(I typed "yuppers" first ~ what do *you* think the spelling of this word should be?)
I changed the name of my blog. I think in the "pro" blogging world, this might be a no-no, but I'm not a pro, and I needed a change. I felt I had outgrown WIDE WORLD OF TIF.
Reflection ~ the day I headed out for C-A.
When I created this blog, years ago now, the story of my life was 100% up in the air, and up for grabs. I had no clue where it was headed, and welcomed this unknown. I was riding my life bare-back and holding onto my hat as I took off for who-knows-what. It felt Big, and dramatic, and Important. Romantic, or glamourous.
It didn't take me too long, time-wise, to wear out on that. Glamour gratifies and is quickly addictive, but it doesn't Nourish Deep Down. I needed nourishment. I veered off at a Y in the path and it slowly step-by-step (moment by moment, peu a peu) led me here. Now.
I feel soooo much different than the woman in the photos at the beginning of this journey. Thanks to some blessed Mirrors along the way, I can say that I feel as if I've learned some things. And I like myself more. I feel as ready as I can be for the path immediately in view. And, more importantly, I'm excited to embark.
The name I have chosen, Moment by Moment, symbolizes this quiet(er), step-by-step path I visualize taking. Hopefully being present. Hopefully being mindful. Hopefully still taking time to see and smell the flowers. If I could get Blogger to work with me, It wouldn't be a yelled, ALL-CAPS, but a more conversational extension of a hand in invitation. Peu à peu is French for "little by little". I have a love-affair with French, and love this phrase. It says much, poetically.
Reflection ~ last week.
So here I go.. ! I have wanted to post more about my process as this little one has grown bigger and bigger inside of me. But it feels so BIG (the baby, yes, but the process even more so), that I just never know where to start. Happily, I at least have been writing to myself, if not the cyber-world.
Blogging feels good for me, like nettle tea, and sunshine. So I hope to continue. And that is the official dedication: to take a breath, notice, and Share. Moment by Moment.

I never worry about you like I did when you embarked on your Unknown Journey... I trust you to trust yourself now, moment by moment. Perfect.
And you're just as spunky and sassy as the girl in the top picture--just smoothed out like buttah, not as spikey (I liked the spikeyness too, it was like a punk hairdo. but now yer smoov) (o:
