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

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…
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
Adventure in Cooking: Inspired to Game
If you read my other posts you know that I went to the book store recently... Well I got a cookbook. I have a few others and Nick has a whole freaking collection, but I think this is only the second one I have ever actually bought for myself.

Health in a Nutshell… you know, one the size of Kansas.
Yup... going there. (That’s me trying to convince myself that I am in fact going to write about this.) Let me preface this by saying that I am not a doctor, dietician, or any other kind of professional. Everything that follows is just thoughts and feelings about my own health, my journey, the different seasons… Continue reading Health in a Nutshell… you know, one the size of Kansas.
One of those posts about just kinda everything
It’s one of those things... everyone, or almost everyone who gives advice on how to grow your blog or following... how to connect, says to pick a niche. But see, I can’t. I’ve tried... But I just can’t narrow it down. I want to talk about my love of coffee and my new found cooking… Continue reading One of those posts about just kinda everything
Lately and Soon, 3/6/2021
Life has felt really nuts, so much so that I feel like I’ve fallen behind, but I’m learning to let that shit go. I’ve been working hard on several projects, I have finals coming up, the kiddos I work with have had some big schedule changes, we’ve had guests, gotten vaccinated twice, had power outages,… Continue reading Lately and Soon, 3/6/2021
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
My Top 5 Indulgences I Have No Intention of Giving Up (and a giant F U to the toxic bullshit I see online)
If you write often enough, you also run into moments when you can’t think of what to write... even though you REALLY want to. Chances are you either gave up and came back later, smacked your head until you came up with some idea, or Googled prompts. I just did the later. Only to find… Continue reading My Top 5 Indulgences I Have No Intention of Giving Up (and a giant F U to the toxic bullshit I see online)
