Time flies

I hadn't realized I've neglected my blog for a long time. Wowee.

I've been quite busy with the kids, my marriage, work, and school. It wasn't too long ago I was posting my first pictures of me with a back pack going to college in 2007. Well now I'm going to graduate. I'm hoping it will happen in Dec. 2011, if not, it will happen for sure in May 2012.

Very exciting stuff happening.

Hugs,

Just launched a dream of mine!!!

Go to CreativeSoulArtsStudios.com to see my new website and venture.

We will be giving art and writing classes to help kids, pre-teens, teenagers, and adults find their stories.

I'm so excited. We will be doing this in our home art studio. :)

See my new website.

Take a peek and let me know what you think.

Hope to see some of you in our sessions this summer.

Creative Expressions class play at Friday co-op

It's been awhile since I've posted...

Wow...what a busy year this has been. The kids are all busy with activities and groups. We are in the Friday co-op here in Austin, we just started a SelfDesign Learning Circle using Brent Cameron's idea's from his book SelfDesign. SelfDesign is beta testing learning circles and Austin had the opportunity to be one of the three circles in the country.

I'm working on my memoir and facilitating various workshops and classes using SoulArts, art, and storytelling techniques to assist people to explore their truths and stories.

The weather in Austin is lovely this time of year. We're getting out a lot more and enjoying nature.

Hugs,
Tracey

The Holidays

I love this time of year. For me it's a time to reflect, time to clear out the "stuff" from last year (including emotional stuff), spending time with friends and family, giving myself some special treats like Starbucks, playing holiday music, keeping candles lit, etc.

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all of you!

I planted three trees....

I'm so excited I planted my first three trees. Yes, that's what I said...my first trees ever. Well if you don't count the tree I gave to my mother on mother's day when I was 19 years old. Whew...that was a long time ago.

I haven't been much of a plant/tree/etc. person, but I'm hoping things will change in that area of my life.

We are now looking into a Sudbury School for the kids. There is one starting up outside of Austin that we are looking at.

It would be really nice for the kids to have the daily interaction with their peers while being able to decide what they are going to study.

More to follow. I'll try to get some pictures of my trees.

Hugs,
Tracey

In a nature area near my home I found this growth in the middle of a bramble of what it appeared to be dead brush. Spring is coming!!! Growth always follows death!!

"Nature and the Quest for Meaning" Class at Tx State

I was thinking of taking this semester off, but due to some circumstances I can't change, I'm going to attend school. I'll definately take the summer off and who know's what I'll do in the fall.

I'm so excited to be taking Susan K. Hanson's "Nature and the Quest for Meaning" writing class. Check out her website www.susankhanson.com She is a fantastic nature writer and professor at Texas State.

We are going on an overnight nature field trip next week to Wimberley. Pictures and more information will follow.

I am beside myself and ready to see what this class has to offer me.

Hugs,
Tracey
