Easing back in...
...with a picture of my feet. Heading out for an evening with friends on Friday night. In my new shoes that I am breaking in for my upcoming trip to New York.
And with the first tiny, unfolding flower of spring, in a crack in the cement. My computer sabbatical was refreshing, and I think I should have taken it a little sooner. Now I feel a little bit like this flower, slowly opening back up.
I have some projects, as well as just some life, to share with you this week. And I'm having fun checking back in with so many of my favorite blogs ... it's amazing to see what all of you have been up to these two weeks! And now I'm going to get off the computer. Because it's fantastic. But so is everything else that's going on here. And I need to remember to keep that in balance.
welcome back, sweetie!

I've been to ask you about the amber teething necklace. Did you make it or buy it?
It reminded me to start wearing my big amber pendant a few weeks ago when my head was killing me every day, and I swear it has really helped the headaches. Now I just need to find myself a cute bracelet... :-)

I'm glad to see you back. If you have any New York questions feel free to ask, I grew up there and still go back about once a month.

Welcome back! I love those shoes!
Grace, I tried to answer your email - but my answer was sent back to me twice...???? I will try it again tonight, but now it is early morning in Germany and I have to start my Tuesday routine: kids playgroup with a XL-cup of coffee for "Mama", singing lesson, recorder lesson, choir for the kids, choir for me... Have a nice day!

Welcome back. I bought those shoes in the salmon color last summer. I love love love my Keen summer shoes. So comfy, so good to the feet. I am still a good 6 weeks from being able to wear my shoes outside, but I think I may have to start wearing them in the house.
