i feel so wordless lately. i suppose it’s because i’ve been lost in thousands and thousands of my own words while editing the manuscript. it’s already been through one round of edits with jessica, my very patient and lovely editor. now it’s my turn. of course i’ve totally underestimated the amount of time needed for such endeavors so there have been some long days around here. the perfectionist in me wants to dissect and rework and rearrange paragraphs and write more and on and on. it’s quite the process..deciding what to add, what to cut, what parts don’t feel quite right and how to fix them, etc. but the good news is this: i feel really solid about this book. it’s coming together. it’s got heart. and ideas. and projects + techniques. and a lot of musings and thoughts. i’m thankful for loving it right now because a few weeks ago i was afraid. afraid that the heart never made it into the original manuscript and that i’d have to do some serious soul digging to find it. but, it’s there. it’s there.
today, my dog bella and i did something we’ve never done before. we walked directly across the street and entered the park, full to the brim with grass and trees and land. ‘no dogs allowed’ my ass (pardon me). today we were rebellious. today, we found all sorts of new treasures just outside our front door. today we ran and tried to eat goose poop (i mean she tried to eat goose poop) and did a pretty good job at distracting ourselves while missing our favorite person in the world: john.
i’m trying to use the personal time alone to remember this (because it has always been true and something we talk about often):

Love your post. Beautiful quote and oh so true.
crazy powerful, this truth of taking care of ourselves. i needed the reminder today…oh yes…everyday. thanks for shedding the light!:)
i have been chekcing in on this space of yours for a little while now, but I finally am trying to reach out and connect with people.
you’re an inspiration!
you’re going to have a fabulous book when it’s all said and done…
i’m so glad you and bella are having some fun adventures while john is away (even though he’s still your favorite person, of course). and i couldn’t agree w/ you more about the editing process and under-estimating how long it will take. i just blogged about this, this morning. how do i under-estimate every time i conceive of a creative project!?! i guess it’s all part of the learning curve, the getting to know our selves curve, the creative curve. oh the curves! happy friday to you dear lady.
I enjoyed looking around at your art work and your photos. Very interesting work. You do seem to have a thing for feet.

thinking about you my friend…
beautiful words full of much heart and truth.
sending love and peace your way…
I enjoy your blog so much and have been totally inspired by your art, your articles in CPS and your honesty and openess. The first time I came across your work was at a major crossroad in life when a copy of Cloth Paper Scissors found its way to me one night at Borders. I too am a girl on an incredible journey and am so glad to have discovered some like minded peeps to travel with.
Thank you.

Hi Miss Kelly,
Just thought I would drop by and say Hi…it has been so long! Glad to hear that your manuscript is coming along…and that it has heart…I never would have doubted that…I think it has always been there, but sometimes seeing the essence is difficult esp. when one is awash in pages!!! Can’t wait to see how all of your efforts come to fruition.
You take care…and enjoy those precious weekends with John!
xoxox,
Laurie
What a beautiful post! Best of luck with that editing–you’ve done the hardest part, which is just getting it all down on paper. Brava 🙂
I talked just a bit about my pooches today:
Letting Sleeping Dogs Lie
I love your dog’s name, btw 🙂
Happy Love Thursday!
