Grief, Anxiety, and Life…
July 2021… in MN for a funeral, I wrote this. And while it feels unfinished, imperfect, uncomfortable, wrong and a myriad of other largely negative feelings, that’s grief. A life stopped short feels that way too. Sitting in a bustling cafe in a little up and coming town in Minnesota, on the Mississippi. It's a… Continue reading Grief, Anxiety, and Life…

Change for Me in 2022
If you've been here for a while, you know I'm really into the whole resolution thing... but I'm definitely a goal person, and some people would say that's the same thing, so sue me...
