I'm Working On

My other half hurt his leg playing badminton before Christmas, and he still can't walk properly. He hasn't seen a doctor, he's just hoping it will heal in time, but it really is dragging on. Hope yours gets better quickly.

Good luck with Simon's new psychological testing and evaluation. I worked in the disability field for 25 years and am still there now that I am retired (volunteer). I worked with adults but know many of the children. You will be amazed at how much Simon will grow and develop thank's to your attitude and your team approach. He will live a full life thanks to you and his sweet personality. Love your conscious attitude towards life, your on the right track. I am a past runner, get that leg checked out so you can run again. thanks for your daily inspiration and your on line class.

I'm working on changing up the pictures in teh living room to make room for more family photos. I love what you shared above, and I defintiely want to fins some more visual inspiration online.

Love this paragrapha, Ali:

I’m working on creating space. Space to breathe, space to create, space to bring in more light. Moving things out to make more room for life (rather than stuff) and becoming more and more selective about what comes through the door (literally and figuratively).

That's something I really want to accomplish this year - which is why I must FOCUS (my OLW) on doing what I need to do to get there. :)

Hope your leg problem is something easily remedied.

i love that you are working on all your "stuff" life throws at ya!! I am working on staying motivated for my kids. working on keeping myself out of this "hole " new meds have thrown me into. i am working on being the best mom i can be fighting "R.A." so... thank you for your post you have made my day.

[...] this post on Ali Edwards’s blog this morning and it inspired [...]

I've completed a new photo wall for my livingroom, Just need to hang it. I love your post today, very motivating for me. Good luck with your leg. Hope that you can get back to running soon.

Hoope they find the cause of the leg pain Ali.
Have a good day

Love it! You inspire me daily!

Hi Ali,
My vote would be to go to a chiropractor. I've been running almost 30 years and my chiropractor has been able to help me the most. In my next life, I'm planning on marrying a chiropractor. Love your blog. Can't wait to hear the details on your travel album!

I love love love the photo wall!! we are slowly doing that w/our hallway, great to see it in someone else's house. I had tweeked a knee last fall & thought I was done running until I started seeing my chiro that practices the Gonstead Method & am happy to report no further issues :) good luck w/your therapist& Simon's school!!

I love your photo wall too! I need to get some of my photos off the computer and out onto the walls to be enjoyed. Thanks for the inspiration. :)

That wall is awesome oh I am trying to get my veggies in too I just made this shake that I said HMM I could do it again It even had Flax Seeds which well this was the first time using/eating them. Pretty good if you want to give it a try here is where I got it from :)

OH I took some AWESOME pics for my OLW so if your ears were ringing it was me saying I'm channeling Ali today ha..

I am working on a wall collage in my bedroom. I love the way it looks and makes me feel good. What about everyday pictures if your children are grown and live far away? What are some suggestions for those everyday photos b/c I, too think they are the coolest!
Take good care of you, ok?

attended a re-eval of my own today (i'm a teacher). i love the way you embrace the process and the team aspect of drafting an iep. sounds like you're in a great school system!
and the photo wall is gorgeous!

I am also working with my child....working on learning the foreign language of IEPs. We just recently got a diagnosis of Aspergers for my 5 yr old and have been doing the tour of doctors and psychologists and school testing and all those lovely things. I hope things get a little less stressful and smoother by the time mine is in 3rd grade.

Ali-

I too have an issue with my knee and leg. It happened about 3 weeks ago and i am so bummed, because i am to start getting ready for a 5k. (i am new to running).

Sounds like your road of planning out education for your son is going smoothly. For us it is rough at times.

Q: did you ever get the email i sent you, i just wonder if you did or if it went to your spam?

I hope the dr appt went well - glad you are getting this checked out. I spent a morning in guidance at school - "one of those days" at first, but my daughter got to class and her day got better. I love when a rough start eases out. And I love that her IEP accomodated us getting to school 10 minutes late without getting a lunch detention for it. It's the little things that sometimes make the biggest difference in a kid's day. Hope Simon's evaluation goes very well. Hugs.

Love the wall photos!
Simon is one very lucky little young man!!
Good luck with your leg and reorganization.........I'm constantly rearranging trying to figure out what works best, but still haven't managed to figure that out! I think I just have WAY TOO MUCH STUFF!! (working on getting rid of that too)

love that photo wall Ali- just gorgeous!
