This last month and half has completely slipped through my fingers — without any time or ability to sit and reflect on all of life’s changes.  My rhythms have completely changed, meaning that I need to take some time to establish new ones and try to figure out what best nourishes and inspires me. But rest assured that all is right with the world, at least in my little bubble.  Until I can get things in order around here, how about a peak back at this time last year?

32 Things: Update Two: First off, Happy Halloween!  Although it certainly feels like that time of year, there is not a whole lot of evidence that its Halloween over here.  And we’re not helping things by going to see Thomas Quasthoff in concert tonight at the Philharmonie, which is kind of  like the opposite of trick or treating…
