taking the opportunity to re-gift myself to Myself. So many things that I have or own have memories from my marriage attached to them. There is an outfit I wore on my wedding day, furniture bought together, etc. I want to be able to look at these items and not feel sad. SO! I decided to recycle them and attach different memories to them or change the environment around… Continue

Lending a listening ear

Afternoon all!



I am finally sitting down after a long week of cooking and I have finished everything earlier than expected...so nice!



I guess me gift of the week is listening to friends sort out their complicated lives. I sat with sunny for awhile as she went back and forth about what to do. I basically told her that she needed to return to doing the 29gifts program. She started and never finished and now she feels really scattered. By giving and releasing, you open… Continue
