Gratitude Project: The Silence

August 25, 2010

I haven’t updated this blog since BlogHer. That’s the longest hiatus I’ve taken from writing here since I started about 16 months ago. It’s not that BlogHer put me off blogging; far from it. The conference was incredibly inspiring. I made great connections, had a lot of fun, and left feeling more inspired than ever [...]

Then Everything Changed, and Nothing Seemed Different

July 31, 2010

We’re home. The trip back was uneventful on the outside and hugely transformative on the inside. I miss our family in Argentina already, so much it hurts to think about. I’m incredibly grateful to them for having us there for such a long visit, and for holding us in so much love. I really feel [...]

Baby’s First Tarot Reading

July 27, 2010

Serena got into my Beautiful Tarot app on my iPhone yesterday and figured out how to pull the cards. I love Tarot. I love this Tarot app. I use it just about daily. My only wish is that future version include a Thoth tarot. I’m never sure I think it “works”, since there are no [...]

Best Misadventure Ever

July 23, 2010

We spent yesterday traipsing around downtown Buenos Aires, having the best misadventure of our trip. Plan A: Martin takes Ian and some of the older cousins to an art museum downtown, while I stay home with the girls. Except it was a beautiful day, and the kids were going stir crazy. So… Plan B: We [...]

Around The Sun, I’ve Gone Again

July 23, 2010

I’ve now made 32 trips around the sun, riding along this bright planet. Had the most wonderful birthday. If this year has begun as it will continue, I’m in for one of the best years of my life. The day started with sleeping in late, a hot shower and a delicious breakfast. A decadently large [...]

Friends Day!

July 21, 2010

Yesterday was Friends Day here in Argentina. This is a national holiday devoted to celebrating friendship. Everyone makes an effort to spend time with their friends, and they exchange small gifts like lollipops. It’s supposed to be a day to tell your friends you love them, even if you’re normally too shy to do so. [...]

50 Happy Years!

July 20, 2010

The beautiful people in this truly terrible photo are Martin’s parents, celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary with some of their children, sisters, brothers, cousins, grandchildren and friends. The celebration yesterday began with a moving ceremony at a church downtown, and was followed by a reception dinner and dance at a nearby hotel. It was an [...]

What To Do In Buenos Aires?

July 6, 2010

So far, our days in Argentina have been all about getting our bearings. We’ve gone for long slow walks around the neighborhood. Played along the riverfront. Spent time with family. Taken naps. Shopped for a few essentials we neglected to pack, or discovered we needed after arriving. It’s been exhausting, just landing here. We’re on [...]

In Argentina

July 1, 2010

We’re in Argentina, enjoying the winter holiday with Martin’s family. We’ve been here for a few days and are still largely getting settled. Here are a few true things about our trip so far: Poinsettas grow to be giant trees here. TREES! I am not even joking. There was a hailstorm recently that smashed all [...]
