Leaf Dreams: May 2009
http://leafdreams.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Not to be easily summed up in a word, but to embody contradictions.". Wednesday, May 20, 2009. The persons of people. I've never been good with people. One-on-one, I can get along with just about anyone, make them laugh, pull a good story out of them, even enjoy myself. But add another person, and my balance shakes. The more bodies, the worse I am able to divide my attention. I try to avoid large group situations, I hide, or I stick with one person in the crowd. Friday, May 8, 2009. The persons of people.

Leaf Dreams: October 2010
http://leafdreams.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Not to be easily summed up in a word, but to embody contradictions.". Friday, October 15, 2010. As an admitted list-lover, I enjoy reading other people's lists, and often think in terms of them. What do I feel like for dinner tonight? Top five ideas, based on what's in the fridge. What music should I listen to right now? Top ten songs that are proven to help me get work done. What's on my life list? San Diego, July). Participate in Iceland Airwaves. Visit the Galapagos for as long as possible. It was one...

Leaf Dreams: New years resolutions
http://leafdreams.blogspot.com/2013/01/new-years-resolutions.html
Not to be easily summed up in a word, but to embody contradictions.". Thursday, January 3, 2013. It's been two years. Far too long. Worse than that, to start a post with such a cliche! Regardless, the reason for my absence is also cliche: I had a baby. The new year started, and I'm still mulling what I want 2013 to be. What should I keep, and what should I leave behind? For the things I hold onto, what's my goal? For the things I get rid of, with what shall I replace them? Make eating its own event.

Not to be easily summed up in a word, but to embody contradictions.". Wednesday, March 6, 2013. February food and running resolution reflections. Make eating its own event. Don't eat in front of a screen. Chew more. Go straight through the mud, water, rocks, whatever. Use momentum. Coming up: two tough ones that will prove extremely valuable. Take a smaller serving. Split restaurant food in half before digging in. Leave a few bites on the plate. Use smaller plates/containers. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Leaf Dreams: Running resolutions
http://leafdreams.blogspot.com/2013/02/running-resolutions.html
Not to be easily summed up in a word, but to embody contradictions.". Monday, February 4, 2013. Things to concentrate on each month. I'll keep what works and ignore what doesn't- after giving it an approximately 30 day trial. Go straight through the mud, water, rocks, whatever. Use momentum. Before and/or after. Morning and/or night. Use the foam roller, MELT balls and other tools. No more race distance to prep for- bring on the speedier mid-week runs. Hit the track once a week. And then a long vacation!

Leaf Dreams: December 2010
http://leafdreams.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Not to be easily summed up in a word, but to embody contradictions.". Thursday, December 30, 2010. Well, a month has passed since my birthday and it's time to get on it. Here's my list for my 32nd year, and how it went:. Finish a sewing project- No. Started one but my sewing machine was packed up for the remodel. Knit a pair of gloves- No. Again, I started, but am on my third start-over-again. Complete a photo project. November 30 (Vegan MoFo). Make a painting- No. Not even close. Write a work (novel?

Leaf Dreams: Number 31
http://leafdreams.blogspot.com/2010/10/number-31.html
Not to be easily summed up in a word, but to embody contradictions.". Friday, October 15, 2010. Well, I finally did it. After three years of thinking about it and doing shorter sprint-distance triathlons, I registered for and completed a twice-as-long Olympic distance tri. You can guess which one I chose- the easier one! I registered two or three weeks beforehand so I couldn't back out. The morning of the race, I woke up an extra hour early (4:30am) and lay in bed. Instead of having to bike to the st...

Leaf Dreams: January 2013

Not to be easily summed up in a word, but to embody contradictions.". Wednesday, January 30, 2013. January food resolution reflections. It's the end of January. This month's mantra was "simple meals." My guidelines were:. Focus on the veg. Try new side dish recipes. When in doubt, roast it. Maybe even try steaming. How did my first monthly food resolution go? Next up: "make eating its own event: Don't eat in front of a screen. Chew more." Sounds easy enough, right? Perhaps I can turn the whole (short!
