month two of 2012 is behind us and i have to say it has been a pretty great month. josh and i went snowboarding, visited old friends we’ve been meaning to see forever and boy was that gratifying. there’s something about seeing old friends that’s so comfortable and familiar. i feel like i got my fill of their good energy to last me until i see them again. every night we had long talks until the wee hours of the night. i enjoyed playing with our friends three kids, enjoying family dinners and drinking wine. as far as our apartment is concerned we have photo collages complete in the living room and entryway, our polaroids are also up. we’ve made lots of progress as far as decorating. i don’t own a scale but went to the doctor and find out i lost six pounds. i attribute it to cycling and stress. i won’t go in to a whole rant but i was really sick for the last few days after going to the doctor, i started off slightly sick and then was hastily given antibiotics which made me extremely ill. i’m going to commit to taking herbs and seeing a homeopathic doctor and acupuncturist. i find my body responds to treatment with herbs as oppose to pharmaceutical drugs. as far as what’s been going on in our kitchen we got tired of blackened salmon and started searing tilapia with a white wine reduction and shallots…so good! we also made carrot ginger soup with the carrots from our winter csa it was delicious. i did some thrifting both here in brooklyn and while on our new england snowboarding trip. i can’t wait to share some of the new digs. i’m so excited for spring. i already started wearing brights.
march goals
- 8-9 hours of sleep daily
- continue to work on being an active listener
- complete kitchen, bedroom and entryway decor
- take at least one yoga and or dance class this month
- take vitamins daily, bring lunch from home to work, more tea less coffee and drink lots of water
how are your goals going? I find putting the goals down in writing really helps. of course there are a gazillion other goals swirling around in my head but for now this is what i’ll focus on. happy march people!

I was doing really well with the drink more water goal but then kind of fell off the wagon… determined to get back on though.
That sounds lovely, visiting old friends. I saw an old friend over Christmas and it’s just so nice to be around people who really know you!
So many great goals! And you did such a great job last month!! You make me feel like such a slacker

These are beautiful goals and It sounds like you are doing very well for yourself. It is good that you listen to your body and know how to get help too.
I hope that you show off your new decor and thrifted finds
Glad you found something that worked for you..i find too that the more natural and herbal….the faster it heals me! I like your active listening goal!
you have a great set of goals! The drinking water one is one of my continuous goals, and the bringing food to work is a great one…. it saves a ridiculous amount of money each week, it’s kind of scary!

hope i manage to do well this month.
Aww visiting old friends is the best- I feel like that’s what really been missing out of my life lately, well that and an un-decorated home, which I meant to have finished by now but really haven’t started so thanks for the reminder, you are such an inspiration. Glad to hear you’re feeling better w/ natural medicines.
I was just thinking about giving tea a go, again, in an effort to drink less coffee. Let me know how it goes for you. Any recommended brands? Do you put anything in your tea?
Hope you’re feeling better!
its good to sleep more
That is SUCH a lovely photograph. The absence of people but strong presence of someone having been there and the light is beautiful. http://emsdarkroom.blogspot.com/ Nice blog. Emily x
