“I am brave; I am bold; I can hold my own spirit.” – Yogi Bhajan (from Yogi Tea)

I had to leave work early today to go to traffic court in Tigard for my accident. I was given a citation even though the accident wasn’t entirely my fault. The judge asked me how I plead, and I said guilty with the chance for an explanation. He warmly addressed me, noting my [...]

At work, I finally reached out to my friend, Beth, from Fishtrap. I had been meaning to write her since I got back. She had mailed me an invite to a women’s writers weekend at her home in Corvalis in August called geochronicity. I was very excited about this. I am experiencing a [...]

I woke up at 8:15 a.m. with a heinous headache. I had a blast last night but imbibed a little too much bubbly. I threw my stuff together, dressed and headed back home. On my way, I dropped off my IPNC pass for another co-worker to use it for Sunday events.
As soon as [...]

I woke up at around 7:30 to get an early start and meet up with colleagues to pass along our IPNC passes (my office was exchanging passes to attend different seminars and events of IPNC). I carpooled with Jerry and Meg to the IPNC breakfast at Linfield College.
After, I got on my [...]

I slept in. I was exhausted after a long work day and event. I eventually got up and got to work just after noon. IPNC was well underway and I would participate later in the afternoon.
I spent the afternoon getting caught up on work missed from a day setting up the wine dinner [...]

When I woke up this morning, I said aloud, “today we get to throw a party!” It’s an exciting feeling to be able to put on a special event that is going to be memorable for so many. I went to pick up the printed menus, more flowers at Trader Joe’s…beautiful purple orchids, [...]
