piggly wiggly

I am feeling fearful of swine flu.  In my life, I don’t have memories of other virus ‘pandemics;’ it seems dire to me.  Working at the Unicorn and riding public transport may or may not raise my risk since I do interact with many many people per day and deal with their dirty dishes.  We [...]

rain rain rain

today daniel, the doggies and I were drenched in the rain…twice!  oh storms storms.  The dogs are scared of the storms and shiver and pace and pant at the thunder crashes or lurking clouds.
We are back at page one.  Not fully at page one because we have had all sorts of experiences since page one [...]

putting it out there.

We are hoping to move.  We ideally would be biking distance to Santa Fe…but maybe not quite.  Maybe further away.  We ideally would have some outdoor space.  an acre or more.  Maybe a fence.  A house with a few rooms.  Dogs allowed.  An oven.  A tub.  Space to garden.
Soon.
I think it is important that I [...]

los perros mexicanos-americanos

One year ago this morning, Daniel, Tunas, Nata, Tomato and I woke up in the United States.  We had moved back here.  We took our first walk together with the pups here.   The next day the pups met their first snowfall.
It has been one of my great challenges raising these pups.  and one of my [...]

foodles of noodles

I have been dreaming about fish!  Ever since my friends, May and Dan, ate fresh fish in San Diego, California.
tonight we cook cod!
and artichoke!  I already prepared the artichoke–  my first time preparing an artichoke–
a wacky experience… a fun experience!  I think this was my first time buying produce in months…I’ve been diligently eating farm [...]

Another year of my life!  Another year on the path of life!
Each year, this week holds different meanings to me.  This year, [...]

progressions

I am finding inspiration.  Today I believe that I am connecting to inspiration.  To heart.  To my feeling center.  I breathe in.  I breathe out.
Tonight began the first of my experiments in chai.  After about a week of research, I began the process of making chai.  I made it.  I drank it.  tonight.  Next time, [...]

new days

Today the United States of America has inaugurated a new president.  I feel excited, proud, fearful.  The process/progress of change triggers excitement in me… as well as fear.  What is to come?  Who knows who knows?
I remember last year in Mexico reading the BBC World News coverage online of the race for the democratic seat–  [...]

the bug

We got the bug.  Daniel and I.  We got it.  Well, I guess technically I maybe almost no more got it.
The flu.
Mine started around the 22 or so of December with a sneeze, followed by a sore throat and post-nasal-drip.  this past week, it turned into THE COUGH- the one that to me seems as [...]

¡a bailar!

In this month of December, I think daily of dancing.  I imagine the blisses of dancing.  Of throwing my body around in a space.  Of surfing on sound waves.  Of celebrating!
I, THUS, think of Mexico.  I think of El Derramadero.  I think of Santa Ana Maya.  I think of the time spent in this month [...]
