This week's theme: Disclosure.

I spend most of my work week encouraging disclosure. Sometimes it's easy because people badly want a place to divulge. To feel listened to and validated.

Other times its really hard to let go of secrets.

tell the true story

this is the place to reveal

even if it hurts

This week's Haiku theme at Jenn's You Know... That Blog?

Resolutions.

steps on the treadmill

or elliptical for me

burning calories

I usually try to avoid new year's resolutions. The January invitation to February guilt. But this year, in the very back recess of my brain, I heard a whispering.

Get back to the gym.

So far I'm two weeks into success.

More stepping. Less couch dwelling.

Good. Good.

jensational haiku wednesday

Needing more, not less

Putting myself first, not last

Ergo my ego

And if you didn't figure it out by now, I built the entire Haiku around my wish to use "ergo my ego" as a line. Pathetic excuse for a Haiku but there ya have it.

spontaneous haiku writing

spontaneity

now, aches you'll feel tomorrow

trust me, don't do it

time flies

at no faster rate than when I'm reading blogs.

It's Jen @ you know that blog's

rescuing me from my usual mid-week blog infarction.

Jen's theme today is "Time."

Ah, time. That fickle mistress. She slows down when I want her to fast forward past the bad stuff, the tedious waiting, the checkout lines, the lady who doesn't get out her checkbook until the checker gives her the final amount, the long days at the office when I'm counting the number of sessions, hours, until I can pack up and head home.

But when I want her to s...l...o...w down, when I'm hurrying to get myself ready for work, when the ticking of the clock whispers, look at me, please, pay attention to me..., time is not my faithful friend. Oh no. She abandons me.

minutes fly, reading

blogs and comments and pictures

late for work, again

Be sure to check out Jen's haiku. A different, deeper level of how time flies.

now haiku yo selves off to school

Saved by the bell.

Jenn's haiku bell @ you know ... that blog ?

See, I'm due for a post and feeling, uhh, uninspired. Tapped out. In a funk. Wondering who out there in the internets really gives a crap hoot what I have to say because I'm pretty sure I don't give a crap hoot what I have to say.

But then? An invite from Jenn to ring her bell with an education theme on ...

rise up, kids, school's on
morning coffee awaits mom
and sounds of silence

Ahhhhhhhhhh.

A big thanks to all the teachers out there who show up every morning to inspire my kids. I am in awe of you. And I appreciate you.
