Just Showing Up Is...

-

I’ve always said, “Don’t offer. Just do it.” It’s a hard concept to always follow through on but when you do, it’s usually accepted. And more than that, needed.
Be kind. Be empathetic. Listen without judgement.
And show up. Take the risk to show up.

I'm Behind...

I admit it.  I'm behind on my pictures.  I missed last night.   Oops. In my defense, I worked my tush off with Tommy running some much needed errands for the Palace and then taught class for Apprentice Company which was another success.  (Huzzah!)   Pair that with a super stuffy nose and sinuses that are just going wacko.  (New Hampshire and I have trouble with my allergies and hence have trouble mixing.  Argh.)  Trust me-the combo of coughing and a stuffy nose made the day felt longer than ever...when it really wasn't that long at all.  I'm pretty darn sure I went to bed before 11 PM.  Goodness gracious.   Anyhoo, so I'm playing catch up as I down cough syrup and vitamin C.   Fact of the matter.  Let's move on from this being behind issue. Yesterday's photo was this:   Now, at first glance...it's a traffic sign and obviously a highway or busy road of some sort.  A median in the middle.  A truck zooming past the sign in the background.

I'm Italian...I swear...

Another preface to Italy posting #2. Chris and I are currently sitting at a small table in the hallway of our B&B, eating the provided breakfast. And what is the provided breakfast today you ask? Well, for me it's my first cappacino (at yesterdays breakfast we had the Coffee Americano) for me and an espresso for Chris, fresh strawberries with plain yogurt on top, homemade croissants, nutella, fresh butter, pasteries, granola, ceral, fruit, pomegrante juice, and small soft pieces of bread that are set in a basket above the table. Soon (coming to a table near you ;)) is a plate of hams and cheeses and toast, a popular Italian breakfast topper, displayed on a circular wooden plate and as always, it is all displayed impeccabely. Oh yeah. Life is good. I love eating breakfast here. In New York, Matt's lucky to get me to eat his made from scratch breakfast's. Although they are delicious, it's often hard for me to eat them due to my rushed schedule and sadly, my const

Okay.  So I'm not denying it.  Or saying I haven't known full well that I've been...well, sort of behind.  But let's face it... Life happened and I sort of fell behind IT.  So I couldn't much keep up with the blog in addition to the amount of things I was trying to keep up with.   -hangs head- Shameful.   So, this morning, I ventured back to my blog, I thought to myself, 'Oh, I know I've been slacking but it can't be THAT bad.  It can't be THAT long since my last post..." September 30th.   September 30th?!   Um.   This is what I have to say to that. So.   In this respect, I have NO idea where to start.  But I CAN share pictures and tell a little readers digest of the last month and a half.   Since my last post I have enjoyed an apple orchard and apple donuts. Good for a dancer, I know... I've worked hard...carving pumpkins.    I told you.  Hard work. Apple pieeeeeee...  Don't be jealous. Beca
