In a new job, in a new chapter, and feeling the need to write again. It's not a new feeling; wanting to write feels inherently like wanting to share. Wanting to share feels inherently like wanting to connect. And so here I am. It's not just the new job, the new phase of life that… Continue reading Back again

Caring around COVID, yr 3
Don't get me wrong, I know so many of us are REALLY burned out with the global pandemic, and contributing to that burn out is the total saturation of the media we consume with COVID related stuff. I already write about it a lot... it's my own way of coping with it all, and I… Continue reading Caring around COVID, yr 3
Seattle Jan 1-3 2022, Day 2
Day 2: Nick got up around 7:00 to get a little work done. I slept in until 7:45. It was great. Admittedly, during this two week break my schedule has been wildly unorthodox and unhealthy. This trip so far has actually been a great reset. We were out the door by 8:45, on our way… Continue reading Seattle Jan 1-3 2022, Day 2
Seattle, Jan 1-3 2022, Day 1
Day 1: We got a later start than I was originally hoping we would, but for the best reason. We were spending much needed down time with some of our best friends.

The End of Another Season
It's been a while since I've really written. As with most Autumns in my life, this Autumns brought a lot of changes... a switch in the family I work for as the boys returned to school in person, full time, after almost 11 months with them. My own new classes, a new job for Nick,… Continue reading The End of Another Season
My Little Free Library and The 2021 Reading Challenge
That I decided to start in July... That's not entirely true. I'd set a rough goal back in January, but it wasn't until July when I realized just how little I'd actually read when compared to what I really want to read, and it lit a fire. So here I am, in August, trying to… Continue reading My Little Free Library and The 2021 Reading Challenge
Do You Still Care?
Checking in with myself and with you... on the anti-racist work we all started over a year ago. It's been more than a year since the protests started in response to the murder of George Floyd by police. Last summer was filled with every kind of protest and movement.
