It’s been a year. 525,600 minutes. 12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days, 4 seasons... One incredible research project, two messed up ankles, three jobs. There’s a million ways I could measure the last year. Although almost none of them fall into the categories RENT prescribed. In daylights: all of them, although I didn’t get out… Continue reading 525,600.

Grief Driving
Grief Driving ( written August 2020) Dad, Do you remember the summer mornings when you’d drive us to Munising for our days with Mom? Or when we’d leave the house early to go fishing? The hot afternoons, coming home from one of the little league baseball games or fishing trips? Windows down, music up, and… Continue reading Grief Driving
#SecondhandSeptember: High Fashion, Fast Fashion, and Frumpy Fashion… How has Covid Changed the Fashion Industry and How do we Want it to Change?
*this was started in September 2020... I went through a weird time in my life and I never posted or finished it, so I’m doing it now, because I think it’s worth it. Anyone who hasn’t spent ALL of the last 10 months under a rock knows that the world looks very different now then… Continue reading #SecondhandSeptember: High Fashion, Fast Fashion, and Frumpy Fashion… How has Covid Changed the Fashion Industry and How do we Want it to Change?

The Next Three Days
As I’ve had the time and the thoughts to share, diving back into my writing, my goals, and my next year... it’s hard to not also look back at the last year.

So it’s Christmas, part 3
In all my wishing and planning for this year, I have found lots traditions and things I desperately want to try next year. It started with that Instagram question I put out there into the ether. My best friend suggested an Advent Calendar of some kind to help me count down the days. I started… Continue reading So it’s Christmas, part 3
So it’s Christmas, part 2
This ‘improving Christmas’ has become a bit of a pet project, one that has sparked my desire to write more again. I think this has largely to do with the feeling I can’t quite shake, the feeling that I can’t be the only one experiencing this right now.

Sunday Best 9/6/2020
A spur of the moment kind of morning. Nick woke me up at 10:30. I stayed up way too late, but still got my 8 hours... Puhtzed for a hot moment, talked to a friend for almost an hour about mathematics, education, board games, and goals. Spent a little while deciding what two wear out.… Continue reading Sunday Best 9/6/2020
Storm Spotlight
Tomorrow is September and 49 weeks ago Storm joined our little family. He was the start of something wonderful and representative of so much more than any of us realized. He's definitely not just an ordinary cat. When we first decided to get a cat, I'd been watching the local shelter postings for weeks. I… Continue reading Storm Spotlight
