Tools in My Toolbox

August 7, 2020August 6, 2020 Anne Brock

There are many tools in my toolbox. Some are for the kitchen and some are for my soul. Tools in my kitchen Earlier this year I decided I wanted to paint the kitchen. It had been on our list of to-dos for quite some time so I figured we’d just get it done. But when… Continue reading Tools in My Toolbox

Inner Knowing

July 31, 2020July 29, 2020 Anne Brock

I flopped down in my hammock and let my body sway back and forth until it finally came to a stop. I had twenty minutes to tune into my inner knowing. Walking is usually my go-to for tuning in, but I had just been on a walk at lunch and I didn’t want to put… Continue reading Inner Knowing

Is It Just Me?

July 17, 2020July 17, 2020 Anne Brock

Are you tired? Or is it just me? It seems like I’m sleeping well every other night. That’s not good for me. 8-9 hours of sleep nightly is what my body prefers. When I don’t reach that goal my mood begins to change. With additional nights of less sleep my mind begins to spin out… Continue reading Is It Just Me?

Daily Notes

May 22, 2020May 22, 2020 Anne Brock

It was kind of a whim. I figured I’d send a few notes by snail mail while I was home. I said I’d continue doing this each day while we were asked to stay home. I didn’t expect to be here two months later still writing daily notes. I didn’t think I’d still be home… Continue reading Daily Notes

Zoomed In

May 1, 2020April 30, 2020 Anne Brock

Last weekend I spent quite a bit of time sitting on our deck with my DSLR camera. I put on the longest lens I have and started looking in the trees. I wasn’t looking for anything in particular — maybe a bird or squirrel. When I took the camera away from my face and spotted… Continue reading Zoomed In

On Productivity and Busyness

April 17, 2020April 14, 2020 Anne Brock

Some rambling thoughts on productivity and busyness I’ve been this way for as long as I can remember. On family vacations everyone would just be hanging out, not really “doing” anything, so I’d chime in: what are we doing now? I wanted a plan; I wanted to know what to expect next. The same is… Continue reading On Productivity and Busyness
