This year I adopted the 6 Changes method authored by Leo Babauta of The Power of Less fame. It's a formula to enact life change by concentrating on one new undertaking two months at a time. My change for July and August was to learn how to weave. I've done so with joy.

My change for September and October scares me to pieces: "research and choose a career path." I'm 46 and have been in career limbo fifteen years.

The morning air that fills this apartment is becoming too chilly, but I can't resist leaving the windows open at night.
