cake and cup: May 2011
http://cakeandcup.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
For anyone wondering about the project I was rambling on about in the last post. Here are the long and short of it. The long: a book. The short: writing every day. The dream that I have is to write. It is also the very core of who I am, though I think I've been in denial for most of my life. As a child, I loved writing. I tore off covers of books and filled them with stories of fairies, forests, and so on. I wrote about world peace! What are you unearthing these days? Links to this post. So much of what ...

cake and cup: February 2011
http://cakeandcup.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
I've been quiet here lately, but I'm just enjoying life and working out some thoughts. The weather is slowly warming up and the days are becoming brighter. I've never been a fan of Valentine's Day, but I'm beginning to warm up to it. After all, between a husband who surprises me with flowers and my favorite dark mint chocolate and my two tiny valentines, what's not to love? Links to this post. Here's a great article. About the disease in general. And here's a wonderful one. Links to this post.

cake and cup: heart of writing
http://cakeandcup.blogspot.com/2011/10/heart-of-writing.html
Writing practice knows this, knows we are not our thoughts, but lets the thoughts, visions, emotions run through us and puts them on the page. Writing is the crack through which you can crawl into a bigger world, into your wild mind." -Natalie Goldberg. What sorts of treasures are you enjoying these days? This fabulous, cool, good-smelling weather is the BEST! Enjoy your walks with your littles before theyre old enough to zoom off ahead of you on their big bikes with their hair flowing out behind them.

cake and cup: in my mind's eye
http://cakeandcup.blogspot.com/2011/11/in-my-minds-eye.html
In my mind's eye. Blog: "Write your first draft with your heart. Rewrite with your head," from Finding Forrester. In my life, I strive to be in the moment, and to soak up the details around me, as they work like mental compost to eventually enrich my writing. Also, as cooler weather sets in, I start needing to bake. Thus the cookies begin to be a staple on my counter top. Soon it will be pies, and apple cake. What's your favorite fall treat? November 14, 2011 at 3:08 PM. Ive been a bit of a slacker latel...

Trying to assume less and ask better questions. Is Christ Singing “Although, Cruel Love? I woke up singing. This morning. Sebben, Crudele. Although, Cruel Love) is an aria from Antonio Caldara’s 1710 opera La costanza in amor vince l’inganno. Mi fai languir,. Although, cruel love,. You make me languish,. I will be able to tire out. Painfully beautiful is the affection of a patient Lover. I think Christ is that Lover. I think we are the prideful beloved. Taking these things together and looking at them in...

Trying to assume less and ask better questions. There are moments in my life when if I would have looked up into the clearest night sky I could have only picked out the voids of darkness between those distant stars. I am convinced when God wishes to chasten his beloved he does not threaten them with hellfire, but employees them in his Church. Why imagine even a philosophical god who is so sensitive in his own perfection that he is unable to be near sin and must be separated from it? Totally depraved huma...

cake and cup: a little break
http://cakeandcup.blogspot.com/2011/09/little-break.html
A break, a vacation, is just what a person needs sometimes. I took a vacation when my mom and brother flew in, and we went, with the kids, to the beach together. It was wonderful! I also took a break from any sort of writing, which felt good at first, but now I feel malnourished. The most exciting news of this week is Finn's third birthday, coming right up on Thursday. He has requested a strawberry cake, so I am on the hunt for the perfect recipe. Are you taking a little break from anything? I hope your ...

cake and cup: April 2011
http://cakeandcup.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
The life I want. My neighbor Sara and her partner went to help with chainsaws the next day, and left their kids with me. Another friend. Whose house was blessedly left standing but who had 8 trees in her yard fall, also dropped her kids off with me that day. I spent all day playing with six kids, making sandwiches, putting babies down for naps, and generally enjoying myself. As the day ended and the kids cleared out, Josh and his boys came into town. Links to this post. Moss and smooth stones. Easter was...

cake and cup: big news
http://cakeandcup.blogspot.com/2011/08/big-news.html
The summer days are slipping by. This morning the air was cooler, and a breeze flipped the leaves of the trees back and forth, waving hello. I have been busy learning a new city. Atlanta is not completely new to me, I spent twelve years of my life living just outside of Atlanta, in various suburbs. Living in the city, though, is different. It is still easy for me to get turned around as I try to find my way about town. Did I already express how much I love it here? Here is the big news as of late. I scop...
