like wiser, older sisters. 

Like good, good mothers."

(Awake, Jen Hatmaker)

Going back to short hair ~ a simpler version of me.

I debated for a long time if I should do it, but felt like something in my life needed to go - 

& it was my hair. Love this article by Elizabeth Gilbert on the subject - I resonated with a lot of what she said.

Trying to keep up with life / kids / work.

Reading.

Rebounding.

The odd project.

Going to do my best to Lazy Genius my 40's.

"Here the quickening yeast;

there the blue plums.

Here the clam deep in the speckled sand.

Are my boots old? Is my coat torn?

Am I no longer young, & still not half-perfect?

Let me keep my mind on what matters,

which is my work,

which is mostly standing still 

& learning to be astonished."

(The Messenger, Mary Oliver)
