Inside the Chrysalis: June 2009
http://insidethechrysalis.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 18, 2009. I'm reading a book,. The Botany of Desire. By Michael Pollan, he is also the author of the. The Omnivores Dilemma,. Another book I've referenced in previous posts. The chapter I'm reading is all about the Tulip frenzy of the 1600's in Holland. A few things I noted are of particular interest, and relate to beauty. One reason for the frenzy is because of how the broken tulip was viewed. "Beauty always takes place in the particular," writes Elaine Scarry, "and if there are no pa...

Inside the Chrysalis: November 2009
http://insidethechrysalis.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 20, 2009. I'm currently reading a book that reveals the internal thoughts of a young twelve year old girl and a snobby female concierge as they live life in a prestigious condo building in Paris, France. This book is beautifully written and contains ideas that provoke thought. Just the other day a paragraph jumped out at me that I want to share it with you. I thought this was a profound statement. Could it be true? Am I looking at you to see myself? What if I don't like what's reflected?

http://insidethechrysalis.blogspot.com/2010/01/intelligence-overrated.html
Friday, January 8, 2010. I'm currently reading a couple of books with chapters on Intelligence. The first book I picked up a couple of weeks ago and is titled. What the Dog Saw. By Malcolm Gladwell.

Inside the Chrysalis: April 2009
http://insidethechrysalis.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 27, 2009. As it turns out, the shrub in question was a Mock-orange with an intense citrus scent, which now sprawled out in a gnarly heap with a scent the antithesis of sweet. I wasn't sure how to approach it, since it was my height and right next to the house. I couldn't get enough leverage with the shovel, so I made a few demarcations at the base and stood back to evaluate. Many of the Crossfit heavyweights may laugh at this simple Crossfit mom's outlook, but it really is working for me an...

If you have any ideas let me know.for now I will indulge in those juicy, sweet and real tomatoes.oops, they're are...Livin...

Inside the Chrysalis: December 2009
http://insidethechrysalis.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 14, 2009. Ephemeral.you either know the meaning of it-or not. I confess until I looked it up the other day, I had a different notion of its meaning. It's one of those words people are afraid to use in a sentence, because it is harder to say than most everyday words. Also, it's meaning is so simple that the complexity of the word lends itself to a "hoity-toity-ness" people might raise an eyebrow at. Lasting a short time; usually only a day. Lasting only 8 minutes. This is the perfect time...

As I sat waiting for my Beet salad (roasted beets, orange segments, frisee and citrus vinaigrette) and Sweet Potatoe Fries at Trellis Restaurant in Kirkland, I couldn't help feeling guilty even though I don't make New Year's Resolutions.
