About The Weiss Life

IMG_4801.JPG

I'm just a forty-something Florida girl. I love life, my husband, my girls, my pups, my friends & family, music, activity and adventure (exploring locally and traveling globally!). I believe in the power of words, an unlimited potential, the possibility of change, and the need for people to JUST DANCE, GIVE GRACE, GET OUTSIDE and SLOW DOWN.

Beyond that, I'm a therapist turned Life Consultant to women. In addition, I have leanings to homeschool my kiddos as they get older, and I post about that process here AND here.

Jill-of-all-trades or maybe none at all? You decide. :)

Disclaimer: This is my personal blog. My mind dump. It's messy. I'm messy. I claim no authority on anything (or anyone) but myself. The blog reflects that. It's often a catch-all for random and sometimes a soapbox for specifics. I don't take myself too seriously, so I beg you to do the same!

The story behind the blog:

When I began blogging waaayyy back in the day (think late 1990’s), I did so under the title “Ordered Chaos.” That matters now only because it STILL represents the head & heart space out of which I share …

Pied Beauty by Gerard Manley Hopkins:

GLORY be to God for dappled things—    
  For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;    
    For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;    
Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches’ wings;    
  Landscape plotted and pieced—fold, fallow, and plough;
    And áll trádes, their gear and tackle and trim.    
 
All things counter, original, spare, strange;    
  Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)    
    With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;    
He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change: 
                  Praise him.

Life is a dappled beauty — perfectly imperfect. We, God's children, are chaos, full of potential and designed as such, for much. God makes us unique, offers us a role in an eternal story and gives us a chance to write something awe-inspiring and exhilarating, even in the mess we make. We are all ordered chaos ... and, for me, that truth is freedom. Freedom to be me.
