This poem was inspired by the poem 'Lost in the MilkyWay' by Linda Hogan Scars shine white, Against my pinkish skin. Like stars stand out, In the blue-black sky. Both reflecting the past We'll never see again. A story we will never, Wholly know. There, and there still until they are gone. Gone Nova, gone… Continue reading Yesterday’s Poem: *untitled still*

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
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. Seriously, if you don't have adult besties who stay the night, make awesome brunches with you, cry over Queer Eye, and play Overcooked...… Continue reading Seattle, Jan 1-3 2022, Day 1

Best of 2021: Moments
Last year I wrote about the best Music, Books, Clothes, and Household items of 2020... and while those lists have their place, this year I really wanted to celebrate the moments. There were so many... and ironically most of them, I failed to capture on camera in anyway... because I succeeded in living in them.… Continue reading Best of 2021: Moments

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
