New Normal
There’s been a bit of a shift lately. I felt really great on Sunday. Like I was truly able to see this pandemic situation at face value. The answers seemed easier. I felt a settling in, a sense of calm. I’ll admit I’m not quite as zen after two full days of working at home […]
Give Way
So here I am. Actually, here I am with the littlest man, as adorable as he is ornery, and that says a lot. I know. I’ve been lost. Truly. It’s been one of those month-long ebbs, with occasional bursts of sunshine. Mostly, things just ebb and ebb, and nothing will flow. I’m not on sabbatical, […]
The Last and the Baddest
I come in peace. I come with my palms up, in front of me, with slow measured steps and endless humility. I have no designs, no motives. I only wish to live and to live well. And I am. All is well in my life, but I have a story to tell you that will […]

Not the Only Ship on the Ocean
Momma and Friday’s birthday boy on a better day than today! Photo courtesy of the lovely Jennifer Duskey I have been writing this post in my head all day, but words escape me now. I do know I’ve had one of those days where I’ve wanted to step outside of myself. I’ve wanted to get […]
Council of Friends
The last time we were all together… The Bitches, June 2000 I gotta tell you… I’m still looking for the bunnies and butterflies. I am working hard to rearrange some things in my head right now. I don’t really want to bear my soul on the issues, and, luckily, I’m a grown up, with free […]
