Time Travel

Do you get snippets of time in your day where you feel like you "go somewhere" without really going anywhere? Moments or minutes or hours where time seems to be transcended somehow? Do you ever experience that weird, freako, deja vu vibe? Do you ever fall face first in your work or your play and get lost there for awhile?

If you don't, I hope you start because it's a friggin' strange but awesome thing we can do as humans.

Mystery fabric from my ever-growing stash.
Weird and Beautiful. Kind of like time travel. And Life.

Recent Time Travel List:

• I am a speech-language pathologist in an elementary school and when I score standardized testing, write reports, crunch some therapy data, teach some kids...I am sometimes able to get in that Flow. I love looking at the clock thinking...where did that hour go? Oh yeah! I was in my hustle head space, doing my work. Cool.

• Alone in the house, I moved a bunch of furniture from the middle of our living room last weekend to make some space. I taped fabric to the floor. I smoothed wrinkles. I poked pins between layers of quilt. I chugged La Croix with loud music on. I. Jammed. Out. 

• A lot of times my brain is too full of garbage to "go somewhere" during this yoga pose but a few weeks ago I time traveled in Savasana on a sunny Saturday and it was legit (major understatement). Ommm to my Yogis out there!

• Last night I finished Modern Lovers by Emma Straub. Fiction novels got me like heart-eyes-emoji face forever.

• I walked in warm weather with my husband through my hometown that is now again my town where home is. Isn't it divine to think that Spring is strong enough to smell and you can walk around in flower fragrance for a short, special time each year?

• Scouring quilt blogs while scarfing lunch. 

• Cutting the ends off green beans before baking them in six cloves of garlic.

• Driving to Ohio with my mom, eating gummy bears like nobody's business.

• Hearing that machine hum, hum, hum under my hands....we're taking up the whole dining room table to quilt straight lines and squares this week, baby.

Make time for that Time Travel.

It's the good stuff.
