hi friends.... things are just a bit too hectic in my world at the moment and so i must take a bit of a pause here. hopefully it will be short and hopefully i will still have time to catch up with all of you....
i know we've all been affected by what happened to the kims . there are a few folks who are organizing ways to help.
one thought :: i was trying to move around in the dark in part of my house the other night [so i wouldn't wake my sleeping husband] . my hands were in front of me to prevent me from hitting anything... my eyes couldn't adjust to the darkness and were straining... swirling.... my heart beat quickened since i simply couldn't "see". i then closed my eyes and lo and behold i could navigate because i DID know where things were. it was easier trusting what i knew and using my other senses. for some reason this metaphor seems incredibly important at this moment.
be well. talk soon. the above photo is my small attempt at matilda proof holiday cheer
i think that metaphor is important. i'm sending you some big bear hugs from ecuador...it sounds like you could use 'em.
love the metaphor and the "matilda proof" decorations. :) hang in there sweet lisa.
xoxo shari
and another big hug from the east coast.
this week has been surreal and emotional, even for those of us who only know of the Kims through stories.
You're quite right, though. Sometimes it is important to let go of what we perceive to be control, and just coast through the hardes times.
Your decorations are beautiful, and meditative. I hope you find time to enjoy them!

Hi Lisa, not had time to catch your blog til now, and really only photo scanning through, I'm having blog break too, so here's to both of us getting what we need during our break so that we feel calmer and revived on our return. X
hello lisa, love your kitty-safe home-decor (wouldn't that be a cool headline for a mag?!). sending you good vibes and strenght all the way across the big pond (that must work !). be well!
i'm not far behind you on that mini meltdown.....(and so brilliant the matilda-safe holiday!)
i wish i could
help...
let me know
if there is
anything
i can do.
xoxox
This is the perfect time to take a break! And by doing it now, you'll feel less frazzled and more organized the closer the actually holidays get!
(oh, I understand kitty-proofing, I have a very curious cat that likes to play w/ anything bright and shiny and jingly!)
Get some rest and relax.
Tiff*
I do that when i get up for the girls in the night...i close my eyes and calmly follow my instincts...sending hugs xxx
I hope you get what you need on your break. I look forward to when you''re back feeling fresh and relaxed. Enjoy!
:::hugs:::::
Wise words indeed, my dear. The decorations are so crafty. Be sure to rest well. Hugs.
i hope you get everything you need from your break, sweet lisa.
yes! big big hugs!
take care, lisa. hope the end of the semester goes smoothly and easily for you.
I adore that picture with christmas decorations. It reminds me of candy in old jars when I was little.
Have a wonderful and relaxing break ;)
Take care, Lisa... and looking forward to your triumphant return. Sending hugs... rest up, my friend.
see you, g
letting go and trusting what you know - wise words indeed. hope your break is the oasis of calm you need.
sending you great big deer (better than bear) hugs.
xo, abee
i bought a silver tree last year and being jewish, am really excited to put it up...my husband won't let me because he knows that the cats will trash it/climb it/eat it, etc. your kitty has the sweetest little face!
