I feel compelled to write. I really want this habit to reform. I really want this method of reflection to just be a part of my day. But, here I sit stuck again. Today was simply a day. It was … Continue reading →

Tuesday, May 22nd

Michelle — Wed, 23 May 2012 04:35:18 +0000

I have moved the computer to the kitchen. One light bulb is out, and the orange glow in our soon to be outlawed incandescent lights is disturbing my visual field. The dishes need to be put in the dishwasher. The … Continue reading →

Community Coaching

Last week, I had the opportunity to tell my buying club’s story to another buying club. This new buying club just started. They had only completed only two buys and were working on their third. Levi and I joined them … Continue reading →

Dear 16 Year Old Me

Michelle — Thu, 17 May 2012 05:14:57 +0000

You will go to prom with your friends and have a great time. Your senior year will be fantastic. You will learn that college is hard. You will learn that finding yourself is hard. You will loose interest in finding … Continue reading →

Monday, May 14: Spreading the Food Word

Michelle — Tue, 15 May 2012 06:47:53 +0000

Tonight, I had the opportunity to discuss buying clubs with a newly formed club. They were focused, enthralled, and concentrated on every word I said. It was like I was telling a beautiful fiction they’d never heard, simply focused on … Continue reading →

It’s Mother’s Day

Michelle — Mon, 14 May 2012 06:47:10 +0000

Disclaimer: This is sort of a grumpy post. A few days ago, I was asked, “What are you doing for mother’s day?” I answered, “Oh, I’ll probably have to do dishes, make bread, you know…” “What do you want to … Continue reading →

Mission Driven

More than twenty. I’ve been ballsier about admitting this lately. More than twenty jobs. Most of which were held in my twenties. Twenty for twenty. I used to think it was me. I owned the responsibility for having this many … Continue reading →

It’s Monday, May 7th. Another busy day at work. A day full of meetings and interruptions and not checking much off the to-do list. Another day in a series of days that have made me realize: I don’t like fast … Continue reading →

Sunday, May 6th

Michelle — Mon, 07 May 2012 05:12:40 +0000

Okay narcissistic rants aside – I do enjoy writing every day. As the (over written?) introvert, I do better when I can process. Writing allows me to process. But, what to process? The never-ending balancing act and working towards my … Continue reading →

When There’s Nothing to Write

Michelle — Sun, 06 May 2012 05:27:31 +0000

… there is. Two friends have asked me recently, “What happened to your blog?” The answer is nothing. Nothing has happened to it because I’ve done nothing to it. I answered the same answer to both: I get tired of … Continue reading →
