odds and ends

***************
a list of randoms about me in no particular order:

i am a little scatter brained right now.
i am not sure if it is a phase or how my personality has evolved.

i feel most grounded when i am teaching, it is my yoga.

i am totally obsessed with a new rescue that came in named grayson. he looks like a baby ewok and shuffles around the floor with his short, fluffy legs like a caterpillar. oh my goodness. and he loves to be held like a baby and groomed with a blue flower brush. and his little tongue hangs out.

it keeps me up at night thinking about all the people who abandon and neglect their pets.
i don’t understand it.

people think i wear scarves on my head because it is stylish but really it is because i hate to style my funny hair.

i feel like a wussy a lot of the time.

i also have waves of gratitude
and hope so strong it brings me to tears.

i love italian people.
i love their spirit and openness.

i love fog, smiling babies, and footprints.

70% of my life right now is in boxes.
i wish it were more.

i feel bad if i do not visit the ocean
at least once and day and say thank you.

my boot collection is getting bigger
and bigger, which kind of ruins my traveling
light plan.

people comment on my name and outfits
a lot with words like
“unique” and “different”

or sometimes people flat out
use the word weird.

this oddly does not phase me.

i have been really hard on myself lately.

i think the closer i get to my dreams
the more i freak myself out.

water and music calm me down.

and you?

I love that you get to visit the ocean everyday. Say hi from me next time you’re there
Your list is beautiful. It sums up a life that is whole and wide. I enjoyed reading it!

that really spoke to me when you said “the closer i get to my dreams the more i freak out”. that is me to a tee! i also have been too hard on myself lately. why is it so hard to just let go and “be?”

you should read The Bid Leap by Gay Hendricks – you are so ready to leap into your Genius Zone & let go of all resistance. you are amazing & beautiful. weird is just another way of saying you’re sooo beyond the box the illusional world holds us in

I am a big fan of you, Mccabe. Posts like this, where you lay out all the mosaic pieces of your mind and heart, only make me love you more. I’m so glad you’re in this world.

I am soulful, restless and rough around the edges, easily amused, obnoxiously random, very strong willed and very tender hearted.

I don’t trust easily and when I do it can almost effortlessly be eternally broken but I never trust anyone that doesn’t like kids, dogs or frosting.

None of my relationships are casual.

I’d rather hurt than feel nothing at all.

I am a collector of memories, lyrics and quotes.

I take pictures barefoot, my door is always open and I mean it when I say it’s never too late to call.
I eat everything with a fork, absolutely insist on having matching plastic hangers, will not listen to a song if I miss the beginning of it and take a shower after I take a bath.
I believe that the words love and life are verbs, not nouns.
I love cup cakes, sushi, salad bar salads, chocolate dipped strawberries, baked potatoes, ice cream, warm Earl Gray with milk and honey, microwave mac &cheese, mangos, cherries, clementines and German gummy bears.

I think that your music collection and the way you treat wait staff says a ton a person.

This was a fantastic post, thankyou for sharing…I also loved hearing what Melissa had to say – my sentiments exactly…I often say I don’t trust people who don’t like animals or children. Trust is a huge one for me also. But if you are my friend, I will travel to the ends of the earth and back for you. I need trees and water as much as the air I breathe, and I need my coffee in a seriously big cup x

Mccabe – I have followed you off and on for the past 2-3 years. What I have found is that when I feel most lost, I come to your page and read some of your entries, and I feel like I have found my way again. You have beautiful words and from those words I can tell that you have a beautiful heart. Thank you for putting yourself out there for us to find.

i found your blog completely by accident and my heart jumped when i read about the waves of gratitude, and i could feel warm joy filling my whole body. thank you, thank you..

I love when you share ~ and there are so many of the same items on my list too. About 85% of my life is in boxes at the moment! I wish that were not so ~ but the moving begins tomorrow…baby steps at this time. It will all be ok! If a person dislikes animals, children or the elderly then they don’t need to be in my life. I love that you can visit the ocean daily ~ please offer my thanks as well.

Much love my friend ~

I LOVE reading your blog! Kim B. here in Wilmington turned me on to it. Loved the “odds and ends” and that cute little pink tongue on your kitty. I’d be entranced too!
