http://musingsbynay.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html

A modern woman's thoughts on life, love, and random things that catch my attention. Saturday, August 28, 2010. I'm working on a blog post on ladylike fashion, so I promise you'll hear from me soon. In the meantime, here is a video of a poet named Taylor Mali. It explains exactly why I teach. Sunday, August 22, 2010. Have You Missed Me? So sorry I haven't blogged in a while. I've been on vacation on Emerald Isle, NC. In the meantime, check out my friend Kat's blog, Tiers of Joy. If Only Life Were A Movie.

toute doucement: December 2011

http://toutedoucement.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html

Saturday, December 31, 2011. A new year, an old year, a now year. The hindu name for capacity is akasha,. Which is often thought of as the sky, but really can mean everything. everything is part of akasha, and everything is produced by, and will return to akasha. It means we exist. we are all parts of the whole. the same universal soul that shakes leaves out of trees, causes waves to crash, birds to fly, babies to be born, snow to fall, at men to laugh at it all. The most important thing for me right now...

toute doucement: country of ciphers and codex

http://toutedoucement.blogspot.com/2012/05/country-of-ciphers-and-codex.html

Sunday, May 6, 2012. Country of ciphers and codex. One thing about this country, is it takes a strong, strong. it breaks a strong, strong mind. Bill callahan, "drover," apocalypse. Emory pass, black range (new mexico). The southwest is a land without explanations. a land of illusions, of dreamers, and eroding realities. New mexico, known colloquially as "the land of enchantement" has another nickname to those who spend their time toiling in her badlands and deserts, "the land of entrapment.". There are l...

Monday, January 23, 2012. How to get from here to there? A dreamy perspective of what lies ahead. Decisions, decisions. maybe some of my followers that know me best (yay friends and family) can weigh in to my decision making process. lord knows i need help. Option 2) virginia - new orleans, louisiana - austin, texas - alburquerque, new mexico. stops in knoxville, tennessee; new orleans, louisiana (mardi gras! Austin, texas (awesomeness); sante fe, nm; and albuquerque, nm. http:/ g.co/maps/knr5k. But alas...

Monday, February 13, 2012. The art of craigslisting. I owe most of my life to craigslist. As i travel from here to there craigslist has been a necessary tool in fulfilling my immediate needs. Just got into town and have no place to live? Need to find a roommate? Need a truck to get your new furniture home? Need new bike parts? Need a ski rental? I really don't know how i would get on with my life without craigslist. You can pull yourself up by your bootstraps in this world! As desperate as i am, craigsli...

toute doucement: slow it down

http://toutedoucement.blogspot.com/2012/03/slow-it-down.html

Tuesday, March 13, 2012. Well if this was week one here in silver city, it feels like week four. to be fair, i have been here 10 days; but to be honest, its like, uh. been a lifetime already. Turning a new leaf" isn't it at all. its not like something "new" or even could be called a "beginning". really, moving to silver city has been a seamless transition that has felt all too. Well if such things can really. Which brings me to my point: slow it down. Photos taken from a snowy (! And so when someone asks...

Sunday, June 3, 2012. Fire in the mountains. Man always kills the thing he loves, and so we the pioneers have killed our wilderness. some say we had to. be that as it may, i am glad i shall never be young without wild country to be young in. of what avail are forty freedoms without a blank spot on the map? Aldo leopold, a sand county almanac. The beginning of the whitewater baldy fire, taken 5/18. Whitewater baldy fire progression, 5/31. As of today, the fire is now 17% contained. this is great news,...

toute doucement: little by little

http://toutedoucement.blogspot.com/2012/04/little-by-little.html

Sunday, April 1, 2012. On that note, i have been playing in the sunshine, and digging around the yard with my lovely neighbor and fellow plant-lover, rachel. and we have been busy! The little creek that runs behind our yard. doves love it here, they coo-coo all day long. The flower bed-bed (its a converted bed frame, or something like that) soon to be housing copious greens! Rachel and my biggest success yet: our very own compost bin! My favorite flower, hands down. New home for veggies: tomatoes, pepper...
