i moved a lot as a kid. i have moved a lot as an adult. i will continue to move a lot, in many different ways… physically, emotionally, spiritually… ideas of mine will shift and move.

life takes new direction every so often.

moving does not bother me. transitions do not bother me. i’m surprisingly ok with a little bit of chaos here and there, so long as i have some sort of idea of where i’m headed… what or where the end result will be.

for example: my book that i’m working on, that i have been working on… (yes, i know i keep talking about it incessantly, it’ll die down) is moving. i think it’s moving forward and in a good direction and i have received some excellent guidance to aide in that transition.

ok, enough about the damn book.

my life is in constant transition and occasional upheaval with the job that my husband has, the upcoming career choices he will be making and potential relocations as a result of it all.

the magoo is transitioning from a toddler into a little boy… little man. he’s becoming more and more independent with each step he takes, and it is incredible to witness.

sometimes when he wakes up from his nap, i go in his room, pull up his window shade and watch him rub his eyes and embrace the afternoon. he asks me for “mah treez” and points to the windows, and i tell him, “yup, those are jackson’s trees out there, waving ‘hello’ to you.”

he waves back to them. my little earth-day-birthday boy.

yesterday, thanksgiving day, was a transition for me as a wife and mother… hosting our first turkey day in our little apartment with our friends and not our family members.

change is occurring all around me and all throughout me.

and i’m not afraid.

i welcome it.

new ideas excite me. finding inspiration in the smallest of things overwhelms me with joy. and it is then, at that moment of inspiration when i decide to talk things and shift, transition, change and move.

this website is changing and will be going under construction within the next week. it will have a new look, both aesthetically speaking and in purpose. it will be taking a different path… where that will lead, i’m not quite sure.

but i trust the end result will be something i am proud of and something that conveys my passion and my heart.

my site, my stories, my words don’t define me.

i define them.

and so if you check in over the next week and witness little quirks here or there with regards to My Bottle’s Up, just know that we’re in transition… and heading to a good place with the help and support of good friends.

oh yeah, and i have a button thanks to lisa and aaron and you can scope that out by looking to your right, in the middle bar. feel free to copy and paste the code below it to snag my button for your own site and support my transition. thanks!
