Pausing

Today I am pausing. (It's Monday, not Sunday like the date on Blogger says?!)

E & C are under the weather so we didn't go to school. I knew this was a good idea when the blessed woman who sorts out relievers (at 6 in the morning) found a lovely reliever for my class. The sun is shining, and small jobs from the 'Important but not urgent' category are getting done.

Like a housewarming card for a dear friend.. I've included a copy of the recipe for her favourite cake which I have to take each time I go to visit; like a phone call to the washing machine man to service our washing machine.. you know those jobs.

I remembered I promised photos of the Sliding Patch. That was fun!

There is an action shot of Em. And, I had a go, after much enticing!

Remember those mad kittens? They have made themselves quite at home, and are providing lots of cuddles and laughs!

Off to do some more bits and bobs.. waiting in anticipation for my Magical Decluttering to begin!

Hope all is sunny and well with you today!

Delicious!

Oh how delicious to be back here.. funny how I schedule time to come and blog and it doesn't happen, but if I go with the flow, well, I find myself here!
This morning I was perusing Kelly Rae Robert's blog, as I tend to do, and I clicked on a colourful link to Goddess Leonie
www.decluttergoddesses.com

I have looked at her site before but this time, the link was to invite me (I'm sure it was there especially for ME!) to be part of her decluttering course. I was in the middle of de-cluttering my bedroom floor (again!) and Wayne was in the middle of decluttering his bedroom drawers (again!).. can you see where I'm going with this?

We need help to make our home as delicious as we are .. our dreams and goals are noble and humble - yet we keep going round in circles. No more! I have elected to do Leonie's course, and am thrilled to also find something I can do as a distraction from teaching, and will move us further in the direction of our dreams. The teaching is delicious too, but I'm finding that I am either planning, teaching, tidying my class, or recovering from doing all of the aforementioned. Plus running my delicious home. I want to get some things in place to do the living bit.. and the saving for home renovations.

Any other wisdom to share?? Hmm, yes, just a word to remember to look for the sacred in the ordinary.. I practiced that yesterday and found some magic in a small co-op craft shop in Johnsonville that Em and I happened upon. I met a woman who invited me to a craft group that meets on the 4th Sunday of each month at the Johnsonville RSA - from 12pm. Free, community-based, for crafters only (no children!) and pure kindness that Linda wanted to share this with me! Thank you Linda!

bye for now.. C
