| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- KonMari my brain please I was pretty convinced that the editor at My Personal Dream Magazine (trademark pending) hated me after this last round of edits but then she emailed me with a pitch and it is such a cool story and I'm very grateful. This will be my third story for MPDM and if you'd told me a year ago that I'd be writing for them on a semi-regular basis I wouldn't have believed you. 2019 is off to a busy start. One week until school starts and I've been up-to-my-nose with freelance work and syllabi revising. Not complaining--not at all. If anything I did allow myself a few days between Christmas and New Year's to take it easy as much as possible. So glad I did--even if it means we still have holiday things strewn about the house and my closet needs KonMari-ing. I'll eventually get to it all; it was just so nice to allow myself to enjoy chilly winter mornings, curled under a blanket with a good book. If I'm being honest I need to KonMari the whole house AND my brain. Clear out thoughts that do not spark joy and throw out a few old Tupperware containers and t-shirts while I'm at it. I only hope I can sustain this balance of busy purposefulness and relative moments of calm once school starts. The last two semesters were so difficult they nearly did me in. The conditions that made them so hard, however, won't be in place this semester so I have a sliver of optimism going in...check back in with me in a few weeks, we'll see how long this holds. 6:32 pm - 13.01.19
