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

The Pink Sweatshirt
In the park by the River On a Saturday evening The one with the blossoms in spring There’s a girl in a pink sweatshirt. The zip up hoodie kind. Walking her dog. There’s a man in a vest.

An Open Letter to Experienced Grievers…
Yeah, a bit morbid perhaps to think of grief as something one can become experienced in, but I think accurate. But as I start to feel myself tipping into that category, I also find myself frustrated by just how unhelpful my own experience is.

Smells, Sights, and Sounds – My Grief

Social Distancing: are we still doing it?
In the beginning... March 14th, it felt like any contact at all was the end. I stayed home, only went for walks when nobody was around. We cooked all our own food and only went into the world when we had to. I washed everything frequently. It was like that for 4 weeks or so.… Continue reading Social Distancing: are we still doing it?
The Little Things, like Ping-Pong
It sounds cliche, because it is. That said, the strange times we live in have made it all that much more obvious how true some of the cliche colloquialisms are. After spending most of the last 3 months alone in my apartment with my cat and occasionally my boyfriend (he works a lot), coming back… Continue reading The Little Things, like Ping-Pong
