This is it!

Happy (almost) March! We are getting through this winter, arent' we?! You wouldn't know it here, waking up to single digit temps. However, taking the dog on a walk this morning, I could feel so much more warmth from the sun as it beat down.

I haven't been updating this blog much lately. It's not that I'm not here, it's just hard for me to figure out what to share. I get very introspective this time of year and tend to go inward. This can be difficult for a person like me who usually has some sort of pretty picture to share. I have continued with my photo-a-day project and post that over on my ArtsyMama 365 blog.

I've been quietly working on an ArtsyMama vol. 2 book. My first book incorporated the first two years of my blog. I have three more years to consolidate and rumiante on the best way to compile what has been my daily life for so long. I have been diving deep, looking at the thousands of photos that I have taken over the years and all the memories attached.

Through this work and the projects that I'm doing in Ali Edward's Yesterday and Today class, I am reminded that THIS IS IT.

This blog has always been about experiencing my life, not just waiting for what's to come. Not rushing to get going on the next thing. I am reminding myself of that right now at a tender time that I don't know what the road ahead will look like and that's ok. To be present is enough. To pay attention, slow down and treasure these moments.
