Teaching Ourselves To Really Live
Tags:
ANNA QUINDLEN :Life is made of moments, small pieces of silver amidst long stretches of tedium. It would be wonderful if they came to us unsummoned, but particularly in lives as busy as the ones most of us lead now, that won't happen. We have to teach ourselves now to live, really live...to love the journey, not the destination.
I'm heading up to Portland today to participate in Technique Tuesday's BLISS weekend event. Looking forward to seeing old friends and making some new ones and launching my Storyology workshop. It's been a crazy work-week and I must say I might just enjoy a couple nights in a hotel room all to myself.
Look for a new giveaway to post on Saturday morning. Have a great weekend.

Is that an ergo on your back? My 6 month old daughter loves it (although shes too small to be on my back yet!)

Ali, will you be teaching your storyology online anytime or writing it up as a book? I have friends going to Bliss and I'm so envious of them...
p.s. I love that quote.

that is so true, the military has sent me all over the world and I enjoy it, live it and try to consume it. Love this quote.

I absolutely love the pack, ergo? I have been looking for some kind of low profile back pack like that. What is it and where did you get it? I can't really go too many places with a hiking pack (REI).

Love the picture - wish I could go to Bliss, but didn't fit in the budget this year. Is that pic from Silver Falls? I've been dying to head up there for a day hike...kind of sad when I live 20 min. away and haven't been there in years! Have a great time at Bliss!

That is from Fall Creek Jackie - it was a great "shorter" hike.

Thanks Sarah - right now I am staying close to home as much as possible. I'm hoping to offer some more online workshops soon.

That is a very cool quote. I have always enjoyed the path, sometimes even more than the destination. I think that scrapbooking ahs been one of the best venues for sharing my pathway stories. Putting my perspective to paper. Like making your own road map as you go along. The ultimate geography assignment, lol.
