Well, it's been so long since I posted, even blogger has changed it's format! The first part of the year has been a whirlwind of sometimes frustrating, 'up-in-the-air-ness' no matter what the area of life. For someone, who could not inaccurately, be called a control freak, this was quite a challenge for me to - let go....but through perseverance, some meditation and lots of dark chocolate, I feel the lightness once again and a new path has become clear.

| Wet Felted Tapestry with story pockets......made with Suzanne Down ;-) |
Our family undertook quite a collective journey when I entered the
Waldorf teacher training program three years ago and now with graduation
looming this May, we carefully looked to several options for next year
in my teaching career. Cut long arduous story short, I was offered a
position at The Waldorf School of San Diego as their newest first grade
teacher! Woo Hoo! Here's the odd thing though, we had been looking to
move there a few years ago and it was just not lining up, so this is a
welcome move be it the harder physical one.

To celebrate a few months of very hard work and exhaustion, The Hairy
One and I decided a 3 day music festival, which happened to fall upon
my birthday and close to our 15th year anniversary was just the
thing...so now back from Coachella,
which was full of great sets from bands I either loved/didn't know but
liked very much/still don't know the name but loved. Being among crowds
of very peaceful music loving people warmed the cockles and let me
forget the super-grown-up-stuff for a minute.
That coupled with a great trip to the Grand Canyon for Spring
Break, really has me ready to start making lists....more to come...and a
couple of workshops coming up soon too..

Donovan Boy is excited to have his own room and the possibility of new friends and freedom, Little Gandalf is less enamoured about leaving his
"whole life" behind, but he's not really wrong, only a two hour jaunt away. I am very excited to meet my new set of parents and I am contemplating writing my first story for the children already!
