article: homework to Date: weeks 1 & 2, endofweek spark | written down

First of all, I want to say thank you to everyone for their posts thus far—the visual eye candy and heartfelt musings are a real inspiration to me.

I participated in the first round of the challenge, but was too chicken to do anything more than admire everyone’s artful and creative work. So when I joined this time I made a resolution that I was going to post my work despite any fears or doubts I had (too boring…not arty enough…no sense of design..etc.)

So, to honor that commitment I made, here are my first three entries for this round.

Week 1:

I used some words that I had used in a circle journal piece I did for the 2Peas Crop last August in Madison, Wisconsin..They read:
Mom to Grace; Writer; Wife to Michael
Kayaker; Yogi; Paper junkie
Human; Dreamer; Ice Cream Addict
Ohio native; Organized; nature lover
beginning knitter; natural food fan
Delafield, WI [ED NOTE: where I live now]
Age: 35; artist wannabe
traveler; seeker; europhile; gardener

Journaling on tag reads:
I thought I’d have more figured out at 35 than I do. What I do know is that I to LIVE A LIFE that’s true * colorful * alive
TRULY ME AT MY BEST

Week 2:

I made a list of traits that will never change for me…My “true north” traits…(with apologies for a little redunancy with the last list. :-) )
passionate; tribe of friends; traveler
nature lover; helpful; city lover
creative; sleep-needer; book reader
curious; kind; generous
reflective; seeking; verbal
love my daughter; smart; beach girl
Saturday roadtripper; married to my best friend;
big picture person
uniquely me

End of Week spark:

Journaling reads:
Where would I like to be right now? In Paris, at a cafe eating crepes. At a villa in Italy eating a meal al fresco. In an ashram in India. At a Vietnamese restaurant in the Lower Village/NYC. At a B&B in Vermont. Making love on a beach somewhere. At a cabin on a lake in the North Woods of Wisconsin. Anywhere, really, that’s new, fun, adventuresome, stimluating, expanding
TRAVELING

TFL!
