I have no idea what day it is in my challenge ... but then again, I have no idea what day it is on the calender, so I am not too worried! Had a wonderful weekend this weekend. The salamander I found on our last landscaping job was well received by my husband's kids and even his ex. We are now returning it to its woodland home and back to freedom! I think it will be appreciative (Julia, Rick's oldest daughter, named it Oblivious because that's what it pretty much was). But it greatly impacted, i… Continue

Today I joined my husband at a site and we worked together giving a client's garden a spring cleaning. It was easily the most beautiful day we've had this year. Also, more and more we are learning that we work amazingly together. He is so patient and understanding in training me (I have no gardening experience of this sort) and trusts me to do the work once he has shown me. It turns out that I am a natural at landscaping (this coming from someone who ran his own landscaping business for 1… Continue

Well, things are going really well for me. It looks as though I may have some amazing work coming up in the next week, and I am exploring my options in other work areas. My partner just landed a fantastic landscaping job, and he is feeling really positive and excited about the future. I'm tired because yesterday I was helping my partner hedge trimming at my father's. He took the time to teach me how to use power tools and I discovered that I really, really like power tools! I can see that I am g… Continue

Wow- what a great day today was. I can hardly believe that so much has happened in so little time ... especially when compared with where I was not that long ago ... a bit of a rut in many areas of my life, and it seemed as though I had been there for quite a long time, too. Today my partner and I worked on my father's hedge to trim it. We are working for free to help dad out and my husband is teaching me how to use the power tools, and just what is entailed in hedge trimming, etc. I felt very… Continue

What a wonderful, relaxed morning I have had, reading people's blogs and wathcing CCOR videos. I never did figure out how to load my video onto the website, but I feel pleased that I gave it a try- now I can comfortably write as I am used to! Yesterday, my partner and I had one of the most amazing days together that we have had in a long time. We'd been under a lot of stress and strain and it really was taking a toll on our relationship. That was one of the key reasons I was craving a supportiv… Continue

Well, I have not been able to upload my video. For some reason the upload gets stuck at the same place and just stays there. I left it uploading overnight and there had been no progress this morning. I am trying it one more time and if that doesn't work I will try making another video, and if that doesn't work I'll stick with blogging which I love and know so well. I am not sure exactly what had happened in my life, but something wonderful has occured. For the past few months I have been… Continue

I actually think I am going to use both the blog and video features of the website. I am really interested in learning to use new technology and I have always loved writing. I am not even interested in anyone reading what I have to say- this really is for my own enjoyment. I am feeling a lot better today than I have for some time now. My partner and I have talked about our next move for the future (Valentine's Day does seem to be the right day for it!) and we have decided that, more than… Continue

Well, I have to set time aside today to learn how to use my webcam. It is built into my computer and I am hoping it is quite easy. I am excited about tomorrow and starting the 100 Day Challange! I really have been craving some direction in LOA lately- a new way of using it and I am definitely craving a community to share my experiences with. This means a lot to me and I know it is no accident that, even after 2 1/2 years of being deeply committed to LOA, I have finally been brought to CCOR. I ha… Continue
