I’m Terra. I blog as Zoeyjane. I’m a constantly changing, moody-as-hell single mom to a kid who makes her peers on Halloween look mellow and well-behaved.
Because big changes happen all the time – from Isobel’s haircut, to my potential return to school – I forget about the little things that I start with good intentions and never go back to rewitness. I forget to pat myself on the back for going three months without wheat or dairy, or now more than six without coffee, because I always seem to focus on the big and shiny and failures along the way.
That’s what I said in this post.
2009 brought a barrage of enlightening moments my way and because of it, and since it, habits are being refined, eliminated and taken up all the time – those that both better my health and sanity, improve my quality of life and that of my daughter’s, and eventually, give me a greater sense of self-acceptance and the feeling as if I have a positive role in the universe. I have big dreams and little follow-through, naturally red hair and a mouth like a sailor, little patience and a craving for instant rewards.
Oh, and I’m moving to Paris in 2011. Maybe.
