Enough Body Drama! Thank You, Nancy Redd. | Having Enough (In a Have-It-All World)

https://havingenough.wordpress.com/2008/01/12/enough-body-drama-thank-you-nancy-redd

Having Enough (In a Have-It-All World). Thank You, Nancy Redd. January 12, 2008 at 6:21 pm. I had this odd dream the other night. My DH and I were sitting at the foot of our bed watching one of my friends give us a “fashion show” of her new bathing suits. Only maybe she was actually modeling new plastic surgery for us, because my friend did not have her own body, she suddenly had a Victoria’s Secret. Commercials any time we turn on network television after 7 pm. So, in this dream, after a couple of my VS.

March | 2011 | Having Enough (In a Have-It-All World)

https://havingenough.wordpress.com/2011/03

Having Enough (In a Have-It-All World). Archive for March, 2011. Perhaps it is because I have a 2-year-old and a 5-year-old now, and life is pretty darn busy. Perhaps it is because I have been working on other exciting projects, such as editing books for yoga teacher Naomi Call. And parenting coach Vicki Hoefle. And writing a column on conscious living. The economic crash perhaps spurred this particular trend but that is kind of the point, isn’t it? Within another year or so, I foresee myself having more...

Having Enough (In a Have-It-All World). Archive for August, 2010. A New Family…. My friend and fellow writer-mom, Melissa, asked me to write a guest blog for her, given she just gave birth at home to a big and beautiful baby boy (woohoo! Here’s my guest post from her blog, Making Things Up. Adrienne Rich wrote, The moment of change is the only poem. And adding a new member to a family is one of the biggest changes there is. I wonder if this concept translates to families? Would siblings (and parents) han...

Praise Junkies | Having Enough (In a Have-It-All World)

https://havingenough.wordpress.com/2010/01/17/praise-junkies

Having Enough (In a Have-It-All World). January 17, 2010 at 5:03 am. Our Parenting on Track. Teacher Vicki Hoefle recently used the term “praise junkies” in one of our DVD classes. I keep thinking about this concept, not just in terms of parenting but in terms of we grown-ups and our culture at large. How would I define a “praise junkie”? Early in parenthood, I read Alfie Kohn’s comprehensive study of and argument against praise (including rewards and punishment), and Po Bronson’s article on ...Section)&...

Beginning to Be: Over and Underwhelmed

http://beginningtobe.blogspot.com/2008/11/over-and-underwhelmed.html

Sunday, November 2, 2008. Vacation. sweet vacation. Not for flying away and sipping coladas but for standing on my legs, straightening out my house and my head. Trying to gather together again. I'm a third of the way through my intern year and we seem to be maintaining. And I'm doing my best. To not criticize or back-seat drive. To parent with a minimal amount of time. To keep my house clean (even when I'm not doing my share and we have outside help every few weeks). So this week, my 1st off in 4 months-...

Beginning to Be: June 2008

http://beginningtobe.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html

Saturday, June 21, 2008. Bitching seems to be a given these days. A rite of passage in many career paths. In a time that we are blessed with so many opportunities and resources while our time and energy seem to be the limiting factor. why waste it complaining? Especially when it makes you feel worse not better. Commiserating? Yeah- being miserable together. I'm going to try to eliminate this from my way of being. My inspiration is here. Every day is another day. Join me? Friday, June 20, 2008. Three days...

Monday, November 3, 2008. You Just Have To. Do it for yourself, your friends, your family, your children. Do it for the economy, as an example to those who cannot yet. Do it for the future, for the past, for the present. I am desperate for something new- a new era, a new time, a new peace. Get out there. Vote. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A determined 30-something mother and wife, evolving into a full-fledged OB/GYN and doing my best to maintain a little sanity along the way. Be Present Be Here.

Beginning to Be: What she said

http://beginningtobe.blogspot.com/2008/11/what-she-said.html

Friday, November 7, 2008. The shape of my life is determined by many things; my background and childhood, my mind and education, my conscience and its pressures, my heart and its desires.  I want to give and take from my children and husband, to share with friends and community, to carry out my obligations as a woman, as an artist, as a citizen. My mind reels with it.  What a circus act we women perform every day of our lives.  This is not the life of simplicity that wise (wo)men warn u...A determined 30...

Star Anise: Disappointed

http://anisesmom.blogspot.com/2008/07/disappointed.html

Wednesday, July 23, 2008. I am feeling low. Very bloated, sore and low. At least I am having an emotion. No one seems to realize that it is actual surgery. Here I am again, focusing on external validation. Why do I care what other people think? I rarely ask for support from people, and when I need it, I never feel like I get it. Obviously it is something I am doing that makes me feel disappointed, but what? July 23, 2008 at 10:05 PM. July 24, 2008 at 8:24 PM. July 25, 2008 at 8:52 AM. The best cloth diap...
