The final word

Okay everybody, I give.

I am on the wrong side of the digital divide, and I'm embracing that fact. So here's the deal:: I'm burning a new feed today for my new blog, and that means this subscription won't automatically hook to the new posts....but I do have all of my subscribers addresses and I will input all of those into my new subscribe button....All you'll have to do is click the confirmation email you'll receive and we'll be back in business. I do SO hope you won't disappear, and please contact me via email kate@ncpublish.com or blankiechronicles@rocketmail.com if you aren't getting updates or don't receive a confirmation email.

For those of you following me via google or another reader, I can't do much except ask you to please hop over and add my new site to your reads....and thank you profusely for doing so!

In the meantime, you might have missed the following posts::
monthly mindfulness:: The Mantra
Inside:: Outside

Jumble
Monthly mindfulness:: sticking point
Our classroom

Thanks again for following along-- I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the new site (if I haven't already;))...

I'm MOVING!

I’m sitting in the dark as I type this, a baby sleeping across my legs and a growing boy’s arm flung across my stomach. Justin is out of town, I picked up multiple writing gigs with deadlines all looming today or tomorrow. Homeschooling will kick up next week.

And in the middle of that, I decided September 1 HAD to be the day I welcome you to the new blog.

Hmmm...

On one hand, I’m typing in the dark, longing for sleep, still with a pile of stories yet to be written. One the other hand, it is a perfect opportunity for me to start thinking about my new monthly mindfulness focus, especially because I’m kicking it off with the topic of time.

A perfect opportunity for me to remember that this new adventure can and will require flexibility. You know, the kind that requires a lot of deep breaths, a lot of to-do list revisions, and a lot of "long run" vision. The kind I had to exercise a bit of last week when we wen to the fair, where I tried to hold back overtly loud sighs as my boys learned how to shoot guns (in a very non-sanitary environment no less)

and rode rides run by people who looked intoxicated,

and chose foods like this at the midway.

Of course, that deep breathing paid off in these faces,

and in the fact that this is the prize of choice in my house

and, perhaps best of all, after one bite of cotton candy, I got a rousing round of "Yucks!" Yup, this is what we had leftover upon leaving.

Not so bad. A little flexability. A few deep breaths. I have a feeling this is going to be a mantra of mine now that we're going live with the everyday posting...

So without further ado: please come visit me here::

And excuse the construction dust. No one ever said I would understand what the heck “custom css” means. But we’ll get there.

*If you aren’t getting updates from me this week, please pop over to the new space and resubscribe. We’ll kick off our “real” daily posts tomorrow.
