Is this thing on?

I wish I had a good audio file of that sound that people make when they breathe into microphones to see if they are on.

For this is my microphone and it hasn't been on in a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time.  I wish I had a really good reason why I haven't blogged, but I don't.  Have I been busy?  Yes.  Wedding planning and work and shoveling snow...did you know in the mid-Atlantic states we have gotten a "me's" worth of snow this winter?  I'm 5'8" - that's a LOT of snow!  But that's no real excuse.

I was sitting at lunch with my betrothed on President's Day thinking to myself "I don't want to go to work tomorrow -- I really just want to coach." - and that's not because my job sucks or anything.  It's a fine job, with fine people but it isn't feeding and I need to be fed.  So I'm back to this blog because I enjoy the writing and I want to slowly morph this blog into a place where I can work more on my coaching -- of myself and others.

To get us back into the flow - I'm stealing this meme from Kate Swoboda.

I am: looking forward to new adventures.

I think: that life can be what you make of it

I know: everyone's story matters

I want: be fulfilled by my work

I have: worries.  I worry too much

I dislike: how I feel in my body right now

I miss: Seattle

I fear: never really being all that I can be

I feel: contemplative

I hear: NPR

I smell: my lavender hand lotion

I crave: being fulfilled

I usually: sleep with the same stuffed animal I have slept with since I was 9 months old

I search: peace

I wonder: if Grace is ok

I regret: not always taking care of myself

I love: my life

I care: about the people in my life

I am always: wondering where the story will wind up!

I worry: about everything

I remember: where I was 4 years ago and am so thankful I am here today

I have: everything I need to be who I want to be.

I dance: badly!

I sing: all of the time

I don’t always: exercise

I argue: so very rarely

I write: because one of my secret dreams is to be a writer

I lose: myself sometimes.

I wish: I didn't doubt myself so much

I listen: lovingly

I don’t understand: why we are fighting about health care - how can we, as a people with a conscience, not take care of each other.

I can usually be found: with my iPhone!

I am scared: that people judge me all of the time

I need: love, acceptance and Wawa ice.

I forget: I am strong

I am happy: when I am with the people I love most.
