Ashes Not Dust: October 2011
http://usingmytime.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 25, 2011. It's been HOW long? Ok, so, um, I've been busy. Thank the Universe - busy beyond belief. Probably too busy, in all truthfulness. But working part-time has been amazing. I've had the opportunity to bite off waaaaaay more than I can chew, spent the last six months trying to potty-train a three-year-old (and not lose my mind), adjusted to my new part-time-crazy-working-mom-loving life. And had a blast doing it. Time - it's always been about time, hasn't it? Thoughts from Steph M.

A reminder to live, not to exist… and to use my time. Feb 12, 2013 -. You know who you are. So I recently went to a concert, a show. Close to the same time last week (coincidence? You know the answer), I stumbled upon a comment from an old friend, and realized how much I missed him, missed laughing with him, missed just talking and getting the latest on how his three girls were, how happy he was in general. Before any of my other friends, this friend was the one who really got. And plays the drums? So, t...

A reminder to live, not to exist… and to use my time. Browsing " On Writing. Jan 20, 2015 -. Just under the wire…. And then I stopped. And I felt ashamed. And sad. For so many different reasons — not the least of which was thoughtlessly judging some young burgeoning writer, simply because her brand-new blog wasn’t the height of clever, compelling, accomplished writing. At least she was writing. And shocked cold, I realized that was something I absolutely could NOT say. Get in the way of. Jul 23, 2013 -.
