It's August and I'm...


Looking forward to getting the keys to our new house {less than two weeks now!} and making it our home.

Anticipating a whole lot of work related to previous entry, but that's ok by me.

Packing.

Drawing mandalas. Still.

Enjoying Mandala Monday's with my friend Barbara. We've been meeting at Whole Foods on Monday evenings when I get off work where we sit and sip wine, chat about our lives, and draw in our journals. I love Mandala Monday.

Participating in Louise Gale's Mixed Media Mandala class over the next four weeks and looking forward to some new mandala inspiration. {Barbara's taking the class with me too. Yay!}

Wrapping up a birthday package for my sweet Grandma. I need to take it to the post office today so she'll have it by Monday. She'll be 95 this year.

Reading "Key Muscles of Yoga" for my yoga teacher training coming up at the end of this month. The next three-month module will focus on anatomy which I find fascinating!

Writing several yoga blog posts that are sitting in my drafts not knowing what to do with themselves, and

Thinking about the direction of PaperTurtle. She's really YogaTurtle these days...

Creating music playlists for yoga classes. It's harder than I thought it would be. Or maybe I'm making it harder than it needs to be...

Adjusting to Carrie's schedule. She's busy with work and her beau so there's less time for Momfriend. I love this way of life for her, but I miss our time together too.

Praying for Doug's knee. His surgery is scheduled for noon today so big prayers and good wishes for a surgeon's steady hand and Doug's speedy recovery.

Feeling a little scattered but oh so grateful for this life.  :o)
 
What are you up to these days?

Getting excited about some remodeling and trying to figure out some new possibilities for myself creatively. Did Doug tear his meniscus? I managed to tear both within a short time so had surgery on both at the same time. Recovery wasn't bad. Sending io a healing prayer for Doug.

I'm wishing Doug all the very best for today. Get well Soon Doug!

And how exciting about the house. I bet you are full of plans..

Paper Turtle has always been more than paper. It's been cupcake turtle and sunflower turtle and quilt turtle.
I wouldn't stress about the name. My hope is that you keep joining us in blog land under whatever banner works for
Deb Turtle

Thinking about Doug and hoping the surgery has gone well (is going well. . .) and sending wishes for a speedy recovery. The two of you have a full plate right now. (But I'm thinking that's often true.)

Catching up my friend....hope Doug's surgery went well and that he's recovering and being a good patient! Xx

I'm so excited about your new house! It's so much work, but fun at the same time! Wish I was there to help.
