Category Archives: Across the room | Exploration in Self Portraiture this was a day where I couldn’t let go of not getting it all done burning the midnight oil the stretch took me to the other side effectiveness no longer my ally late night computer work is almost always a red flag that things are out of balance once in a while it must be… show 2 comments i love this ‘across the room’ series… love seeing you here too..giggle xx Love this Thea! So cool that he’s such a little reader…  Turning 40 last month was added incentive for me to step up my game and try another way to add exercise into my life. Although I am active a few times a week when photographing clients, and on the weekends when we go on family hikes, I spend a lot of time sitting at my computer and… show 2 comments i am so proud of you for sticking with it!!! You are SO BRAVE to do this by yourself…. i’ve been wanting to add exercise….hehe… just committed to riding the Argus bicycle tour (100km) in 2016. Starting practising in April…hahahahahah!!! i think it is crazy! Oh! the reason for 2016…that is when i turn 40…thought that is a good reason… anyway…you inspire me!!! xx i happen to appreciate a real woman, an honest person.  Put one foot in front of the other Integrity Do it even if you don’t feel like it Today is Thursday. I have made a commitment to show up with a self portrait each Thursday. I am tired and cranky and feeling pretty low for no reason I can specify. But lately I have been… show 7 comments Always inspired by your spirit and beautiful heart as well Lynne! oh wow Thea! and there you took the photo of you doing exercise too…pretty girl! While reading this post, i was thinking yes, yes, yes, yes. if feels as if i’m right there with you in all the feelings….must admit it gets easier to put he trainers on with the brown socks… and not to be concerned what others think… but so with you. mmmm… i’m so inspired by your spirit and your beautiful heart xx I have endless admiration for your fortitude. How you continue to show up. how you keep your focus and keep the drops in the bucket coming because you know the bucket will fill, eventually– and you do not discount the very small size of that one drop, that one day– you inspire me– you walk a path I very much want to follow. xoxoxox, e I loved this post Thea. Show up. You’re right, it is so easy to skip it or get wrapped up in the day. thank you for sharing. @Bella: open kitchen cabinets are a feature in our house too Sweet girl. You dorked out with your sneaks & brown socks because you love your boy. And that’s why he thinks you’re a rock star. this is great. i love how you put the sneakers on anyway.  He plays while I work. Work: I was sitting wrapping and order- right in front of the window -super easy to set my camera down and set the timer. We play: I took a walk with Trey on Tuesday and left my camera at home. I had mixed feelings about it. Often I hold us… no comments  Trey tested positive for Strep on Monday morning and had to stay home. In the afternoon we played a nice long game of Qwirkle. I really enjoyed playing with him. Just sitting and spending a couple hours together. I want more play time like this. You might also see a new book I got a… no comments |

I guess to ebb and flow is just natural right? Nice to have enough of a reference to guide ourselves back to. xoxoxo
Oh how I can relate with this post. It can be so difficult balancing everything. I m currently in that juggling stage….but I have dropped everything and am slowly picking the balls back up again.
It is great though when you can recognize. Pause for a moment and say…this needs to change. It is then when we start walking towards balance. If only we could stay there.

i believe there is one little word that stands out in this beautiful poetic writing… surrender….
surrender…
have you read the book ‘A return to love’ by Marianne Williamson.. .
mmmm…. such a beautiful book…
written as beautifully as your writing….
surrender to love xx
This sounds so familiar. I think a spa day is in order.
Thea, I hope that you are right! I keep telling myself “baby steps”. That I can’t make it happen all in one day, but it will happen in time. xo
Tina-thank you – so I am not alone!? The awareness is key isn’t it? giggle Then to be aware of all the conscious and subconscious choices I make each day, and the acceptance of time and what is possible in a day. I keep telling myself with that will come empowerment in place of feeling overwhelm. xo
I feel like I could have written this myself!
So much to do, not enough time to do it, and trying to take care of myself as well.
A balancing act, in which we find ourselves out of balance at times, but I do feel that it will balance itself out again, as long as we are aware of it.
