They are actively renesting- one egg already, and yet also one juvenile from the last brood-hangs around the house- hasn't quite launched his next life chapter yet. Aren't we all like that?

I was spoken with my husband a few weeks ago, about how we should "allow" instead of "blocking". Sometimes, it really looks like we're blocking all of the good coming our way, with out thoughts, fears, our musts and shoulds- what if instead we paused, breathed, and allowed?<br />Now I need to paint something that reads "allow" ;)<br />Big hugs to you, Kelly.<br />Monica xoMonicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11541697451249535177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15302565.post-62291865274639319572013-05-30T15:17:42.472-07:002013-05-30T15:17:42.472-07:00Before marriage and child, I was all about taking ...Before marriage and child, I was all about taking care of ME.

Thanks for sharing all your stories with us. I am leaving behind my three small kids in Melbourne, Australia, with my husband while I travel to Paris by myself to do a writing course and take some art classes. It feels very brave and scary and exciting and creative and nerve-wracking all at the same time!

I am so excited to have this experience. Like you, I know I struggled with all the reasons why I could not do this, until I realized that I needed to make it happen.

I recently reordered your book "Taking Flight" through interlibrary loan. As I was flipping through the pages, I came across a ginkgo leaf pressed between the pages. I then turned to a page that has ginkgo leaves in the illustration. It made me smile. As I flipped through the pages some more, I came across a page with five tiny yellow aspen leaves tucked inside. I then realized that these leaves were from my yard from last fall! I like to think about how far they traveled in between libraries, staying put for me to rediscover them! Really enjoying your book again! Thanks for all you do. So inspiring!
