Daisymama: No! No pinching.
Bird: Num-a-num! Heheheheheeee!
Daisymama: Wanna nursey?
Bird: *looks at me as if I’ve just stepped out of a spaceship* Hehehee, no…
Daisymama: Hmm. Is Boo suddenly too grown up for nummies?
Bird: *emphatic nod* Uh- HUH! Wah-yee?
Daisymama: Okaaaaay… *hands Bird sippy*

metapsyche
April 6, 2008 – 12:47 pm
Often I’m having this feeling that my psyche is finally coalescing and settling in. I’m more comfortable in this existence, and I’m owning my mental and physical space more. I feel at home in my body, listening to its complaints and pleasures more, intuiting its rhythms and tides. I’m more assertive about my choices- like [...]
mindfulness and stillness: it turns out i don’t really like
April 5, 2008 – 11:10 pm
The meditation workshop was, shockingly, torturous. I thought a day of Buddhist mindfulness meditation would be like a tall, clear glass of water where my soul is a thirsty throat. Instead, I found it perfectly excruciating. My internal dialog was a constant barrage of “I suck at this,” and when I finally found some peace [...]
meditation day
April 4, 2008 – 9:58 pm
My model canceled for tomorrow. It’s annoying, and every day missed working on my print is a little extra stress, but it also frees my morning up. My church has a Buddhist meditation workshop in the morning. At least one of my Earthways people is going, and I really wanted to go and was really [...]

I was in the ninth circle of gastroinstestinal hell this weekend. Dinner Friday was a (really amazingly delish) cheesy pizza, half a pan of Krispy treats, and two cheap beers. Breakfast the following morning killed me. The grandies made omelets and biscuits and breakfast rice (do y’all eat that outside WV? It’s rice with milk, [...]
more on the psych stuff
February 7, 2008 – 3:23 pm
Groovy: Zen Habits has a guest post up about the Albert Ellis techniques I was talking about the other day. (The Rational Emotive Behavioral stuff.) This is a Sure Sign from The Universe, via synchronicity, that it must be truly awesome.
Post author is Urban Monk, whose own blog looks very cool, too. I am becoming a [...]

February 4, 2008 – 5:36 pm
Laura freakin’ rules. She turned me onto this Wikipedia article about Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy. It’s brilliant. And this Ellis cat designed it just for me. Look! He talks about people who “think about their thinking and even think about thinking about their thinking.”
I’m still studying up on the article- which is terribly written but [...]
one hundred ninety and a weight loss rant
February 2, 2008 – 11:37 am
I just weighed in, and found that I’m ten pounds lighter than my weight when we conceived and after my giant-blimp-water-retention-borderline-pre-eclampsia weight dropped.
Oh my Goddess the squee!
I’d set a goal of losing 20 pounds before my clinic’s big fundraiser gala on February 24th. So I’m halfway there and honestly, if I went crazy and dieted and junk [...]
an anxious slacker all during her twenties, she suddenly became an overnight sensation when…
January 28, 2008 – 3:01 pm
At age 31 and three quarters, she began waking at 6:00 am. That month, Daisy became the super prolific artist we all know today, and simultaneously lost 50 pounds, published a novel, and remodeled her house- all whilst teaching her child American Sign Language and French and practicing Tai Chi with Bu.
This is the silly [...]
blog for choice: contemplating the spiritual experience of abortion
January 22, 2008 – 3:59 pm
For some reason I’m feeling raw-emotional today. I can’t think of any meaningful thing to post, but I’m reading Abortion Clinic Days and feeling teary and complex and thinking of my women friends-allies at the clinic and acknowledging the depth and breadth of our patients’ experiences… just sinking back into the memories of working there and how [...]
