I've had this post for a while (and this recipe! ... so sorry can't find the original source :/! ) However, I was sharing with the Girl tonight, that even the most desired of "own-selfness" time has escaped ... no ran like FloJo out of my reach for more than a month now... everything I've actually done... and the tasks/projects that sit in partial abandon has felt heavy... cumbersome.

When there is unrest in my charming space, the first thing to take cover, is my ability to keep fences. It is not something new to me, yet each time I find myself in this situation, it's like a splash of cold water raining over me .... jarring and unnerving. However, the thing I've noticed lately... I'm able to honestly and without fear say out loud...

!Hey... ya'll are messin' with my mojo!

Which leads to wonderful things ... like me writing without guilt tonight, even if it's quickly while the house-peeps, barkers and new kittens snore softly all around me... I get to indulge breifly dreaming about this because ...sigh ... love it.... and gosh, there is this super wish that time is running out on :/ !! And if I could keep this teeny tiny fence up... maybe just maybe I can make it to this awesome Part II.

OK... this farmer chick has set a list of chores longer than her pant leg for the mornin... which will be here in a few short ticks... sorry for my lapse, I'm workin' on better fencing.
