Mental Menagerie: Soulful Sunday - Initiating Mindful Thinking
http://thefoxtaleblog.blogspot.com/2014/03/soulful-sunday-initiating-mindful.html
Sunday, March 2, 2014. Soulful Sunday - Initiating Mindful Thinking. It has been my inclination for these past couple years to be full. By full, I mean, to have a filled schedule, and to live a full and fulfilling life. I accomplished this by accepting a full-time job offer, and beginning a full-time masters program. I also began planning a wedding with my beloved, and attended to my usual suburban farm chores and more impulsive, short-term projects. I break it down into steps:. It's working for me.

http://thefoxtaleblog.blogspot.com/2016/02/books-of-2015.html
Friday, February 19, 2016. I like to read. This past year, I read more fiction than I normally do. Particularly fiction of the fantasy genre. And these were my favorite picks in all genres:.

Mental Menagerie: Music of 2015
http://thefoxtaleblog.blogspot.com/2016/02/music-of-2015.html
Monday, February 1, 2016. In remembering my youth, I recalled that I used to obsessively listen to albums with the booklet in my hand. I would reread lyrics and view the art. I wondered if my increasingly slim attention span had been affecting my musical adventures, though streaming services have provided this procedure of random playlists with ease. For the first time in years, I have a favorite albums list for a calendar year. Alabama Shakes – Sound & Color. Torres – Sprinter. I am in love with this wo...

Monday, February 17, 2014. Harvest Monday - Feb 2014. It's February. All I can show you is the state of my garden beds:. Yeah, that's a whole lot of window screen. Sorry about that. But you can see my beds and trellis are just shrouded with show. It's beautiful. No good for planting and harvesting, though. We received one foot last week, 7 inches another week, 8 inches in the week before that, and 6.5 inches in the week before that. Tomorrow, we get three inches. I have another project on the loom. Our s...

Mental Menagerie: WIP Wednesday - Loom Project 2
http://thefoxtaleblog.blogspot.com/2014/02/wip-wednesday-loom-project-2.html
Wednesday, February 19, 2014. WIP Wednesday - Loom Project 2. I am loving the weaving. I decided to use Spunky Eclectic Panda Sock yarn in the color "Vampire Kisses." It's a self-striping yarn with short bursts of color going maroon to white to grey to charcoal to white and back to maroon. This color way lead to a surprising effect in the pattern of my scarf once on the loom:. Weaving continues to be a delight. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Subscribe To This Blog.

Friday, January 15, 2016. I have to say, 2015 was an awesome year. Even if I didn't blog about it. Deer in early spring. It was awesome for many reasons. I lead a fulfilling life full of good things.

I get sick, and I have aches, but overall, I'm a healthy person with health insurance and access to whole foods and time for exercise. Im going to ...

Mental Menagerie: Community Activism
http://thefoxtaleblog.blogspot.com/p/community-activism.html
I consider my work in the nonprofit sphere, my volunteer work, my vegetarianism, my consumer choices, and my outreach through online media to be my community activism. For me, activism is about education and empowerment leading to action in order to address a social or political issue. I will link here my work with AmeriCorps, as well as guerilla gardening activities and other, perhaps more personal agendas. Issues that may arise:. I think borders are imaginary lines.
