What a difference four years makes

Sara Lobkovich — Sat, 29 Dec 2018 00:19:46 +0000

I haven’t written here in four years and I wouldn’t be writing here now, but for the fact of having paid off my credit cards (winning) and closing one (awesome) which lead to me not keeping current with my old rock climber girl dot com domain registration which was linked with a very old domain registrar … Continue reading What a difference four years makes →

He’s kept me in roses

Sara Lobkovich — Thu, 20 Nov 2014 17:47:21 +0000

This morning, he complimented me — he said I looked really nice today. My hair undone, wet from the shower. My untouched makeup bag in my purse, for later, when I got to the office. Glasses on. Jeans dug out of the bottom of a climbing bag. Sloppy chunky sweater typically relegated to robe duty … Continue reading He’s kept me in roses →

Retreat. Renewal. Risotto.

Sara Lobkovich — Tue, 30 Sep 2014 01:57:48 +0000

In the last few years I’ve had a new yearning to travel alone. Specifically, I’ve been daydreaming (for years) about taking a yoga / meditation / writing retreat up at Doe Bay Resort on Orcas Island. Every time they host a retreat or a conference that would be right up my alley, I eye it, … Continue reading Retreat. Renewal. Risotto. →

Stage five

Sara Lobkovich — Sat, 23 Aug 2014 14:55:33 +0000

It’s been a few days past a month since everything came to a head and changed. To be totally honest, everything changed long before that — I just was in denial, hadn’t accepted, refused to believe — it took me a long time to get to the place of tearfully trying to get through my … Continue reading Stage five →

Last week I totally flunked girls’ night.

Sara Lobkovich — Wed, 06 Aug 2014 05:09:18 +0000

One night last week I got off work and picked up Gibson and had the thought that I’d take her to the dog park, but because I was running late for a long-awaited girls’ night with friends I haven’t seen in ages, I skipped the dog park and headed straight to my friend’s house. After … Continue reading Last week I totally flunked girls’ night. →

The universe is a coyote

Sara Lobkovich — Thu, 24 Jul 2014 06:02:23 +0000

When I pulled into the line-up outside the hotel parking garage, there was a white SUV already parked by the keycard reader, the access gate lowered. A button-down-shirt-sleeved arm stretched out the window, inserting and removing the keycard into and out of the reader. Insert, remove, pause, red and yellow lights mix to orange, indicating … Continue reading The universe is a coyote →

Where my eyes are drawn

Sara Lobkovich — Mon, 20 Jan 2014 18:17:08 +0000

I am in my happy place, this morning. The sun rose in sherbet colors this morning, the loveliest of pastels reflecting off the dunes and the grey-blue of the Pacific Ocean not two blocks from my windows. It’s still early, so half the world is backlit (which I love) and the other half illuminated by … Continue reading Where my eyes are drawn →

Bokeh

Sara Lobkovich — Tue, 14 Jan 2014 18:57:43 +0000

January.

I don’t really make New Year Resolutions. Resolutions – or rather, things I’d like to try to do – come to me all year long, and I take a stab at them, and some stick and some don’t. Most don’t. I always aspire to write every day. I aspire to make room in my schedule for a regular yoga and meditation practice. Exercise goes in waves of on the wagon and off the wagon. Sleep rarely gets the prioritization it needs or deserves. But even so, I think we can’t help but think about a new year as a chance to start, in one way or another. To start new. To start fresh. To make change. I mean, each year we have to get used to writing the new year instead of the old year. If we can adapt in that way, why not others?

We’re having a lovely holiday season… Ryan and I started down the slippery slope of Christmas decorating in earnest this year, by picking up a few big cedar garlands and a swag. That lead to ribbon, and ornaments, and digging out some lights I’d bought on clearance for a summer backyard party we never had, … Continue reading Right sized reading, 12/27/2013 →

A work from home morning.

Sara Lobkovich — Wed, 18 Dec 2013 19:48:11 +0000

Gibson graduated out of her crate a couple weekends ago – we worked up to leaving her alone for a few hours in the living room, tucked happily on the sofa, instead of in her puppy crate while we were out of the house. Everything was going well – happy dog, happy people – until … Continue reading A work from home morning. →
